In the discussion on current events in Bolivia, the American Revolution came up. BlackMage said that from the British POV, the Colonies were low on the priority list for representation, since Liverpool and Manchester did not have any MPs and only 5% of the population could vote.
I said that Liverpool and Manchester should have joined in, and that got me thinking.
What if the American Revolution spread to Britain itself? "No taxation without represenation" could apply to much of Britain in addition to the 13 Colonies.
