Kais Starmer idk

It’s actually just “what if only members of a political party bothered voting”-Labour has the most members (432 thousands) so it would win a mega majority under FPTP rules.

 

[kratostatic]

Ah, I see!

I suspect that if you did this a few years ago the SNP would have broken it - they'd be on more than 59 seats.

I wonder what the discourse would be on Corbyn there. On one hand, he doesn't have the positive high of the upset denying May a majority so he never proved his wing of the party could deliver, on the other hand Labour couped him and went on to a historic disaster. And of course he wouldn't have been in the spotlight long enough for his bigger issues or the lack of coherence in his program to become relevant.

The other PoD if you can spot it is Leanne Wood managing to become First Minister via a Fuck Labour coalition with the Conservatives and UKIP before it falling apart in less than a month and Labour returning to power in the Welsh Assembly after a snap election,with Wood and PC being discredited for a while as well as the Tories and UKIP in eyes of the Welsh nationalists and unionists respectively,leading to Abolish the Assembly having a small victory.

One of the ideas I had with the Lewis leadership is him being forced to resign due to making the same horrible statements like OTL before remembering that May called an election in 2017 because she couldn’t pass the budget so I changed things a bit. Lewis is meant to be the Continuity Corbyn candidate/leader so he gets discredited by default a little,but not that much.

Keir resigns because he publicly supported Norway style Brexit in the second referendum and lost and thus has to leave because of the Corbyn precedent.

@Time Enough @Walpurgisnacht In the scenario of both JFK and LBJ dying in ‘63 and Wallace narrowly winning the Dem Nomination against Hump (as well as Barry Goldwater still being GOP candidate),which anti Wallace Democrat would be the Third Party/Independent candidate in protest?

At first I thought of Hump but in this scenario Wallace already beat him so he might be damaged goods and RFK is still grieving.

I think Wayne Morse or Eugene McCarthy could be decent bets.

Maybe Philip H. Hoff if people convince him that it would be good for America etc.

@Time Enough @Walpurgisnacht

One of the plans I have for A Thing is Vergil Hîncu,renowned quack and mad scientist/doomsday prophet, becoming President after the long awaited mass earthquake he always talked about actually happens in 2004 (like it nearly did OTL,literally one hour before the general elections) and he gets elected on the single issue that matters at the moment,only for him to realize that he doesn’t actually have a plan beyond earthquake related stuff.

Incidentally,OTL he never actually had a plan to deal with the massive earthquake he talked about beyond “nuke the whole county of Vrancea” and “idk,hide,pray to God and acknowledge me as a genius and give me the Nobel Prize”.

God Romanian politics is…something. Almost every political scenario seems to be ‘Evil and Corrupt’ versus ‘Wacky and Corrupt’ and often Wacky, Evil and Corrupt wins.
