Really glad we've established the Cold Party, with the Liberals are the Hot party, and Nationals as the Warm party. Please ignore all the exceptions for this to work. Alternatives being the Northern Party, Central/Middle Party, and Southern-Coastal Parties.

Really want to see a more regular timeline of Hillary-Bernie's term in this TL.

I'd love to see this.

This is such a fun read. I cannot wait to see how it all pans out.

Guessing Theodore Roosevelt, since he helped end the Russo-Japanese war.

This timeline is immensely satisfying, jokes are great, like better than most AH I’ve read, really glad I spent some time to take a look. This sounds stupid, but it seems to scratch a kind of itch about American Politics I never knew existed by having it make so much more ‘sense’ to me as...

It wouldn’t be a big moment of mine without me somehow messing up a key detail. It is done. Thank you. I’m sorry I’ve made this a big deal in terms of how I’m making it sound, but I thought it’d make this a bit more fun and self reflective. Also I really should’ve just @ you in the first post.

If its easy enough, Jo works just as well. This will just be a username. I understand it might take a moment, though.

To celebrate my first day of transition, I'd like to ask Meadow and the SLP staff team to finally change my name from what it was prior. I have been waiting for this for... years. 'Jophiel' is what I've decided on. Thank you all for treating me so nicely during this period. You're all a...

The two alliances being Germany, Russia against France and Britain is interesting. Wonder if that’d lead Austria to seek help from France and Britain and as a result Italy has both possible irredentism targets united against them.

There’s something very British Empire about the fact that they could’ve maintained some of the empire by absorbing the parts that wanted through integration into parliament, but racism and fiscal anxiety meant they’d rather just let it disintegrate.

I heard that one of the reasons Britain refused to annex Malta amongst several was that they didn’t want to set the potential precedent that all colonies could be incorporated into the UK. What potential colonies would’ve wanted this?

Actually, this brings up a good point. By the time the Soviets had effectively conquered all of Germany, France could possibly liberate itself. Not sure on that, someone with more knowledge on the French resistance may need to correct me, but that might lead to the Maquis or other groups...

But would the Soviets be willing to let that happen? They tended to react rather aggressively to different styles of Communism or reforms to the systems they had in place as we saw with Tito as well as the unrest events within the Warsaw pact. The question would be whether they'd be willing to...

Common Wealth might have potential, the problem is that Attlee is pretty popular. Don't see how a left of labour party can really succeed if I'm being honest in the climate established after WW2. Eventually its just not going to survive. Maybe if Labour was more pluralistic we could see him...

I don't know how common it is to have a thread on just one person, but I find Tom Wintringham fascinating. In the book 'Tom Wintringham: The Last English Revolutionary', written by Hugh Purcell and Phyll Smith, he's quoted as saying: "Spain woke me up politically. I rediscovered democracy, the...

Would be fascinating if we ended up with basically Vichy France give or take some territory as the WAllies government due to more resources being put into Dragoon, while the north/formerly German occupied section becomes a Soviet aligned state. I know 'immediate effects' are the main focus here...

On the other thread we had a discussion on a 1940 ceasefire. That could sort of bring about what I guess I mean, without it being a permanent peace.

I guess my point is that if he tried to intervene and go 'Hey, can we maybe do that negotiation for peace to preserve the empire?' during the May crisis. I know its a bit unrealistic I just find the idea of it happening fascinating.

But wasn't he more willing to express his views and support than the other royals? Even to the detriment of the institution as a whole?
