National Rank 1
Party President BigAnt
Members 287
Orientation Center-right, Libertarian
Congress 5 members
Country President Richard Feist

Analysis

Looking back at previous congress elections there was no UKPP representation before November 2011. In November 2011 the votes were low (73) but since then the number has increased (varying between 106 in April and July 2012 to 183 in November 2012) but remained reasonably constant. Only once (November 2012) have we had the most votes in Congress and there appears to be no increase in line with the increase in total votes that seems to have been happening since July 2012.

Questions

- Why are so few of our members voting?
- Why are our votes not increasing?
- How can we change this?

Discussion

An obvious reason for so few of our members voting are that many are inactive. Do we have to hold on to inactive members or can we get rid of them? Are we bothered about holding on to them?

Many of our active members may not be voting. How can we encourage them to vote? There are new players everyday, how can we get the to join us? Is it possible to get current players to join us? From within the UK? From Overseas?

Conclusions

While we are the biggest party we are not getting our share of representation in Congress. To fix this problem we need to:
- recruit more people (both new and existing players)
- promote us as a party
- cooperate so that we're working better together as a party.

Vote for change, vote for improvement, vote for progress, vote for the UKPP.

- Why are so few of our members voting? Most that are active are, like any party we carry our fair share of dead inactive accounts, there is no mechanism in eRep to allow people to kick from parties.

- Why are our votes not increasing? While we may not be seeing an increase in voting turn out we are seeing a steady ship. Which is just as important. Others have fallen by the wayside, some are making efforts to get back. UKPP have been consistent.

- How can we change this? We do everything we can, our members are regularly informed of elections, our recruitment team do a great job of attracting fresh blood to the party. We, the members need to make it a pleasant and helpful atmosphere so they stick around and continue to click away...
