History Is Made

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Congressional elections. A desire to better ones country is truly an admirable thing, and I believe that was the primary motivator for congressional candidates. Congratulations to Franz Kafka, who once again broke 20 votes. This reflects the trust that many, many Israeli citizens have for him. Kafka, I am honored to be working alongside you in the Knesset. Congratulations to the IWP, CP, SDP, and INM parties for their efforts this election.
The newest of Israel's established parties, the United Zionist Socialist Party (UZSP), garnered %30 of the votes despite being comprised of only %10 of the population (CIN Election Report). The UZSP also received 48 votes despite only having 35 members (Zaib Atsu's Report). This shows both the activeness and organization of the UZSP and the trust that many non-UZSP members have in our candidates. My fellow congress members in the UZSP and myself understand the implicit responsibility that goes along with such trust. We will do our absolute best to help Israel become a stronger country. Citizens of Israel, we will not let you down.
History has been made. For the second time in modern eIsraeli history, the Israeli Workers' Party is not the most represented party in congress. Now one of the newest parties has the most congress members; this is a testament to the fluid and changing political landscape in Israel.
The last and most important congratulations goes to Hyman Roth, UZSP party president. His devotion to the party inspired me and many others to take a more active role in national and party politics. He had endless work organizing for the elections, recruiting, and writing our Manifesto (which is much more than a political platform). Most importantly, he turned the UZSP into something larger than a political party. He turned it into a community. With out Roth none of this would have been possible. I salute you and thank you, Hyman Roth, for all the hard work you have done. As you can see, it has certainly paid off.
My friends and brothers in the UZSP, I'm proud of and thankful for all of you.
Ezekiel Ben-Or, thank you for showing me the UZSP and for being Hyman's right hand man.

win.
congrats jewyoyo!
That is very concerning... If they actually want to improve Israel then I guess its not that bad, but if they're in it for the badge and the gold then we definitely need to do something.
As my article also shows, the Coalition has the most knesset members, and no one group has a majority, the Coalition has 38% and UZSP has 30%, neither of which are a majority (51%+)
Secondly, if you want to show that what this was, was organization, and not just an individual popularity contest, please start doing things to help Israel as a Party.
The UZSP has the most Knesset members out of any individual party, this is a fact. And yes, my use of the word majority was erroneous, I'll be sure to edit it.
How do you explain a party of 35 people getting 48 votes as organization? And yes, I am cheering for my party. I'm not afraid to admit it. A few weeks ago we had less than 20 members, today we have the most Knesset members out of any party. For me at least it is something that I am quite proud of and I am simply expressing this through my newspaper.
History will be made, if you will be able to acomplish something for this country. Untill then you are just a bunch of twoclickers who got to congress, because eIsrael has more seats in congress than active players.
I think it is needless to say that we are not a 'bunch of two clickers'. Thanks anyway for your unfounded criticism.
Prove it, prove that you are able to change things and after this you can write such articles. For now it is not your win, it is just an epic fail of IWP/INM and in particular of FK.
A fine article Jewyoyo. Your enthusiasm and dedication to the party is much appreciated. Listen not to the jibes and sneers of our detractors. We shall prove them wrong!
I can write such articles thanking my friends for their hard work whenever I see fit, Elezaar. It is a victory, and even if we had only %10 of the Knesset seats I would still see it as one.
@Jewyoyo: Thank you kindly. You and all the party members were much more important than I. This was a collective statement that surpassed our expectations.
@ Franz: Indeed, this in to be of concern.
@ Aaron / Elezaar : Subtle, or overt, disparagement aside, you seem to cling to stale judgements before we've even had a second to act. I ask you to reserve your judgements and welcome a collection of players who remain, even in the face of your disregard, committed to working with ALL of you to make Israel as dynamic a success as she can be. We won't play the bitter games of reversing the lens either, but ask only that you contribute to a better tomorrow.
We believe our first proposal, the Multi-Partisan Israeli Aid For Immigrants Program (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/announcing-the-israeli-aid-for-immigrants-program-1002825/1/20#comments ) is a small first step in our efforts. Hopefully we can all agree to be constructive at this point.
It is indeed the second time.
Likud won under the party president Jeff Sullivan.
Thanks JMatH, I fixed it.
Wow Elazzar. Capable only of mudslinging hmm? I know that the UZSP members selected to run in the Knesset were chosen for dedication and ACTIVITY. Look for facts before trolling simply because you disagree with us.
I'm happy and excited to be a part of this party. Congrats to all who won.
Great job guys. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with 30% of congress.
@SVV and others
1. I do not troll, I just always have my own opinion and do not afraid of making it loud. But maybe ill start, cooperate with 00345 or whatever his name is and make our own palestinian party just for lulz.
2. Since 2 monats every new party tals about some changes, unity, democracy and about having "your voice heard". Goddamn, please, show me these people who opressing you. You talking about unity, but i do not see any.
3. Looking at your Manifestoes, i see no aim and no understanding of game mechanics, looking at what you have done untill this moment and what you talking all time, make me feel that nothing will change.
4. YOU ARE TOO BOOOOOOORING FOR THIS GAME, you taking all too serious, poor Jewyoyo even deleted me from his friend´s list. Why Emirick is so popular? He is goddamn entertaining and you are NOT. Without fun you will not get new players, without new players you will not get anything. IT IS HOW THIS GAME WORKS.
It's a heady time in our party history! There's so much positive feeling among members I could hug a tree! The challenge that lies ahead is to convert this energy into tangible achievements in the diplomatic, economic and demographic domains. I think we are up to it.
Elezaar. I suggest you show us the way instead of belittling our achievement. Much as I liked it at first your Walt Kowalski -aka the bitter, humourless curmudgeon - impression is beginning to wear thin 😉
You know, despite the mudslinging, Elezaar does have a point: simply having the majority in the Knesset does not really account for much. You also need to be willing and able to work with the other members, because while you are well represented on your own, you do only account for 3/10 of congress. The CP-SDP coalition does hold the majority.
I'm not saying this to start shit, I'm just pointing things out.
History is made because this party is brand new and we are the single largest party with congressman. It's quite an achievement for such a young party.

Elezaar: About the manifesto. We who wrote it don't need to explain the game mechanics it we already understand them.
"Great job guys. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with 30% of congress. "
-The shiny red button!!Mwahahaha...j/k great work guys.
@Elezaar, don't worry about the serious fools. They think theyre actually real politicians and not just gamers... They called me an idiot when I told them they need to have more war to spice up the game. Hope they enjoy the death of their country because it is boring and thus it may very well die...
@Dimitar: If you are referring to us then you are sorely mistaken. Hell I deploy the IDF all the time to support our allies.
