There is a cog at the end of the toolbar which turns it into BB Code Mode



It turns orange when you click on it. (Or maybe a different colour in Dark Mode)

Nice, hacking into the matrix.

Yeah I was having bullshit like using spellcheck and it changing the colour of things.

I should add that I found that cog entirely by accident because I was wondering why I couldn't seem to click on any icons and I had to do everything via BB code...

@stefanbl this is my favourite list by virtue of PM David Drew

I was inspired by the "No Iraq War - how much longer does Blair get?" thread, and specifically AlfieJ's comment about a 1993 election. From there, the post-9/11 election and no Iraq War scenarios both take place.

this leads to some aaaaaaaaa

"Just because one word is almost impossible to outlaw does not mean that a series of words are the same. To issue an example, in the late 1980's, in Britain it became illegal to say phrases such as 'I support the IRA's military campaign' or 'Martin McGuinness [IRA leader at the time] is right'. This lead to crackdowns on newspapers such as Socialist Action, who continued to write articles and editorials in support of the militant group. MPs John McDonnell and Ken Livingstone found themselves arrested in 1987 for defying government rules and speaking out in support after a bomb attack on Winchester. These draconian rules on the IRA also affected the media, where a stringent broadcasting ban had been in place. BBC Journalist Peter Sissons was fired and visited by Met officers for accidentally letting slip a mention of both the IRA and Sinn Féin."

MPs for Blackwater Falls

Cecil Underwood (1973-1981): Elected in 1973 as part of the Wallace/Rebirth landslide, Underwood was part of the Victory opposition in West Virginia (with his family supporting Taylor's Traditionalists). Underwood was appointed to the Wallace cabinet as Minister for Internal Improvements and became a well-respected member of the administration. With the 1977 defeat of Wallace and the only Rebirth government, Underwood's majority got smaller and smaller. By 1981, when the American Party secured a large majority over Mueller's Rebirth, he was defeated.

Ken Hechler (1981-1987): Jailed during the era of Owsley, Hechler was determined to enter state politics. But after his career floundered, he ran for the American Party as a star candidate in their target seat of Blackwater Falls and won. Quickly, he proved controversial after failing to secure a cabinet post and defying the American whip. He became part of the Refounded Agrarian League but still was believed to be out of place. Upon him being deselected in 1987, he became an independent, but only secured 8.5% of the vote.

A. James Manchin (1987-2003): Likely the most important MP for Blackwater Falls, Manchin was a fiery speaker for the Agrarians and the Zimmerman government. Manchin has been remembered as the man that made Wayne Cryts leader of the Agrarians and for having a tight grip over Agrarian MPs as Chief Whip. Unlike most Agrarians, he joined National rather than the "moist retro punk" David Byrne and his UMF. His powerful oratory was less useful with the witty P.J. O'Rourke leading the Nationals, but he stayed an elder statesman and an advisor to the eventual Prime Minister.

Cecil Underwood (2003-2006): The death of Manchin left a big hole in Blackwater Falls, and O'Rourke hoped to target the seat. As he had lost the 2002 election to Byrne, the party would not be pleased with a defeat. Cecil Underwood was brought out of retirement to run, who faced the UMF's Robin Davis and the independent environmentalist (with the support of the CPUSA) Ken Hechler. Underwood's fame and speculation of corruption around Davis secured him a win in the by-election. He would remain a relatively quiet backbencher until his 2006 death of a stroke.

Charlotte Pritt (2006-Present): Underwood's death came right before the 2006 general election, leaving the last by-election of the 9th People's Congress seen as a bellwether. With the more left-wing Pritt taking support from former Hechler supporters and turnout remaining low, the UMF was able to take the seat over National's Mary Lou Retton. Pritt was a critic of liberal David Brooks' leadership but is a close ally of Zeyphr Teachout's more radical agenda.
