The 2015 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday, 7 May 2015 to elect 650 members to the House of Commons. It was the first general election at the end of a fixed-term Parliament. Local elections took place in most areas on the same day.

Polls and commentators had predicted a close result and possibly a second consecutive hung parliament that would be similar to the 2010 election. On the whole opinion polls were proven to have slightly underestimated the Labour vote with the party winning 333 seats and 34.8% of the vote share, giving them a small overall majority of 16 seats. It is the lowest vote share any majority government has won in UK electoral history.

The Conservative Party, which had governed in coalition with the Liberal Democrats since 2010, suffered their lowest share of the vote since 1832 and returned 200 MPs which was their lowest seat tally since the 2005 election. Senior Conservative MPs, notably Wales Secretary Stephen Crabb, Employment Minister Esther McVey and Veterans Minister Anna Soubry, were defeated.

The Scottish National Party, enjoying a surge in support after the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, recorded a number of large swings from Labour and increase it's number of seats to 43 to become the third-largest party in the Commons. The Liberal Democrats, led by outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, had their worst result since their formation in 1988 and the worst vote share of the main centrist party in the UK since 1970. The party lost 38 of its 57 seats and it's vote fell to 7.7%.

UKIP came third in terms of votes with 15.4% but failed to win any seats, losing the two seats it had gained at by-elections in 2014. The Green Party won its highest-ever share of the vote with 4.9% and retained its only seat. In Northern Ireland, the Ulster Unionist Party returned to the Commons with two MPs after a five-year absence, while the Alliance Party lost its only seat despite increasing its share of the vote.

David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister on 8 May and Ed Balls was appointed by the Queen as his replacement. Cameron also announced his resignation as Leader of the Conservative Party, although he became acting leader while a successor was appointed. Nick Clegg resigned as Leader of the Liberal Democrats and was replaced by Norman Lamb after a leadership election.

The Conservative Party made 18 gains, 17 from the Liberal Democrats and 1 from Labour, while it suffered 91 losses, all of them to Labour. The Labour Party made 104 gains, including the 91 from the Conservatives, 1 from Plaid Cymru and 12 from the Liberal Democrats and suffered 29 losses with all but 1 being to the SNP.

This election was the last to be held where voters aged 16 and 17 years old could not participate, with the franchise being extended in 2016 as part of the Great Reform Acts of 2016 and 2017 that introduced widespread political reform across the United Kingdom. The 56th Parliament that was elected in the 2015 election was also the last to include the House of Lords following it's abolition in 2019 and replacement by the mostly elected Senate of the United Kingdom.

Ed Balls formed his first government on 8 and 9 May with notable appointments including Harriet Harman as Deputy Prime Minister, David Miliband as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Andy Burnham as Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband as Home Secretary and Dan Jarvis as Defence Secretary.

It has just occurred to me that I never posted the three other boxes I did for this Ed Balls scenario...

Our exit poll is suggesting that the Conservatives, under Nicholas Soames, will win a second landslide majority. We are saying the Conservatives will lose about 20 seats, which will leave them with around 380 seats. And this... this is perhaps going to be, to history, one of the landmark moments in British politics. We are saying that the Green Party of England and Wales will form Her Majesty's Opposition. The Green Party of England and Wales will form Her Majesty's opposition, as we expect them to take close to 70 seats away from Labour. The Greens are expected to take around 140 seats, up around 90, and the Labour Party, under the leadership of Chuka Umunna, are expected to fall to close to 90 seats. We are also saying that, on the exit poll, Chuka Umunna is under serious risk of losing his seat to the Greens. The Liberal Democrats are expected to have a good night, and are expected to get around 15 seats. Truly a remarkable exit poll, and we're headed for an extraordinary night.

And there we go, the official announcement; Carla Denyer has been elected Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, succeeding Natalie Bennett, who has served as leader for the last nine years. Resigning in the aftermath of Shahrar Ali's reappointment to the party frontbench, Bennett is expected to be given a frontbench post herself, for at least the interim period. Denyer has pledged to crack down on transphobia in the Green Party, and look into the potential of a rebrand, possibly returning to the Ecology Party name. This follows the emergence of the New Alliance, the merger between the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party, with their new leader... Jamie Stone. At the age of 36, she is by far the youngest leader of the three main parties; Soames is 73, Stone is 67. Having been elected Leader, Denyer immediately takes over as Leader of the Opposition, and will be sworn of Her Majesty's Privy Council.

screenshot-en.wikipedia.org-2021.10.02-09_49_55.pngThe 2023 United Kingdom general election was held on 7 September 2023 to elect 650 members to the House of Commons. The election resulted in a second consecutive majority for the governing Conservative Party, led by Boris Johnson, although the majority was slashed from 80 to 24. The election had been scheduled to take place in May 2024, but had been called early by the government after the completion of the 2023 boundary review, which updated constituency boundaries for Westminster elections, and in the context of consistently good polling for the government.

