[King]

What does this all mean?

[Frodo]

How did you categorize the parties, particularly the CDP and CUP?  Or did you base it more on the individuals themselves who served in the Senate as opposed to the parties they were affiliated with? 

[Colin]

What does this all mean?

Simple, it shows how many members of each party was in the Senate at that time. The partisan make-up is from the beginning of that Senate and does not include resignations and party changes after the start of the session. The abbreviations are standard from the Wiki.

How did you categorize the parties, particularly the CDP and CUP?  Or did you base it more on the individuals themselves who served in the Senate as opposed to the parties they were affiliated with? 

Individuals mostly, I've been around Atlasia long enough to know whether the person was left, right or centre when he was in the Senate and his subsequent actions and political beliefs in Atlasia.

[MAS117]

Ah the Constitutional Union Party. Man those were the days.

[The Dowager Mod]

Thought i was progressive party.

[KEmperor]

Thought i was progressive party.

Well good thing we have this list then.

[The Dowager Mod]

I think i'm the only one from the first senate in any office right now.

[MAS117]

I believe I served in the 6th, 7th, and 10th Senate.

[KEmperor]

I believe I served in the 6th, 7th, and 10th Senate.

Don't mix your beliefs with your politics.

[Gabu]

Ah, yes, I remember the tenth Senate... that was a golden age for independence.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

(Pssst.  Our party is the NLC, not the NLM.)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I am not a member of the SLA.

[Colin]

I am not a member of the SLA.

When did I count you as one?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I am not a member of the SLA.

When did I count you as one?

No idea and I've not checked. But I note that the Wiki counts me as a member of the SLA (at least it did yesterday).

[Colin]

I am not a member of the SLA.

When did I count you as one?

No idea and I've not checked. But I note that the Wiki counts me as a member of the SLA (at least it did yesterday).

I probably did count you as SLA on second thought.

[Democratic Hawk]

How did you categorize the parties, particularly the CDP and CUP?  Or did you base it more on the individuals themselves who served in the Senate as opposed to the parties they were affiliated with? 

Individuals mostly, I've been around Atlasia long enough to know whether the person was left, right or centre when he was in the Senate and his subsequent actions and political beliefs in Atlasia.

So what did you categorize I as?

So what did you categorize I as?

Dave 'Hawk'

Left, since I always considered your voting positions to be rather leftist especially in the Senates that you were in, which were less focused on social issues than the current one is.

We should have a line graph showing the fluctuations in the number of those senators classified as being on the left, centre, or the right from the very first Senate to the most recent.  Red would represent the Left; Blue for the Right; and light Green for the Centre. 

[Colin]

I may do that later tonight.

Also another fun fact, the 23rd Senate will have the highest amount of members from a single party, the NLC, since the 8th Senate, which gave 5 seats to the CUP making it the last time the Senate had a majority party.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I took a quick look at such a graph, and it was, to be blunt, a jagged mess with no real long-term trends.

[Verily]

I took a quick look at such a graph, and it was, to be blunt, a jagged mess with no real long-term trends.

Part of the problem in looking at trends are staggered elections. The NLC now holds three District seats but only one Regional seat; I'd like for us to win more Regional seats, especially since holding on to three seats in an STV election will be quite a task, but that may be difficult given our concentration in the most populous Region.
