VOTE

maldin how could you do this to us

he was only a congressmen for the first vote and had resigned, strange to keep resigned congressmen in the table in my view

It's a matter of historical record. He was a member on the date of that vote, so his vote has to be shown.

That said I think it shouldn’t be counted that affects the overall party turnout because he’s marked as an abstention for all but one vote, when in actuality the turnout would be higher because there were less congressmen for that party. Same for pirates being dragged down by artela and judas’ resignations

Keith will only exclude people if a member of TUP has quit Congress so not to put a negative on TUP's voting record. In the meantime he'll include the resigned people from other parties.

@Mr Knee proof please in fact we had a member of congress who who quit a few months ago

@JRCS Yes, but not for the future votes... it says "abstain" which suggests they didn't vote, when in reality he COULDN'T vote.

For the *full* data to be clean, Congressmen who resign shouldn't count towards votes after that point.

@Keith you literally ignored the point. A resigned congressman being marked "abstain" skews the final percentages.

It is nice to see that i am 1 of the 10 , out of the 40, that PARTICIPATED in ALL votes.

glad to be another 1 of the 10.

Same here!

Hi Keith,

Nice article my one comment is that recording ‘ABSTAIN’ for people who are no longer congress members is unfair.
Once a congress Member resigns they are not able to vote.

Would be interesting to see the actual results are by active congress members.

maybe the party should be punished for putting up someone who will quit ?

Punish me darling!

Why? Because we're mind-readers and should know that someone will decide to quit a week later?

Its my fault guys

the real spamicans will never recover from this

Down with Mitko!

Is abstention, or even a retirement fro Congress really a BAD thing?

As long as there are sufficient votes to ensure that the basic operation of eUK Government continues to operate, then abstentions make little difference to the outcome of votes.

Out of the 14 votes last term we ha😛

> 9 routine routine transfer of funds from Bank of England to Ministries - not contentious
> 2 Presidential impeachment proposals - which were highly likely to succeed
> 1 Declaration of War - necessary for adjusting the Training War configuration
> 1 Mutual Protection Pact - expanding the breadth of addressable battles
> 1 token vestigial ‘Increase Tax’ proposal initiated by an outgoing member of Congress

All together, not an earth shatteringly interesting month that demanded intense debate - and this was a comparatively ‘busy’ month in Congress

“Highly likely to succeed”
The second was the same as the tax proposal. A rogue vote done on the way out of congress.

UKRP voting for it en masse doesn’t make it highly likely to succeed

Thank you for the typo there - it shout read, 'NOT highly likely to succeed'

Perhaps a bit of wishful thinking?

What I thought to be honest

I’m sorry this term has been so personally horrendous to you ❤️

agreed, all non TRS members should resign forthwith to ensure smooth running of the government

No it's not a bad thing, but when you're talking about data and statistics, accuracy is important. And an abstain is NOT the same as resignation. Abstain means you could vote, but choose not to. Those who resign cannot vote.

They choose to resign.. and therefore to abstain

By that reasoning, choosing not to run for Congress is an abstention, and everyone should be added to the stats.

Except that they are still not the same thing. Ridiculously flawed logic.

I think I echo certain sentiments that have been made recently and in the past...in regards to players who have resigned from congress their non-votes should not be included as abstentions.
