Let's say Bernie beats Hilary (or she doesn't run and he beats a divided field ) and Beats the Donald. With a hostile GOP and a not that friendly Democrats what kind of legislation do you think he manages to pass? Also if anyone knows of any good TLs anywhere about a Bernie presidency let...

Let's say Hilary narrowly wins in 2016. With republicans making gains in 2018. How do you think she does compared to the Donald when it comes to covid ? Do you think this is enough for Her to win a second term? (Assuming she runs again) won would assume she's up against Trump again (Also not...

So, I think it was @Callan who upon seeing the 2017 election exit poll said something like "She was going to be Margaret Thatcher and now she's just Kim Campbell." My challenge to you is, preferably with a PoD post her election as Tory leader in 2016, how badly can things go for Theresa May. I...

Hey mods I'm doing a writing marathon tomorrow to raise money for a)my husbands therapy b) cover costs while he's off work (due to mental health) Can I share a link to the fundraiser or would you rather not. No worries if you'd rather not

How would the next five years play out for the Tories if Theresa May resigned after the 2017 General Election? would Boris Succeed her? and How would he go with getting the deal through parliament without his big post2019 majority

How do folks think the 2017 election would have gone if Macron hadn't run for president? Would folks reluctantly rally around Fillon? How would the socialists fare?

So a bit of recent history. Lets say following a 2017 GE that goes much worse for May or some other scenario where Jeremy Corbyn leads Labour to a plurality of seats but falls short of a majority do you think the other parties would accept him being PM as well as Labour leader or would they...

Quick one, sorry if this doesn't need its own thread but with the ruling about abortion in Texas (yes I know it was 5-4 not 6-3) I was wondering, lets say Clinton wins in 2016 and gets to appoint the same 3 vacancies ? and would who she she perhaps compromise on? Its not impossible she doesnt...

I've written a few lists with Labour in power post 2015 (or 16) but usually they're minorities with Lib Dem or SNP support or coalitions following a Lib Dem resurgence. So my first question is. How do you get Jeremy Corbyn into no.10 after his election as leader in 2015. And secondly. How do...

Yes, it is time for Bolt wanking on about voting reform. Two parter: 1) Get a Labour-Lib Dem coalition or Labour W/ Lib Dem S&C Govt as the outcome of the 1992 election (or at least the next election after the 1987 one) 2) What would this government do, how would it go? PoD no earlier than...

I'm writing a low-key alternate history (ish) story at the moment and one of the characters is from a world which diverges with Florida going to Gore in 2000. I've vaguely outlined the world and how it influences the day to day life of the character (who was only 10 at the time of the PoD) and...

This is based on an AH.com thread entitled "Taiwan your country". In the event of a 1926 general strike leads to revolution or Kaiserreich/People's Flag type scenario. What are the chances of the UK Government withdrawing to one of the UK's islands and setting up a government there? I had an...

I found an old PMs list And this left me wondering. Lets say there was only one debate in 2010. It was the week before the election and Britain went into a high Electoral Calculus *"Boo! boo! Rhubarb! Custard!"* puts the Lib Dems on around 130 seats on the one poll they were in the lead...

Moved to the writing subforum

Reading about last nights Meatball election and does anyone know what electoral system the Liberal/SDP Alliance supported? Especially in the event of their getting a majority in 1983 (and did this change between 83 and 87) (alternatively, would this change in the event of an Alliance-Labour...

So, without use of nuclear weapons. Have a scenario that results in a interbellum style National government form. For more points have a Lab-Con Grand coaltion form. (formed after war. none of this @Mumby-ish continuation of pre or during war government, Bob, I love you Bob) Points will be...
