"So, congrats to the IFM, the UZP, and all of the other parties on their Congress seats. But most of all, congratulations to the Consolidation and our Congress members. You all deserve it." -SoulSalvage

The recent congress elections had some interesting results. What was especially surprising to some, including myself, was that Consolidation had the highest percentage of congress seats in the lower four parties despite having the second lowest/lowest membership count. Additionally, despite having 25 members, Consolidation party candidates received approximately 41 votes. To celebrate his party's massive success in the elections, the Party President of Consolidation (SoulSalvage) released an article ironically titled 'Bragging Rights' to say that 8 of the nine Consolidation candidates had been elected, an impressive percentage. What's ironic about it, you ask? The Consolidation Party President, SoulSalvage, and the Consolidation organization, Consolidation Party Treasury, have both been permanently banned for multi-accounts. So, to conclude, let's take a look at the facts.
-Consolidation Party, Israel's fourth largest party, received the second highest number of congress seats.
-8 of the 9 people Consolidation ran were elected, an incredibly high success rate.
-Consolidation Party, which has 25 members, received approximately 41 votes.
-eRep admins have lately been cracking down on multi accounts in Israel and removing them.
-Within a day or two of the end of the elections, the Consolidation Party President and party organization were both perma-banned for multi accounts.
What can we conclude here? I'll leave that to you.
One thing I will say for sure: The Knesset election of May 2010 was not a fair one.

voted I was not aware of any of this when I wrote my Article.
:'(
Sorry I couldn't help. Perhaps next term.
lol .. and now they had a 6-hour review time after the end of the election, but they just banned the org, didnt take back the votes..
where is this helping fairness?
also it seems to me that aeroner ( now cp candidate ) was the most active user of the banned org. what does he have to say about this?
all i can say is ... laugh hard . they are so pathetic .
how does an org get banned for multis
The org was being donated to to fund our new party company. We've been using that org for several months for a party newspaper. I think the Admins were suspicious because the org got 5 or 6 gold donations within the span of only a few days. I'm sure this is a mistake, everyone I've associated with in my time in the party has been of the highest caliber. I can't imagine why Soul would get banned outside of an admin mix-up.
Here's the thing Jewyoyo, admins have made mistakes before. This is likely one of them. Before you go implying this sort of bullshit, it's best to sit back and wait a while to see what happens first--most likely, Soul's account will be re-examined and given back to him.
As for those extra votes ("Consolidation Party, which has 25 members, received approximately 41 votes."😉 Last time I ran for congress, I recieved votes from those within the party, and from those outside of the party (mainly from outside). Not everyone votes for their own party. Hell, I'm pretty sure YOU don't.
I know you're not trying to start anything, but these clearly implied accusations have no proof. Let's just wait and see before we start a dodgy smear campaign.
I'll always be on the side of truth, but the truth just isn't clear yet. You jumped the gun on this one.
Oh goody, its "Lets Smear Consolidation" time again. Silly me; I forgot my party hat.
Did you ever think to consider, Jewyoyo, that maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can be successful when we work together? How about instead of smearing success when it happens, embracing it?
Sure, the circumstances around Soul's ban are suspicious, but I know Soul better than anyone here in eRepublik. He's not the kind of person who would cheat to get what he wants.
I thought highly of you, Jewyoyo. Don't make the stupid move and imply accusations without any clear cut evidence.
And Bailey, the only sincere vote you had was your own.
*awaits rush of Bailey's multis to defend him*
I'm not going to smear Consolidation, just SS personally. Matanb showed me an...interesting article about him a few days ago, written by a Phillipino stating that SS, as VP of the Philippines, stole several organisations and companies from the Philippine government. Who knows what he got up to.
As for the vote count, yeah its easy to get some people not in parties to vote for you. IFM had 1 or 2 like that. I think Jewyoyo was just suspicious as its a well known fact that there's a lot of dead weight in Israeli parties, making it difficult to get full turnouts.
That said, If there WERE multi votes, the 6 hour vetting process would have found them, or at least some of them. We can therefore conclude that the campaign itself was on the level.
I don't want to be the new Party President 🙁 I was feeling good with my retirement
I read about that too, Blane. It was a gesture to ensure that the Philippine government would establish contracts for their organizations to prevent that from happening. It was underhanded, sure, but hey, it got the job done. After that, he left ePhilippines so that they could cool off, and upon returning he was practically given a hero's welcome.
As far as I remember, during that election period, he was only appointed to VP, and that was as far as he went.
very nice article... and i suppose no other party in this country has won because of multi accounts.
נחמד...
