I can't tell you how close that actual vote is right now. Earlier today I did a count with the Workers' Vote added in and the UC were ahead by 0.665% I'm not sure what the score is right now but I'm sure it can't be more than a percent or two to any particular faction.

Interesting. Presumably the UC and Anarchists are going to get about the same level of the Workers' Vote because they are both liberal parties. So that would mean that the workers are breaking strongly enough to a socialist faction to overcome nearly 2-1 deficit in the Party Vote.
 
The Cooperationists will likely not be able to draw many of the workers votes to their side, as they are after all a liberal party which plan to arrest the expansion of progressive social reforms and repeal our progressive taxation system.

For this reason I once again implore the more progressively minded Cooperationist voters to change their votes to the German Socialists.
The German Socialists present a moderate intraparty position, peacefully resolving the danger of both Blanque's and Kadon's strains of extremism in a democratic manner, while continuing at a sensible pace the progressive principles this republic was founded on!
Most importantly, the German Socialists have the workers on their side, they are a party of the workers and for the workers.
 
I don't think it's too likely that the UC is a worse vote for moderation then the GS. Consider that the UC is the leader of the Party Vote and their main competitor is another liberal party which is to their right. Right now things are:

33% UC
27% AC
22% MC
18% GS

So in order for an extremist party to win we either need a 6 point swing to the far right or an 11 point swing to the far left due to the workers vote. I don't think a strong right swing is likely. That would mean either A)nobody is voting UC which means tons of votes left for the lefties or B)a strong liberal vote which means the UC is probably gonna do pretty well. A swing left would need to be pretty darn big to close the gap when you consider that some people are still going to be voting socialist.

If the GS is going to get enough vote to be more viable then the UC, it probably means that the extremists are losing the workers vote pretty handily and we have nothing to worry about. If the GS does well enough to be viable, at least 40% of the vote needed for a narrow plurality, the UC is only going to need around 15% of the vote to beat out the extremist parties anyway. The argument for GS being better vote choice then UC is very specific: getting 40% of the vote and the UC getting a bare bones 10% and the remaining breaking fairly strongly one way or the other.

Long story short, if moderates have a chance, the UC has a chance. If the UC is getting even 20% of the vote, they have a shot, especially if the GS posts a strong number like 30%.

My theory is that the Marxists are actually going to come in at the #2 spot, slightly behind the UC, simply because it has already been mentioned in the AAR how popular Marxist rule has been with much of the proletariat.
 
I got a email from kadon about this

What's behind that X Gongj? What behind that X?

ps about 1/2 an hour to go.
 
Vote collective anarchist

I have no idea what I'm voting for​
 
Every time someone votes for Collective Anarchists, a Young Anarchist kills a kitten.
Every time someone votes for the Marxists, Blanqui kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens.
 
Polls are now closed.

I'll come back in a few minutes with the followings stats:

Final tallies
Percentages for each faction of your vote
The Workers' Vote percentages
Total percentages

There's been a few votes since my last count up so I'm still not sure who's one. But it still looks like there's going to be a percent here or there in it. Seems that this isn't going to be the simple one party wins then biffs their enemies that I expected.
 
OK here are the final results:

Total Number of votes: 58 - impressively the joint best result yet despite that slow start to voting

United Cooperationists: 20 votes

Anarchists: 16 votes

Marxist-Centralist Alliance: 12 votes

German Socialists: 10 votes

Percentages from your votes (all figures to 2 decimal places):

UC: 34.48%

Anarchists: 27.59%

Marxist-Centralist Alliance: 20.69%

German Socialists: 17.24%

Workers' Vote:

UC: 23.45%

Anarchists: 30.12%

Marxist-Centralist Alliance: 28.9%

German Socialists: 17.53%

Final Total (This is the only stat that really matter people):

United Cooperationists: 28.965%

Anarchists: 28.885%

Marxist-Centralist Alliance: 24.795%

German Socialists: 17.385%

The United Cooperationists win by 0.08% :eek:........

Well, the good news: a majority supports a free press and limited military.

EDIT: I can't wait to read the next updates!
