Congress elections April

Hello all,
Hereby some numbers on the April congress elections. For March check, http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/congress-elections-march-2386494/1/20
Results from 2014 in number of votes:
And in percentage of the votes:
Comparing to the March congress votes GPN and Libertas lost influence. Libertas went from number 1 to a shared 4th place. DemNL went from 5th to 2nd place and was the only one who gained votes this month.
If we look at the total votes we see a worrying number. In the last 2 months we lost 34 of the 156 voters.
Hopefully more voters next month.
Greetings,

Nice article. Keep on making these!
Voted. Yeah, just as I expected. 😒 Unfortunately, as I said, I don't think we can do much about this population decrease because the initial growth in our population numbers was supported by eRepublik admins sending out e-mails to old members of eRepublik that had gone inactive. Now that those that came back saw the "new" eRepublik many of them have since gone inactive once again.
AFAIK that were no erep officials. Also increases were most often just in front of elections. Go figure how that is possible...
That's what I heard from multiple people who were saying that old players were e-mailed by eRepublik advertising the game to them and for them to check it out which explains why it wasn't just NL but many countries throughout eRepublik that had a sudden growth in population. Australia went from about 600 and spiked up toward 1000 citizens and it has dropped back down since back to 600. Same thing happened to us and to others.
Could be Lancer. All I know is someone stated he mailed several himself due to which his party sky-rocketed and now is falling down again. Perhaps it was a combination of both.
nice article voted and subbed
Nice article again. Hope you keep doing this!
Sadly it also shows we have no prospering country at all atm with an even further declining number of active citizens. Contrary to what some gov officials want us to believe as one of the reasons to justify our fighting the last couple of months. It seems it only means less population and also lots of money spend that we don't earn.
Adding the chart of number of active citizens would be a nice addition along with % of voters. I fear that percentage is declining as well.
Check here and compare to other countries like the example of Australia that I mentioned in my other comment: http://www.egov4you.info/country/society/31
Many countries experienced a growth in population and a decline over the past two months as a result of eRepublik reaching out to players that once played the game and many of those players going inactive once again. So yes it is declining but it's simply going back to where it was a couple months ago.
If we would go back to what it was it would be fine. We however at the lowest point since sept '12. Already 10% lower as our previous low. Is that the case with other countries as well? If so it's an eRep problem. Otherwise an eNL problem. Especially if you bare in mind we did have a lot of people returning to eNL and immigrants as well over the past year or so...
