That's really interesting @Time Enough - a really unique idea
Thank you, inspired by stumbling across a Wikipedia page talking about the DDR’s first (and only) truly Democratic Election and I was like ‘Uh imagine if this continued and the DDR was Democratic and didn’t join up with West Germany’.That's really interesting @Time Enough - a really unique idea
Indeed, as part of Romberg’s and the SDP’s economic reforms of the mid 90s Lignite Mining would be part of that (alongside increasing production of wind farms and various other green proposals to appease there coalition partners). Part of the eventual collapse of the Hildebrandt government was due to the Greens who supported coal mining breaking off and joining the Democratic Alliance after an argument with the more eco conscious colleagues, well that and the perceived too good relationship with the PDS by several important members.I'm assuming it was the SDP who championed the lignite mines here then?
Aye I was considering that, the logic in my opinion is more due to the absolute collapse of the SDP and the CDU, The Greens are given the choice of stagnant government or awkwardly allying with the Left Party (who are promising to fund the Greens ideas for industry).The PDS and the Greens would probably have a much more rocky working relationship than this, the Greens were after all pretty much directly descended from the 1989 protest movement leadership. They rather than the SPD have been the consistent stumbling block for red-red-green coalitions ever since reunification IOTL.
There is an inspiration for the Rundown above, guess what Nation was the inspiration.
If you do, I’ll award you with a like I guess.
Yep, there’s also a dash of Taiwan with the Isle of Man stuff but yeah Nepal is the main inspiration.Nepal?
Prince Andrew murdering his family,
Tebbit created a Hoxaist party
orkshire was the one where the 'killing moors' occurred
Thank you, I think Prince Andrew murdering his family and Tebbit making a Hoxhaist Party are two of my highlights of list/Rundown bonkerness.This is gloriously mental.
February 2020 Labour Leadership Rundown Special
Emily Thornberry Just about leading according to the few (totally untrustworthy) polls available, and she technically scored the most nominations. But seriously... no one seems excited for Thornberry, and she's having some serious issues thanks to Rayner siphoning off the Corbynite vote.
Angela Rayner Very nakedly the Continuity Corbyn candidate, but like Thornberry she's underperforming because Corbyn and Johnny Mac are keeping shtum about who they're backing. She's also suffering the same problem as Thornberry that a (very small) number of Core Group Plus are supporting the Shadow Foreign Sec for... reasons.
Keir Starmer Making himself out to be the Soft Left candidate I guess? Starmer's total flop is the biggest disappointment of a deeply disappointing race to be honest, and his fumbling around endorsing UBI has only further convinced me he doesn't really "get" Corbynism.
Andrew Adonis Has promised to, idk, fuck a train tunnel until it gets pregnant with HS2 or something. If you think I'm keeping up with Adonis' leadership campaign then I've got a high-speed rail bridge to sell you. Ok I have been keeping up, he's just the candidate flat out Revoke now. Guessing when he loses he'll fuck off to the Lib Dems.
Jess Phillips Theoretically has some good ideas and is maybe more soundly feminist in her promises (in that she's really gone all out on being "the feminist candidate") but she's been running a really nasty campaign too. Basically the only thing better than seeing Jess fail is...
Stephen Kinnock running the worst leadership campaign of my lifetime. The "say yes to everything Boris wants" candidate the Labour Party didn't know it could even have to be in a position to not want!
On the one hand he had destroyed slavery as an institution and set the United States back on the principles of justice it's Founders at least mouthed. On the other, he established a precedent of military government, and his Constitution carried certain religious principles the newborn US struggled to overcome in the succeeding decades.
Sort of like an Atatürk, but with added religiousness?
