I think so too. My main thought here is 1. Cox and Mogg are very anti specific-types of lobbying and I suspect that includes unions and 2. Pop up unions have done well in situations where mainstream ones have failed. There's been movement on this stuff recently to make unions work better in the...

The End of Reason 2019-2022: Boris Johnson (Conservative) Boris Johnson, scion of the Leave campaign, began his leadership with bold, simple statements - getting Brexit done. However, the country that had apparently had enough of experts was soon struck by a crisis that required expert skills...

Cheeky bit of Cameron there. Love it

What a great framing device @Time Enough

The constituency names you've created here are absolutely delicious. Love it

If I did a @Bolt451 -style PMs list with SLP posters as the characters, would anyone want to be in it?

Internal screaming

The problem I see with this is that the 1960s were not evenly distributed. America may be different I guess but my parents studied in London at the time and talked about what a shock it was too see the values and fashions of what we think of as the 60s now. I wonder how many people, especially...

I considered having Proudfoot appear in Respect - I imagine that's where he'd end up. I then realised that between Respect and a more XR focused Greens there may not be NIP style continuity movements so he would likely remain unimportant and maybe have a National Committee position under Bouattia

It's a really interesting one, I think - I went down a bit of a rabbit hole learning about prominent women who had been involved in Respect through the SWP but were kicked out/left around Comrade Delta. The thing is I kept hitting a brick wall where they didn't have enough notability to feel...

It's genuinely getting difficult to name prominent men in the Labour Party who could stand for election and might win. I figured Miliband may be seen as a god option for a popular and high profile candidate from the north who is a man (which Labour seems to like)

Shades of Green 2005-2017: Salma Yaqoob (Respect) George Galloway's heart attack in 2007 dramatically increased Yaqoob's power within Respect and in 2010 se was elected MP for Birmingham Hall Green. In 2013 the party suffered a huge and embarrassing internal conflict as the SWP pulled itself...
