In case you live under a rock, or, you don't look at party rankings/are oblivious to the general jubilation and fireworks coming from The Unity House, then you would know that The Unity Party has, since the 19th March 2013 reached the number 1 spot - again - a great result which has been due to hard work, persistence and an internal strengthening of the party.
We reluctantly vacated this spot in November 2012 to The UKPP, an up and coming party, under the leadership of Lady Macbeth II suffering several months of decline which has seen the party tighten up internally and come back, I am pleased to say, stronger than before and more aware of what we need to do in the service of the people of this country.
At the time of our fall from the number 1 slot many declared the 'end of an era' and that 'the New Era is upon us'. But we are back. We are number 1. And we are stronger now than we were when we lost the top spot.
The Unity Party has continuously worked to maintain good policies for the UK in order to benefit both our fellow citizens and to work in the best interests of our shared nation. We invest in both our young and old members, using those of us with experience to mentor and educate those with less experience as well as working to provide them with that experience wherever we can.
We have seen a large number of young citizens earn experience in Congress receiving education on the various law proposals as well as the implications that come from voting a certain way. We believe that this education works in raising up Congress members who can help the government of the day to navigate our nation throughout the ever-changing nature of the new world.
Talon Karrde has launched an initiative for the party to release a definitive set of policies that our party collectively backs at this time for you all to examine to your hearts content. This is scheduled to be published after the Congressional elections this month.
So, if any of this appeals to you and you wishto be a member of our great party, to get involved, then please go ahead an

Unity is Strength!

Unity in Strength!
Well done to everyone at TUP! Voted! o7
UKPP were 'up and coming' many many moons ago... We had been the 2nd biggest party since I started back in early 2012 apart from a few months during the summer in which ESO were able to sneak into 2nd spot.
Other then that, congratulations.
UKPP have lost members at a far greater rate than TUP so they have gained number one whilst both are in decline. To try and claim a victory in light of this ignores a long term issue.
to be fair to TUP, we were at 200 members around 3 weeks ago. Now we are at 248... I would say our decline in numbers has, for the moment, halted. We also got 51% voting in the PP elections compared to 30% for UKPP in the last 2 months, thats despite growth in our party. Which implies we have over 50% high enough activity rate that we have voters for the elections.
We have not ignored the issue, and I would argue that TUP has been working on this issue under Iain's PP term and continuing into Talons, we have been more active behind the scenes in the party this last month than we were visible in the media. This is something that can only be reflected in the large numbers of people who have actually spoken to the PP running for congress rather than merely clicking 'Run'.
So, yea, there is always decline, but, we have been focusing on both retention and recruitment recently. It took us almost 3 weeks of Iain focusing on retention to actually slow down the slide and then halt it. Then it was a matter of building on that. We actually hit 298/297 around congress time (we looked bigger due to the 4 congress members from other parties running with us).
Yeah this- we were in decline and have worked our butts off not to be; it is very much a victory.

whoops, I meant 198/197...
This is the peak, right now. And it will keep getting higher too- numbers are not the end but rather the means to the end; of creating good policy and having the support to bring it to fruition.
The point I was trying to make is that the numbers could be misleading. I have the same reservations about New Era's main goal of becoming the top party.
As a top 5 party you're always going to take in a large volume of new players. You could potentially reap in 50 players, 49 of who become in active but you could say '50 new players, it's working well'.
I'd like to see the deep statistics. Who came in, who left, what percentage of those that remained/left are still active. That's the measure of successful retention.
More focus on individuals rather than numbers. To me the party numbers, on the surface, only tell you who gets the congress spots.
(prev comment deleted due to taking into account 298 rather than 19😎
Cptchazbeard , New era doesnt recruit like that no more , you only end up playing catch up like you say you can get 50 members but none are real in 30 days there dead , swings and roundabouts 🙂
Congratulations in getting to number 1 again, and thank you for the kind offer with regards to congress...the guys at IA overwhelmingly backed that offer O7
Thanks, and yay to have you running with us again! I told Talon he better give you a prio slot otherwise I would join in the bricking!
Go TUP! Don't tell anyone that I'm a secret TUP spy infiltrating UKRP's membership... shhh
Strength and Honour
This is more due to UKPP decline as they had 280 members the other week, but TUP have recruited another 40 in the last weeks , well done ,
Hey, don't denigrate us rock-dwellers, we knew all about this!
Seriously though, grats guys O7
The eUK has been invaded - well done! This party is rubbish and a failure.
