October 2011 Election

This election was set to take place on January 2012 but the passing of Parliament Vote 19 called for an early election, set for October 25th 2011, Rogue proposed to bring the date forward 3 days to the 22nd with Parliament Vote 23 but this vote looks set to fail.

Party Changes
A number of parties suffer losses to their membership or disband as a party so will be running with less members or none.

Capsule Corp
This party no longer exists as it's members went to the newly formed Black Mesa or other parties.

Warrior Party
POOHEAD189 is the only remaining member of the Warrior Party, so can only win a maximum of one seat, their other member Kaio- Shin now known as Solid Snake Vixen left to join Aperture Laboratories.

Aperture Laboratories
A number of prominent members left, Nagash and Cal left to form Black Mesa and Engineer has left because of a busy life.

Black Mesa
This new party suffered the loss of DanielSan who went to run his own, solo party The Sons of Liberty and Cal who left for personal reasons.

Outcome
The election ended with Aperture Laboratories remaining the largest party, although they increased their populare vote, they lost a seat and majority. The reason for this is most likley down to the greater number of parties and intrest this time around.

Chris (formally DanielSan) left Black Mesa as mentioned previously and this may have cost him a seat as he only managed to get 2.78% of the votes (1 vote).

Rogue listed some of the things to be discussed this term, 2 of which showed up on other parties policies, showing that there is some unity.

Coalition?
Rogue did mention that Aperture Laboratories would be open to listerning for colation proposals.
