For those of you who didn't stay up into the wee hours following these 40 battles, here is a bit of a run down. Make of these numbers what you will.

Those ladies and gentlemen are going to be the people that you have elected to serve and represent you. Will they? That is the big question. If you would like to keep an eye on how they represent you, please join the forum. I, as one of these , ask that you frequent this forum, communicate with your Party President, and message your government if you have questions, ideas, or you just want to get to know us.
For those of you that did not get elected, this does not mean that you cannot share your concerns and questions with those that have in order to better this beautiful island. Any work you put into growing our nation is welcome.
So There you have it Ireland. Your newly elected congress.

uaithne, How can IV have 66 members and have 69 members who voted?
Also just to point out there were some records broken yesterday.
@ Kavrocks
I can't speak for any other Independent Voice, but I campaigned all of the citizens of Cork and Kerry by personal message, including those of other parties and non-aligned. Not everyone votes by party lines. Also, never discount the citizens overseas who arent in any party, but still vote. Also, as far as I am aware, Independent Voice has the largest per capita active rate, with the majority of its members alive and kicking.
Nice, Saoirse did very well
Nice article Uaithne! 🙂
Cheers to my dublin voters! 🙂
Well done all
Digits I know people don't have to vote by party lines and I know about the people in parties. I am questioning his wording. He says 'IV have 66 members and all 69 members voted'. I would not have a problem if he said 'IV has 66 members and 69 people voted for their candidates'.
I would be surprised if I recieved more than 5 votes from my party. I too campaigned for all of my votes.
@Kavrocks Fwiw last month, when I wasn't standing, I'm 99% sure my vote went to someone from a different party. I thought the person in question was a very worthy candidate but I'd heard they were lagging behind.
As it happened they didn't get elected anyway. It's also worth noting that people at level 6 can vote (I levelled to six the day of congress elections, and voted) but can't join a party until a level later.
@Moo : I completely agree.
@John : Haha yes but each and every vote was deserved.
Nice one Ua!
An interesting line-up of gorgeous Gaels.
/me sheds a tear, and *sighs* to see Nith back in the saddle..
Whoa Yeah!
G.xx
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Sorry for the delay.
@Kavrocks, I apologize for my poor wording. It was strictly a typo. It is bound to happen at 1 a.m. I beg forgiveness for my error.
