(Political module update) Congress Elections
Rilindasi
Starting with the 25th of September the 2012, the citizens will vote for a Party instead of voting a citizen from a specific party.
The members of the party will candidate with the same rules as now to the congress elections, but they will participate in the elections on the party list.
The party president will now see all the possible candidates in a single list for the all the country's regions.
The parties that are in top 5 on every 24th of the month at 00:00 will be the ones able to have Congress candidates.
The party president will choose the candidates on 24th of the month in the following manner:
Every party can propose a maximum number of candidates equal to the maximum number of Congress seats in that country.
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 on the 24th, 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.
FOR EXMAPLE:
Party X 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 will get 50 votes from a total of 100 votes, the party gets 50% of the total votes. As a result, the first 5 candidates on this list will join the Congress.
If the party had only 4 candidates then all will join the Congress but one seat will remain unoccupied and the country will remain with one less congress for that month.

elections must be secret voting. it is big mistake
and the source? 😃
What a dreadful idea.
If this is true I find it funny!
"The parties that are in top 5 on every 24th of the month at 00:00 will be the ones able to have Congress candidates." We only have 5 parties!
"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." So if someone became a candidate and it's known that in the previous months he didn't do anything he'd still get in?!
I'm not liking these changes🙁
"If the party had only 4 candidates then all will join the Congress but one seat will remain unoccupied and the country will remain with one less congress for that month." Since we now have to give half of the gold away for the sake of NL, NL will be missing out on some gold if this happens..
I think that problem will be solved by people who want to get the medal and easy gold and change to a party which still has a congress seat.
You need good Party Presidents. They will choose good congressmembers
I think the 5 parties rule is more for big ass countries like Poland.. But this is really how it's gonna be from now on? xD They couldn't put their effort in trying to fix the economy???
This system starts the 25th so this congress elections are the regular way.
@Gwom: Next elections for congress are the 25th of September
So the elections next Tuesday are the new way.
@Shibitah: If a PP wants to make sure some people cannot be elected, he can now move them down on the list. So PTO threats, and inactive candidates can now be more easily put aside. With the old system, they could get votes from friends, and get into congress.
@Shibitah (cont.) The only way things go wrong is if a big party has a low number of candidates. Seats will be wasted and unwanted people elected. So during elections, maybe PPs will campaign to please vote for other parties?? Or simply all members should candidate, and tell the PP to put them at the bottom of the list, so they won't (normally) be elected. If they are then elected, it will be better for the eNL than when an empty seat is formed.
