The July Congressional Election has come to an end and the results have been revealed, defying all of my predictions and perceived trends. They are as follows:
Parties:
The Peoples Party - 17 - 65%
Rise of UK - 4 - 15%
United Front - 3 - 12%
British-Turkish Brotherhood Party - 1 - 4%
Bobjob's Party Time - 1 - 4%
The run up to this election was exciting and fascinating but the results were even more so, with very well accepted predictions and trends being defied by the British electorate. The biggest shock of the evening was the lack of an effect that the returns of ★ Tulip Farella and CastoriousBG had. I had predicted them both changing the election result massively and gaining either 6 or 7 votes each, due to their well known status and popularity, but this did not materialize, and instead, I ended up gaining 2 votes (something which shocked me) and becoming to the most voted for candidate instead of losing 2 or 3 to Tulip and Castorious.
Another shock of the election was the vast majority of The People's Party, who achieved a whopping 65% of all votes cast, despite the surprisingly low turnout of 60% of all eligible voters (26 votes out of a potential 43). The scale of TPP's victory had been predicted to be between 13-17 votes, but I'd expected it to be 15 votes, and for most of those to be won by Tulip and Castorious - something which defied all expectations.
Another exciting narrative of this election was the tight battle between United Front and Rise of UK, and in the end it was as thrilling as expected, with Rise of UK defeating United Front by just 1 vote, on 4 votes to 3.
It was a great personal shock for me to have received the most votes (6) of any candidate, and an overall vote share of 23%. I had expected to come 4th or 5th, with 3 or 4 votes, well behind Tulip and Castorious, but that did not happen thanks to the amazing support of the British people and I want to thank all who voted for me. This month, I want to be the true voice of the people. If you did not stand for election but you want your voice to be heard by me and by congress, then please message me at any time so that I can fulfill my duty and I will also actively seek the views of Britain.
Later today (after I've slept off the surprise of this riveting and shocking election) I shall be analyzing the election in great detail, in 3 articles, 1 on the future of Rise of UK, 1 on the non-effect of the return of two huge names in UK Politics (Tulip and Castorious) and 1 on the low election turnout, so please keep an eye out for them.
Thank you to everyone who voted for me and supported my cause for giving the people a voice - you have really made your mark on the British establishment today and shown them that you demand representation and thanks everyone for following this election with The Socialist Democratic Times - but as I say, the analysis and fun isn't over, and will continue once I have slept.
Thank you all and good night!

In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth.
Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit
different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be
efficiently
managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation.
Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the
game.
Work for the good of your country and
see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules.
First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you
will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress
as a fighter.
You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which
are owned by the state.
After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your
own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock
company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics
in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes.
From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability
to run for the head of the party you're in.
You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws
proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself.
Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you.
You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential
elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state
(for example, who to declare war on).
Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have
a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military.
In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control
over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials.
For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have
to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on
their territory.
You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life
as a pacifist
who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling
products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game.
It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present
in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth
according to their own.
So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
