Union of Britain

A monarchy under Queen Charlotte as of 2088, the Prime Minister is Ava Lansdown of the Conservative Party. It is a well-off part of the European Federation (EuroFed) and seen as one of the prime leaders of that federation and a bastion of "Europeanism".

London is a sprawling metropolis and considerably bigger legal-wise. The rest of England are divided in provinces, namely devolved regions. Scotland is a stronghold of the Conservative Party's Scottish sister party the Unionist Association and overall is seen as the more "traditional" Celtic country, a bastion of Celtic conservatism and traditionalism. Unlike their cousins down south...

And now we come to Wales and Cornwall. Yes, Wales and Cornwall. Blame Mebyon Kernow for fuelling a "fuck it, if we can't get devolution we might as well try to be part of Wales" movement in the 30s. Often just called Wales, it's a hub of cultural liberalism and the Valleys create many hits for British media, up to the point where it's called "Valleywood". Politically, it goes for the Radicals, although Plaid Cymru often has good days and sometimes becomes government.

The Radicals are the new political party on the block. As Labour tears itself apart and is widely seen as devoid of ideas, the Radicals step in. The Radicals are ultimately the merger of the Greens, Progressives, Democrats 48, iNTERACT and People With Passion in the 2060s and has only grew and grew. Refusing to categorise themselves as left or right, they instead portray themselves as "offering new politics for a new age". Both to the left and right of Labour, their ideas can be charitably described as... syncretic. Universal basic income isn't a new idea, but some of their other ideas, like functional constituencies replacing the House of Lords, adoption of the "Swiss model" of direct democracy including letting the people force a vote of no confidence referendum, yeah. Weird.

In the 2087 election, they surpassed Labour for the first time, marking a sea change in British politics.

Scots Parliament
Scottish National: 44
(led by Murdo Fraser. Very independent-thinking those days)
Scots Independent: 36 (led by Michael Russell, who is fighting off calls for a new leadership election)
Social Democratic: 34 (led by Jim Murphy, who is facing a hard time due to divisions over working with the SNP)
Liberal: 29 (led by Jo Swinson, who is seen as leading the party on the up and up)
Independent Labour: 19 (led by Alex Rowley. After all the bitter divisions and schisms, the ILP in Scotland is... pitiful now)
Scottish Left: 13 (led by Michael Gove. The main ILP splitter. Michael Gove strikes an unusual figure, but is doubtlessly a titan)
Tús Nua!Free Scotland: 12 (led by Liam Fox. An SIP right-wing splitter, it has some odd... Jacobite streaks in it.)
Agriculturalist: 8 (led by Andrew McCornick, it's a rural farmers' advocacy party in Scotland. Is vague regarding Independence)
Scottish Voice: 6 (no overall leader. A gaggle of localist groups who managed to win seats, it's opposed to centralising tendencies)
Unionist: 5 (led by Mark Meechan. Once the major "right-Tory" party, it has gone a little... odd. Talk of rebranding to "Braveheart" abound)
Globalist: 5 (led by Shiona Baird and Martin Stepek.. Still reeling from losing four seats in 2018)
Communist: 2 (led by Zoe Hennessy. Very much the junior partner to Michael Gove's Scottish Left)

Mebyon Kernow coalition) 2015

Sarah Newton (National-Agriculturalist coalition) 2015-2019
George Eustice (Cornish Nationalist minority with Mebyon Kernow support) 2019-

With the ascendance of George Eustice and the CNP at the February 2019 Cornwall election, this is an early blow to Minette Batters' government. Despite the campaign being primarily that of local concerns, the weakening economy and the language (sometimes), some attribute this to a growing nationalist and localist sentiment like in the rest of Britain. Some would attribute Eustice's success to being seen as the one "most likely to send a message" to Batters, especially on The Question, which he has made no bones about his preference. However, others would caution such an interpretation - while it is popular on the media, there is little evidence to suggest voters voted primarily on where parties stood on The Question, and that this was probably a combination of rising localist sentiment and Cornwall shifting more right-wing over time. Eustice has not discouraged such a view, though.

With Mebyon Kernow begrudgingly saying they'll vote to support Eustice's government, he seems bound to be Lord Warden. What is clear is that Cornwall is getting a very nationalist government. Eustice and Mebyon Kernow's leader Derek Collins have made the visit to Dick Cole's grave to mark the formation of the new government. Dick Cole's death, seemingly, wasn't in vain.
