New congress elections are NOT British!

Day 1,772, 00:40 • Published in United Kingdom Netherlands

• by james janeway

As we all know the congress elections are changed. No longer we can vote for players. We can only vote parties.
I do not think that is progress.
Why not?

A. In the first place this is not British. Why have we - in the U.K. - to follow a German system?

B. In the second place: the Party President gets to much influence. If he doesnt like one of the good players in his party, he can give him a low place on the list. And the voters can not correct him anylonger!

For example: the party leader of the UKPP, Dannyboy, dropped me from the list a few ours before elections. He can do what he wants, but i do not think this is the way we have to treat a loyal member.

C. We do not know how many supporters a MP has. Players without any support can become MP now.

For sure it is not a RL British system. It is not a German RL system either. In Germany you can vote on a list, but you have a second vote on persons.
We have to follow the eRepublik system. The admins do not give countries a choice for their own desired (or not) election system.
You are right about the party president, he has got much power in this new system. We have to deal with this, party presidential elections are far more important now.

The partypresident can become a kind of dictator. That is a problem..

Yes, yes we understand you are pissed at being dropped....

How can the party president be a dictator? Every month the PP is democratically elected via a British first past the post system...
