Changes to the Political Module

Day 1,765, 14:43 • Published in USA USA • by Jetsmets

Recently the admins updated the eRepublik Congressional Elections wiki page with their plans to change the Political Module. Starting with the 25th of September the 2012, the citizens will vote for a Party instead of voting a citizen from a specific party.

Every party can propose a maximum number of candidates equal to the maximum number of Congress seats in that country. The Party President will set up a national list (instead of a regional one) with all the candidates in the exact order the party president wants them in the Congress. This is very important because the chance to join the Congress is higher for the ones in the top of the list. If the party president does not decide the order before the 25th, the candidates will be on the list based on the rule “first come, first served”. The Party president can only decide the priority order, but he cannot choose to have less official candidates than the maximum number of seats his country has.

Example

Party 1 proposes to its country a list of 10 candidates in a specific order:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J

On the election day, the citizen will not see the list to choose a candidate but he will be in the situation to take an easier decision, to vote for a party. If this party gets 50 votes from a total of 100 votes, the party gets 50% of the total votes. As a result, the candidates A, B, C, D, and E will join the Congress. If the party had only 4 candidates then all will join Congress but one seat will remain unoccupied and the country will remain with one less Congress member for that month.


What you're probably thinking

There was a recent PTO involving a small party which was taken over by Serbians and renamed to the American Freedom Alliance. They are now the number 6 party and made up almost entirely of enemies of the USA. If they get more members and become the number 5 or higher party by the 24th they will let many more enemies of the US into Congress. The Current number 5 Party is the Federalist Party.


So I'm asking you to become a Proud/Horny member of the Federalist Party to help keep out enemies of the USA. Even if you change parties after the 25th it's OK so long as the USA is kept safe.

TL😉R join the Federalist Party to help save the USA from its enemies
