The IUP has Surged

The Irish Union Party which had only about 10 members on election day have now surged to 28 ! These new members are in part due to a CN alliance coming to Ireland but mostly due to a recent flux of immigrants and new citizens with IUP and FF benifiting the most from it. Since the IUP was just formed it is still; very active and fresh and I am sure everyone will see our new muscles flexing in the local elections.
I am also eager to see the effects of the new members on FF since they have been steadily losing members for weeks now. Perhaps FF will reassert its position as the top opposition party or maybe IUP will continue to surge and beat out FF for the second spot.
The at the top of the Irish political structure is of course Ireland First. They recieved all the italian immigrants I believe which helped boost them but I am not sure of the activity rates but with 62 members they are still dominating. However, for the first time if you combine all of the opposition parties together their combined membership exceeds that of IF. With a possible coalition having 64 members agaisnt IF's 62. The coalition stalled last election because of lack of timebut the numbers demonstrate any coalition would very powerful

It is nice to have all these Party Join alerts. Thing is folks I haven\'t got started yet. Of course I have to wait till after Party Elections because if I campaign now and lose the Presidents seat it\'d look rather silly. 😛
Cool ! Ireland seems to be doing rather well out of CN - which alliance joined or is that seekrit ?
I dont know if they told me. They did know of BAPS though
Since writing this IUP now has 30 members
everyone in CN seem to know of BAPS since the \"BAPS war\". Altough the name I prefer is \"You\'re doing it wrong war\"
most of the new arrivals the last few days are from United Sovereign Nations alliance in Cybernations, myself included. Don\'t worry, from what i\'ve been reading, we are not going to impose our views as a bloc on any of you. We are all individuals who will not try to suddenly uproot the political landscape of the republic.
