More boosting Greek as a language than erasing English, though depending on how much they want done and how fast that could be a huge problem. Of course that depends on how many Cypriotes are bilingual; there'd likely be a lot as Greek was more respectable to the British Empire of the 19th and...
I'd assume the grand dream of a truly national syndicate between all groups will fall to shit for the same reasons it didn't work out IRL and the Chinese were frozen out, but once it's been done once that means somebody will think of doing it again, attempt doing it again, fear it's being done...

A rebounding 60s economy and second Wilson term probably bodes ill for the Tories, leaving them more likely to be the main government when the 70s goes to shit (if it still does)? We get some very different decades if Discontent is associated with Tory rule and Labour have a lingering 'party of...
This does emphasise how big a loss Eric Flint's death is - one thing to know about him helping other writers as abstract fact, another to see a writer explain how he helped them personally get their book out
