Hello,
Well we can't really say it was an election victory but we can say that our recent growth as a party has had its effects on the way the election went for us.
Last month we were sitting on 44 votes and were able to bring back three congressmen. This month we were able to gain 14 votes and bring back an extra congressman despite this month's congress race being more competitive than usual. This was our most successful election since June!
I'd like to say well done to UKPP for becoming the largest party in congress. I'd also like to say well done to ESO who were able to increase their vote count, although with a little bit of help from PCP.
Finally, I want to say thank you to everyone who voted for the UKRP in yesterday's election! Your support means a lot and we really do appreciate it.
🙂

Election Statistics
Votes
There was a massive increase in the number of votes in yesterday's election, with an overall increase of 17.5% from 560 votes to 658. However, despite this increase, The Unity Party and New Era both lost votes from last month's election, with TUP losing around 7% of it's vote base and New Era losing around 5%. The UKRP, ESO and the UKPP on the other hand saw vote percentage gains of well over 20%, with UKPP increasing its number of votes by 60%, ESO by 45% and UKRP by 30%.
As for party attendance in the election, 62% of UKPP turned up to vote, 62% of TUP, 85% of New Era and 71% of the UKRP. Please note that all parties will have received some degree of external voting. ESO is curious this month as a result of PCP support. With that not in mind, 101% of their party attended. ESO's membership combined with PCP's membership gives them a 71% participation.
If we average out the party activity among everyone except ESO, then 70% of the top 5 participated. This would suggest that the number of votes by ESO members will have been around 84, give or take. That's just a theory though.

At 6 o'clock erep time, after the voting count had finished, the only party to lose votes was the UKPP. They lost 2 votes. It did not change the result.

Purple is UKRP, green is ESO, yellow is New Era, red is TUP and blue is UKPP
This was ESO's most successful election in terms of votes since August and it was the UKPP's most successful election ever.
Seats
At daychange, there were only two seats that were up for contention pending the results of the multi count. Those two seats went to the UKRP and to TUP.
UKPP - 11 seats
TUP - 10 seats
NE - 8 seats
ESO - 5 seats
UKRP - 4 seats
PCP - 2 seats

Political compass
I only asked this last night to add on to our survey earlier this week but this is the result of some UKRP members on the political compass:

The political compass website isn't terribly accurate, nor is it inaccurate but still. That's our members so far

Great article, congratulations on your increase in votes! 🙂
Voted!
I agree the political compass isn't the best 😛 (but still worthwhile) so here's mine

Added : D
I should note that it's copy and paste rather than just clicking on the link, since clicking apparently makes me more authoritarian than i would be comfortable with lol
Thanks, i was going to suggest someone do the effort to make it like the ESO one, but it's good to see you already had!
And subbed by the way 🙂

Dontcha?

New Era had the PCP vote last month, this month ESO out bidded us for that. This explains the fall in seats/votes for New Era as PCP have enough voters for 2 congressmen.
We got 10 last month but if you subtract PCP that means that we got 8 on our own. Since we got 8 this month, the New Era vote actually stayed steady.
Since New Era is worth 7 seats going by party membership, getting 8 is a good result!
nice article
for a centre right party a lot of our members are to the left
mfw we are actually a left wing party.
Pretty good turnout! Thanks Thomas
Voted. : )
The political compass is biased and rigged and has silly questions.
But well done this month! Onwards and upwards!

On an electoral note, how did the UK get 18% more voters with 3% more people? It's not like last month was inactive.
I think ESO can be very proud of its turnout this election, even if we only came 4th in the overall standings. I wonder how many votes we gained from members of other parties who wanted to knock New Era down another spot?
Anyway, nice read. I see UKRP's political compass is a lot more diverse than ours.
MFW all the Tories are in ESO and all the lefties are in UKRP's socialist echelons
Vote
~o~
im alone there 🙁 is not fair!