Since the 2019 election, the government had led Britain's departure from the European Union and handled the COVID-19 pandemic, which had caused significant economic and social disruption. Despite this, and amidst a growing number of crises in 2021 and 2022 including fuel shortages, labour shortages and slowing economic growth, the government maintained a consistent and unprecedented lead in the polls throughout the Parliament, only briefly falling behind the Opposition in the middle of the pandemic. The opposition Labour Party remained beset with infighting between its right-wing and left-wing caucuses, with leader Keir Starmer attempting to marginalise the left-wing, democratic socialist side of the party in a bid to appear more in touch with the electorate. Starmer struggled to break through to the public despite this and his personal approval ratings slumped throughout his leadership.

The campaign was a short, snap campaign after the calling of the election on 24 July. Polling remained stable and it was generally assumed throughout the campaign that the Conservatives would be re-elected with a similar sized majority. Election debates were held, but the Prime Minister Boris Johnson refused to take part, instead sending Dominic Raab to participate in one debate and Liz Truss to participate in another in his stead. As in the 2015 and 2017 elections, two debates with representatives from the six parties in Great Britain took place. Despite expectations that it would appear cowardly, Johnson's decision not to take part in debates appeared to have little or no impact on his support. The Conservative campaign was otherwise relatively smooth, whilst in turn Labour found itself both fighting over the contents of its manifesto, with former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell calling the party's policy offering "embarrassingly weak", and damaged by media interest in the campaign in Islington North, where former leader Jeremy Corbyn stood successfully as an independent against the party's official candidate.

Whilst the Conservatives lost seats and Labour gained them, the progress was considered poor by the media and the party and Starmer resigned the following day. The SNP remained the largest party in Scotland, winning all but six seats north of the border, whilst the Liberal Democrats made gains at the expense of the Conservatives in the south of England, holding onto their by-election gain in Chesham and Amersham and winning key target seats such as Cheltenham and Winchester. Despite a strong campaign in Esher and Walton, the party failed to unseat Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, who held onto his place in the Commons with a majority of just 126. Plaid Cymru was damaged by the boundary review, winning just two seats despite increasing their share of the vote, whilst the Green Party gained their second MP, as co-leader Carla Denyer won Bristol Central, a seat notionally held by Labour. Incumbent Green MP Caroline Lucas once again expanded her majority in Brighton Pavilion.

Honestly so much better than anything I could've ever put together. Outstanding.
 
MI13 infobox.pngMilitary Intelligence, Section 13, also known as the Department of Occult Intelligence or most commonly as MI13, is the mystic and occult intelligence agency of the United Kingdom. It operates alongside the mundane arms of British intelligence, such as MI6 and MI5; unlike those sections, however, MI13 operates without ministerial oversight, largely 'off the books'. This has given the service a reputation for the sinister, giving rise to a number of conspiracy theories involving the organisation.

Section 13 of Military Intelligence was established in 1931, during the interwar period. It's existence was a close state-guarded secret; though it knew of and was known by other contemporary mystic intelligence agencies. The founding, and only known, Director of MI13 was Michael McKenzie, the Scots Guard responsible for the discovery of the Shiva Stone in 1929. McKenzie's leadership of MI13 was controversial within Military Intelligence, but his subsequent discovery of the Hag's Stone and near-reclamation of the Excalibur relic secured his position. Under his command, Section 13 contended with the contemporary operations of rival organisations, most notably the NKVD-DTP, the SS-MS and the Seikeitai.

After the war, MI13 remained in obscurity. It was involved in the Cold War, ending a brief alliance with the NKVD-DTP, but remained hidden in the shadows. The release of the McKenzie Manuscripts in 2001, as per McKenzie's will, revealed the existence of the organisation to the public, and it was forced out into the open.

MI13 is responsible for the acquisition, classification and protection of unknown non-standard objects, the investigation of non-standard occurrences, and the countering of occult espionage and terrorism.

Section 13 is officially headquartered at Hag's House in London, but it is widely accepted that the organisation maintains a number of other, more secretive facilities, and the department's operations at Hag's House are widely viewed as a front for its other activities.
