Why YOUR Vote Counts
•
by Hassan Pesaran
With the General Election only 2 days away, it is becoming increasingly important for citizens to be using their vote wisely. This election proves to be a close one, with three very solid candidates and varied parties. Elections often come down to the wire, with only 5 or so votes separating the candidates. This means that you're vote DOES count every much as the next person.
The most powerful tool you have when you start out in eRepublik is your vote. Your vote has the ability to change nations and leaders. Unlike IRL, where thousands of votes are counted, in eRepublik just a few hundred votes come into play. This emphasises that every single vote can make a difference. A vote is not something to be used frivilously, however, and you should consider who best deserves your vote. Read the manifestos and learn something about the party or leader you are voting for and how it will affect you.
A leader can make a big difference, especially in a superbly organised country such as the eUK. So when you look over the candidates, they will not be all the same. Once again, look into the candidates and what they have acheived, and plan to achieve, if they are elected as President.
The Party Manifestos can be found here:

Bah, vote UKRP. Why? We\'re the best. 😛
Best. Article. Ever.
Why? Because people need to read manifestoes! Very important!
All the same, vote PCP - we\'re clearly better than the UKRP, who are apparently the best. So that makes us the bestEST.
As well as reading the manifestos, voters should also consider the party\'s form: there\'s no point in even considering the manifesto commitments of parties that cannot be trusted, or that have frankly had long enough to make a difference and have failed.
For example: New Labour could probably promise to give everyone a bar of gold in their manifesto, and the Tories will still form the next government.

So true!!!
\"As well as reading the manifestos, voters should also consider the party\'s form: there\'s no point in even considering the manifesto commitments of parties that cannot be trusted, or that have frankly had long enough to make a difference and have failed.\"
So would now be an apt time to point out that PCP have stuck by their core ideas, and that UKRP have rely really had any cleary defined views and just bop between what suits them in each election.
OR you could look to a leader who\'s been online more than once in the last ten days (sorry, had to toss one out there) 😛

Quite: there are lots of factors to take into account, even if you do believe the manifestos.
Lol @ Dish, trust me PCP has always delivered on it\'s manifesto\'s promises and we always will do, whether you like the manifesto or not is your personal opinion.
Oh and vote PCP 😉

It\'s the extras that aren\'t mentioned in the manifestos that I worry about: like the unannounced \"Social Responsibility Contract\".
It wasn\'t unannounce at all
And you\'ve point out what you see wrong with it (or at least in a substantiated way anyways)
William, it was in the manifesto, simple. Oh and a party can\'t write everything down they will do in the next term in their manifesto as situations and ideas change for god\'s sake.
