Dear countrymen,
Another elections has passed and the results are in!
There is a total number of 304 votes, this low number could be related to christmas.
Party - Seats - percentage of seats - total votes - percentage of total votes
I&W - 14 seats - 35% - 77 votes - 25%
LSD - 8 seats - 20% - 66 votes - 22%
BP - 10 seats - 25% - 83 votes - 27%
GLD - 6 seats - 15% - 37 votes - 12%
LP - 2 seat - 5% - 19 votes - 0.6%
That makes the following coalitions possible:
I&W+LSD= 22 seats
I&W+BP=24 seats
I&W+GLD(+LP)=20(22) seats
LSD+BP+LP/GLD =20/24 seats
And, ofcourse, other combinations based on these coalitions.
If we look at vote efficiency we see that only I&W and GLD have a higher percentage of seats then votes. I&W seems to rule our union at vote efficiency, with 25% of the votes and 35% of the seats they may be proud!
Now, lets look at the number of votes and the number of members a party has:
BP - 83 votes - 135 members - 61.5% members-vote percentage
I&W - 77 votes - 93 members - 83% members-vote percentage
LSD - 66 votes - 112 members - 59% members-vote percentage
GLD - 37 votes - 58 members - 63% members-vote percentage
LP - 19 votes - 32 members - 59% members-vote percentage
No party has more votes then members, this may also be because of christmas. Still I&W seems to have the most active members while LP, BP and LSD (~60😵
seem to have the least active members.
In the elections all parties got the same number of seats as last elections, with the exeption of I&W stealing one seat from BP.
And here is Capzilla's fine article about the elections.

Voted off course !!
congratz everyone! 🙂
Nice article.
Please check your percentages it is not good now. LP must be around 6, but the 5 parties getting 92% is a bit strange. 8% votes not valid?
Conclusion that I&W has the most active members can be wrong too. There are also non party members. I think these will vote for a party that has a good program. But when I&W has the most active members (I think they do) they did not attract much of the non members in that case.
Congrats to I&W and the other parties in the government (GLD and LP). With 133 votes they won 22 seats against opposition (BP and LSD) who got 149 votes and 18 seats.
Well, there are few voters that are not in parties...
And you are right, I rounded the percentages off, also you would get 15.58%
The members-vote-percentage for LSD is wrong. (66/112)*100 = 59%
I want to congrats I&W with their victory!
BP members have difficulties to be active as 66% of them are out of the United Netherlands... 🙂
Congratulations to all parties and to all congressmembers ! Especially to the new ones !
"while LP and BP seem to have the least active members."
If you numbers are correct, it's LP and LSD.
For the rest, VERY GOOD BP result! With less than the half of BP voters, with very few Tactical vote, this result are great!
Perhaps the LSD members have a life on chrismass 😛 lol. Congratz on winning the elections I&W!
+1 Slivever
"There is a total number of 304 votes, this low number could be related to christmas"
There is a total number of 282 votes 😉
Dylan Verstraete you found why the percentage of votes are in total (when adjusted the 0.6% of LP to 6😵 92%.
Worrying is that now the total votes were 282 % presence 35.03%, as one month ago it was 346 votes and presence 39.36%.
Presence down by 4%, total votes down by 19.5%. Sadly this can not be only Christmas. I think dying citizens and emigration (with taken other citizenship) are more important. And we must not forget we got more Dutch citizenships because people did away their Belgian citizenship and took Dutch citizenship.
I&W rocks the vote again. Our activity is our strength!
