Prompted by a comment from Sir Jimmy Savile on the ESO party feed, I decided to have a quick peak at activity levels across the eUK’s top parties.
What I found wasn’t good.
First, let’s have a look at each party’s feed and see how active it is, paying particular attention to how many messages are on the feed and how old the last one is...
I was shocked to see that three of the top five parties have feeds that are so inactive there are still messages on there from two months ago. When did that start happening? (Clue - at least two months ago it seems).
In ESO, we start getting twitchy when we break Mr Immanuel Kant’s 24 hour rule, and a six-day-old feed is terrible. But two months?!
So, given the surprising levels of inactivity (combined with my unnatural and slightly seedy love of spreadsheets) I decided to delve a bit deeper…
Top parties by rank
Top parties by how old their feed messages are
Top parties by the completely made-up Activity Index
Some of the stuff here is very revealing. Parties by rank is simple enough - UKRP are currently top, ahead of TUP. They seem to swap positions every now and then. ESO are way out of it in sixth.
But how active a party is (measured by how old its feed is) shows a completely different story. ESO are miles ahead of UKRP, with WRP a distant third. The other three parties are a very long way behind.
Perhaps most revealing of all is the totally made-up Activity Index, which multiples number of party members by age of feed in days, to give a single number. The lower that number, the more active a party’s members are. Although the results are similar to the simple activity table, there’s a huge drop-off between fourth and fifth positions. It also highlights how different the results are for the top three.
Here’s another way of looking at it. In the following chart the shorter the red bar, the more active the party. While the longer the blue bar, the more party members they have…
So what can we conclude from all this? Well, it’s pretty simple really:
1. If you want to be in a truly active party, join ESO!
2. If you want to be in a big party that isn’t completely dead, join UKRP
2. If you want to be in a big party that isn’t completely dead, join UKRP
As if you didn’t know that the whole point of this article was to deliver that conclusion
😉
Carlton doesn't exist, but if he did he'd join ESO.

Traditionally this is the point at which UKRP offer ESO a spam war.
Which they then lose.
Embarrassingly.
UKRP's response: https://media2.giphy.com/media/U0zjzTCmGuUKc/200.gif#3
Is that why you retired?
yeah, but not because of spam wars
vote
I think you will find that the PC has a high activity index (Although I can't be bothered to work it out)
Plus with a growth rate of over 28% in the last week alone the PCP is growing fast!
PCP not PC
1. Can't type name of own party = excluded
2. Obviously not going to highlight a party whose results may look better than ESO's
3. Frix's spam doesn't count.
🙂
1. I had difficulty getting the initials right so there is no way I am going to risk the name of the party!
2. good point!
3. Currently my spam is 3x frix's!
well I love you too comrade
(3.) Is Frix aware of this? He'll be mortified.
yes I am aware of it and no i am not mortified. xd
I can also deduce that the WRP has a good ratio of activity:members as the bar is almost equal, so we are performing average
Can confirm that UKPP is deader than a dead thing.
Black Hand best party - 50% of our members are in Congress!
Just failed in CP bid. Points deducted.
Send me gold o7
Surely if my spam doesnt count, even tho there is no spam then jimmys posts about sex toys shouldn't count. Entirely misleading and dishonest, the PCP do not approve of this evident exploitation of the proletariat
Time to seize the means of production
The memes*
at this point everyone should just join one party
That will cause more arguments than good.
it would cause activity
You said that about the NMU too
and it worked, until congress went and fucked it up a few months later
Join one party, join one MU...maybe we should also join one account?
we dont already?
Well ESO has always been the best party ever, So what did you expect 😛

Join us in ESO. Jimmy will cheer you up.
Uncle Jimmy 😂)
I think the lack of activity that appears to be all pervasive in the eUK is as a result of systemic weaknesses that are being exacerbated by the decline in erep in general - I have little doubt that other countries are in a better state than us, because if they weren't then erep would have stopped functioning by now.
Fundamentally I think one of our biggest problems is that our politicians do not have control over the military and economic strength that exists in the eUK. You can observe this by the fact there are countries with less than half the population of the eUK that are doing way better in terms of the air wars and the fact there are so few big producers in the eUK.
If parties don't speak to members and expect vote, eventually there's nobody left in the party to vote.
I can't remember who is PP certainly never communicated to me in the past month!

A scintillating article with a shocking conclusion, as always. Bravo!
people use party feeds?
1. If you want to be in a truly active party, join ESO!
2. If you want to be in a big party that isn’t completely dead, join UKRP
What a load of bollucks!
Quality trumps quantity - if you want to join a noisy party where members whittle on - then the ESO is for you.
On the other hand - the UKRP always has been about getting on with the business of Government - i the most efficient manner. This is why the UKRP is the largest and most effective Party in eUK!
