India's economic growth performance has been pretty good, there hasn't been a recession since 1980 and tend growth has been around 6%. In order to match China though it would a growth trend of about 10% in the same period.
The obvious thing to do would be to push back the kind of reforms that...
I was interested when I saw this thread pop-up, but I'm still not sure what the goal is in "de-professionalising" or adopting other training paths?
I'm sure it would be practical to have a path to qualifying as a Doctor or Lawyer (or any other profession) which involves a majority of time...
I guess it's going to depend on what kind of record John McCain has as President, and how the choices he's made have affected America and the world compared to the choices George W. Bush made... also: who's his Vice-President? I don't think any of the GOP candidates in OTL would have been...
When it comes to the moral and political legacy of the Holocaust, I'm tempted to take the Zhou Enlai line - it's too soon to tell. If you think about it, WW2 has loomed over everything that has happened since. If WW2 was not the WW2 we know, then it follows that everything will be somewhat...
PoD: Charles Kennedy had his drinking problem under control by the time of the 2005 election
(1) He most likely would still be the Leader of the Lib Dems in 2010, but that's not a certainty. I think a lot depends on how Charles Kennedy was able to handle the financial crisis from the autumn of...

Actually Marxism / Communism the intellectual tradition generally is committed to social progress and feminism - it sees it as secondary or subordinate to the working class struggle, but you will find Marxists amongst the first people writing in favour of legalised homosexuality, contraception...
I would suggest something along the lines of "A number of elections in which the winner of the electoral college vote is not the same as the winner of the popular vote, hurting both parties" but then, I think frustrating the people's will is really what it was supposed to do...
South Pembrokeshire has for centuries been known as "Little England beyond Wales" so it's not a natural territory for Plaid Cymru. More importantly I think a site in the Milford Haven waterway is not as close to the main population centre of the country as the sites on the Clyde are to Glasgow -...
Do you mean "prevent the fall in birthrate which occurred after the immediate post-war baby boom" or "prevent the fall in birthrates which occurred after the 1960s" ?
The lower in birthrates in the UK from the 1970s onwards are associated with 1) a big loss of economic confidence and...
consequences of an attempted and failed coup:
The military, security and intelligence and policing establishments of the United Kingdom go into a melt-down while they attempt to arrest each other for treason.
It depends if Britain tries to use it as a giant Maunsell fort or not...
my guess would be that Britain would follow the same policy as in the Channel Islands - de-militarise Heligoland and leave the Nazi's to do what they will.
I think it's too small and too close to Germany and too far from...
some suggestions:
The PoD is in the mid-1960s Conservative Party reforms which ended the Unionist Party - keep a Scottish "Unionist" or "Progressive" Party which has an alliance with the Conservatives in England & Wales, but has a separate organisation which is focused on winning in Scotland...
