[Congress elections] First look
Janty F
Greetings, citizens of Netherlands,
welcome in the news broadcast, where we will bring you the first look at the results of Congressional elections, and try to bring some totally un-biased opinion*. With that said - this broadcast is sponsored by Home Food Company - a company, which brings you the best food in the Dutch market**.
* as much as happy DemNL member can be
** unless someone else is selling, in which case their food is probably better
The motto of these elections can probably be:
Based on the results, the experts (consulted by Janty F) believe the Congress will look as following:
5 I&W
3 REL
3 VN
2 GPN
In comparison with last elections, 8 more votes appeared in Netherlands, and all parties managed to capitalize on that - except ReL. The self-proclaimed Guardians of Revolution suffered a setback, when they did not manage to improve their result from last elections, and there is a possibility they will even lose one Congress seat. Certainly a hard pill to swallow for their ambitious PP and vPP duo, who will have to think about the possible change of their political strategy.
Another loser of these elections is I&W. Even though they managed to squeeze in one extra vote, they will also lose a seat in the Congress. It is clear their reactionary views are not popular in Netherlands, and the never changing party leadership together with never changing names of Congress candidates shows the party might not be the ideal choice for newer players, who want to experience Dutch politics. Will we see more in-game activity from I&W members, or some change in their thinking, which would bring them closer to the public? It would certainly be a good option to try...
Huge comeback for both of VN and GPN, who are returning to the Congress in full force to change this country for the better. The candidacy of the legendary Weekstrom himself (and it seems he will manage to claim his Congress seat) certainly shows that VN is going to make a huge impact on our political scene, and the nominacy of "forum-existing" candidates from both VN and GPN shows they are ready to make that impact even despite their relations to Forum. It will certainly be interesting to see, how well they will fare during this month.
And in the end - the winner of elections, DemNL. DemNL managed to gather some extra votes, and they will claim 7 Congress seats, just as they did last time, before they gave up one of them for their CP candidate. This time however, they learned from this mistake, and the name of their CP candidate is already known to the public. Together with holding CoC position, DemNL is certainly looking strong, which will help them in pushing through the major reforms. However, the addition of some new faces into their Congress member mix might spice things up, so it will be interesting to follow them as well.
And that is all from our election broadcast. We plan to bring you more political info soon, once the results get confirmed and all Congress members will get to their work.

A celebration of democracy \o/
Thank you for this very neutral, only fact-based and very objective view on the CM elections.
Oops, missed the elections 😐

Its fine to have an opinion about parties and I'm not sure if I disagree with your opinion of mine. However it bothers me a bit that you present it like it's a fact that's backed with statistics. The numbers are too small to make any conclusions and you're either naive or manipulative by implying the entities "new players" and "the public" had any significant influence on this elections.
That being said I do think that Dem is a deserved winner and I think it's a pity ReL's efforts didn't pay out this month.
When you introduce your new members in party leadership or Congress, when your party actually starts to be visible in-game, and when your views will stop being reactionary in contrast with all other parties, I will happily change my opinion, as I will have different facts to back it up 😉
Woops missed some sarcasm regarding the "facts" in my first read through sorry!
"Facts"? Is that another "entity", which is disregarded in I&W Rule Book as not being significant for this country 😉 ?
(that was the only example of sarcasm I used here)
If you do not agree with the state and image of your party, either choose different one, or work inside your party to make it better. Even after 10 years of this game, things can still change 🙂 .
Well, actually I think REL gained 1 or 2 votes as previous elections some VN members did not vote VN but on other parties (REL or maybe also DemNL) as we did not have enough candidates and votes/seats would otherwise be lost.
And due to activity of 2 ReL Congress members, those seats were lost anyway 😃 .
Serious now - we have abandoded the times, when everyone could get into Congress, and seats were lost due to not enough candidates appearing. I hope the current situation will last for a while, as it makes politics more interesting 😉
until the TW has ended and we have 40 seats to fill of course.
TWs are kind of a "necessary evil" though at this stage of the game 😂
Rather two ''dead'' Congres Members (one of which is active in-game) than a few who actively vote against progressive change in the eNetherlands and even support Motion of No Confidences against the members of the most active and effective Government in years. But do not worry: Our elected members will be actively fighting this time around. o7
There is always a plenty of "active" and "progressive" people in DemNL, in case we will want to avoid "dead" Congress members for the future 😉 .
Let's celebrate!
Drops his unused bribes on the floor.. first to collect them (Type collect) might be able to pick them up unnoticed. Just saying that after the celebration party Willem started i might not notice losing 500cc here and there.
Conclusion: TW is bad for Congress activity. Lets end the pointless TW and make some real fun.
Less TWs, less work to do for MoD... does not sound bad!
Maybe some actual Defense instead? 😉
I think the realm is defended quite well, given the fact no enemies are destroying us at this moment.
It makes congress elections more exciting though. there are not enough seats for some parties.
Just say that you want a real war but quit the lies, Congress has been quite active for a nation of our size. I know the truth doesn't always fit the ReL narrative but even this is sad.
Dont get me wrong! I just wat as much active people in Congress as possible, no matter the party. Next to that I prefer real war way over TW. TW is just a economics game.
