    Gonzo's Graphics and Infoboxes Thread

    Thank you very much! Yes I feel Dublin South would be one of those areas that would vote for an alt!Tory candidate here even under 1997 conditions. One area I dithered over giving to one party or another was Dublin South-East, which I am 'casting', so to speak, as one of those formerly safe...

    I suppose going off the result from 1970 with no boost from the UUUC, Utley can *just* about scrape through. Plus its important to note that Utley was overall probably to the Rev. Dr. Lord. MP. MLA. Cllr. MEP.'s right as a average while still probably being more tolerable to the average...

    The 1974 general election in Northern Ireland, often dubbed the Sunningdale election, was held under the large shadow of the Sunningdale Agreement. The Agreement set up a powersharing government in Northern Ireland which would include the Ulster Unionist Party, the SDLP, the non-sectarian...

    I was trying to have something somewhat realistic (which I think I have achieved in terms of the list of Taoiseachs), but I agree with your point there. I did have a little concept list before with a more stereotypical Scandinavian Ireland with a dominant Social Democratic Party. I guess I...

    I'd have thought President John Waters (Ted Kaczynski without maths or bomb making knowhow) was even worse? *All seats are held by Independents* *Kerry is represented by 6 Healy-Raes* *Independent Fianna Fail is a thing again* *Government resolves to fight the major problem of potholes in...

    WI: No Hunger Strikes

    I think it would be interesting to see what the effects on Nationalist politics. As has been raised, the Fermanagh & South Tyrone by-election would probably end up going to Harry West and the UUP as the Nationalist vote would be split between Maguire's brother and perhaps Austin Currie. OTL the...

    WI: Fine Gael are in power during the GFC

    It is important who Fianna Fail choose as their leader in opposition. Their leadership race OTL in 2008 was very sparse owning to the fact no one stood against Brian Cowen. I could see Brian Lenihan Jnr. in the running as well as perhaps Dermot Ahern (no relation to Bertie) or Micheal Martin. I...
