Extremely interesting scenario (British National Congress!), @Thande, but frankly shocking levels of 1966 election erasure.

Mogul Trump is convicted in all four of the federal and state cases against him, including in the Florida classified documents case, where most observers had anticipated a hung jury. His legal team - which, having shed lawyers over the next eighteen months, looks entirely different to today -...

I don't think you can blame @Comrade Izaac - or anyone, for that matter - for being jumpy about this. Not being sure which ideas to take in good faith and which were lifted from elsewhere poisoned the atmosphere here for a while. These things leave a legacy.

I don’t think it’s too edgy. My biggest gripe is that Mountbatten survives the 1979 bombing, gets Gaged, and seizes power... in 1977?

Doubtful, it's in line with the Lascelles Principles.

Not quite, Orpington and Bexley are both still blue right there on the map!

Given the ugly mood in the party after Hartlepool, I think it's pretty clear that a defeat in Batley - let alone a third place finish - would spell the end of Starmer's leadership. At the very least he faces a bruising challenge from Angela Rayner over the summer.

The difficulty of Campbell-ising a politician is that you need an unexpectedly catastrophic election result - and a very short premiership. For May to become a British Kim Campbell (not a Canadian one as the title suggests!) you’d need to combine the surprise of the 2017 election with the...

guess who's back back again mulcair's back lavalin Tom Mulcair survives his leadership review in Edmonton - perhaps it takes place elsewhere, or the leadership are more attuned to the risk. Either way, he survives and whilst NDP polling remains bad, it's not nearly as bad as OTL (especially...

I think the format’s great for weaving a contextless narrative around a person, but a couple of things. Florida doesnt hold off-year special elections for vacancies in the Senate, the governor taps someone to serve until a special election at the next statewide cycle (i.e., a midterm or...
