★ Tulip Farella and 
CastoriousBG had completely changed the election result. I put my neck on the line by publishing an article in which I stated that they would and I seriously believed it. But it didn't happen. So, today, instead of writing an article about how these two big names changed the election and took votes from everyone, instead I am writing article about why they didn't despite all of my predictions and previous election trends that has shown it happen before.
What is the Farella Effect?
The Farella Effect was an electoral theory that I had proposed (in all but name) about how the election returns of
★ Tulip Farella and CastoriousBG had changed the election result through their popularity. But it didn't happen. I had expected that the fact that these big names - who did not stand in the last congress election - had returned and always win lots of votes to massively effect the result, but it just didn't and the question is "why not?"
The collapse of the old establishment
One possible solution is that the old establishment is in the process of collapse. Castorious and Tulip are at the very heart of the old establishment, having both been around for years. Castorious was the President about a year and a half ago, and Tulip has been leader of TTP for a very long time. You don't get more establishment than that. Plus
law7441 , the former President and current leader of Rise of UK also lost 2 votes. I, however, gained 2 and became the most voted for candidate, with a majority of 3 - and I am the very opposite of the establishment. Other newer players also did well, with 
Pathogen and 
Bennaglia , both new candidates, both having 3 and 2 votes respectively, both defeating Castorious. This systematic rise of newer candidates and collapse of older, more established candidates does point towards Castorious and Tulip being victims of a silent revolution against the old establishment. All trends show that there is a big change going on, as older players go inactive, and Britain is slowly taken over by newer players, voting for other newer players.
Victims of the low turnout
I will later be looking in to the reasons behind the low turn out in a full article, but right now I just want to touch on the actual consequences of the low turnout. If we assume that newer players vote for other newer players, we can see that the majority of active voters are newer players, which means that the big losers from low turnout is older players because it seems to be older players that aren't active and aren't voting, which does sort of explain the collapse of the establishment (above) and they could be intrinsically linked, or it could be a coincidence - but it does seem to me that less older players are voting to keep the older established politicians.
They have become irrelevant
They say that
With age, comes irrelevanceand it is entirely feasible that that is the fate becoming some of our older, more established politicians. The fact that they are so established, makes them less relevant, less important and less connected to newer players because they are not of the same era or the same ideas or the same politics. They are becoming victims of a fundamental shift towards newer players and newer politics - a shift from which TPP is benefiting most, due to the higher number of newer members joining TPP than Rise of UK. A new era is coming and older politicians are falling victim.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
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.
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.
