In a world where there is no restoration how exactly does Fox exist considering he was a direct descendant of one of Charles II's bastards (additionally without a monarch he would likely remain conservative in his politics due to no Royal Marriage Act)? I'm also confused how the Whig names...

I have some questions regarding the material: -The basic premise, assuming I've not been misreading, is that George III's 'absolutist' tendencies are here used in defence of the American cause and thus antagonise British elites. How exactly does this come about? While George's constitutional...

Would someone perhaps be able to make a clearer version of the following coat of arms in a Wikipedia graphic style, if possible?

Yep, many thanks!

There was an infobox list of Scottish PMs posted here before, could anyone direct me towards it if possible?

Why do the Conservatives not do what they did OTL and block the Home Rule Act in the Lords? The IUA completely splitting off and ensuring it has no mainland allies seems like an awfully extreme action for them to do, I have to say.

I struggle to see how the SDLP wins West Belfast post-1997.

Why is Shelburne Prime Minister ITTL?

Ignoring the WI element of this thread, I think it is quite unlikely that Mitterrand wins the election in 1965, especially with a PoD as close to the election as possible. The matter really is that Mitterrand did about as well as a leftist candidate could do that year, considering how much...

Here's a box I made a while back:

Bute wasn't a Tory and there is no way he could have held his nerve for twenty-years as effective Prime Minister. He only came to power OTL as a result of certain circumstances and the strong support and favour of the young George III. Without that he's just a failed former Scottish...

TTL's America is a great argument for the runoff system.

By any chance is there a non-Wikipedia style map of the House of Commons constituencies post-1832 Great Reform Act here?
