  1. AHC/WI: Republicans win Irish civil war

    Rudda wants to know

  2. AHC/WI: Blair doesn't go into Iraq

    What would have to change to stop Tony Blair from sending British troops into Iraq, and what would the ramifications of this be? One possible scenario is that the cabinet decide that Blair's made the wrong call, and a resignation every hour force Blair to renege, but almost certainly kill his...

  3. AHC: Tories fall into third place

    With a PoD no earlier than 2nd May 1997, find a way for the Conservative Party in the UK to fall to third place in the House of Commons, behind Labour and the Liberal Democrats (or some other party). Please no ASB or any silliness, but you can be adventurous. A Labour/Lib Dem wank is probably...

  4. AHC: Make Tony Benn a prime minister

    Your challenge, with a reasonable POD at some point during his political career, is to make Tony Benn a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. You can change his political opinions - or at least how he presents them - but only to an extent. For instance, you can move him from the hard left to the...

  5. WI: Ed Miliband quits in 2014

    What if, perhaps after a worse than OTL performance in the local and European elections, machinations behind the scenes leads to Ed Miliband being forced into resigning as Labour leader in May 2014. Main questions here are: - Who replaces him? (If you say David Miliband I'll cut you) There's a...

  6. WI: Roy Jenkins stays in Labour and becomes PM in the 1980s

    The premise of this WI is quite simple: Roy Jenkins stays in Labour, becomes leader and then wins a general election in the early 1980s. How we achieve this through PoDs is up to you, but an idea I've seen in a TL before was that Labour wins in 1970, someone else (Callaghan? Castle?) leads the...

  7. WI: Blair died, not Diana

    This is a bit of a dark one but the idea struck me in the shower. What if it were Tony Blair who died in August 1997, instead of Princess Diana? Let's say the circumstances are basically the same: a car crash in the Alma tunnel, Blair rushed to hospital, dies at 3am. Nation wakes up to a dead...

  8. AHC/WI: Blair says 'No' to America Over Iraq

    What if Blair said that Britain would not be deploying troops to the US-led coalition that invades Iraq? So, the main important points here are that the US still attacks Iraq with ground troops (#BootsOnTheGround..), under either a Democrat or Republican president, the war still goes ahead, and...

  9. AHC: Blair sacks Brown

    I realise that this has been suggested before, but what's the best way of achieving the situation where Tony Blair sacks his chancellor and leadership rival Gordon Brown from cabinet? I remember a TL where, after a more successful 2005 election, Brown gets replaced by Alan Milburn, so a...

  10. AHC: Successful England team

    What POD is needed for a more successful England national football team? By 'successful', I mean, winning at least one or two major tournaments since 1966, and more semi-final appearances. One idea I've got would be forcing Premier League clubs to field at least three English players per league...

  11. AHC: Successful impeachment of a US President

    The challenge of this thread is to successfully have an American president dismissed from office by Congress during their term. They cannot resign before the verdict and must be kicked out of the White House kicking and screaming -- or at least, against their consent.

  12. AHC: Make Powell a Prime Minister

    Without copying 'If Gordon Banks had played', and a POD no later than 1965, make Enoch Powell a Prime Minister. Bonus points for making him a long-serving prime minister, winning a couple of elections and leaving office on his own terms.

  13. AHC: Prevent privatisation

    What's the most effective and efficient way of preventing, or at least minimising, the mass-privatisations of state-owned industries in the 80s and 90s, mostly in Britain? This includes mutualising the industries or turning them into co-operatives, instead of a complete sell-off and being...

  14. WI: Thatcher assassination, 1990

    What if, instead of her resigning as she does in OTL, what if she is killed by a small group of ultra-Militant left-wing trade unionists? A small band of say, four or five former miners, who set about to kill her and senior members of the government around the turn of the decade. I could see...

  15. AHC/WI: Kill the Cabinet

    What if the mortar attacks on Downing Street by the IRA in 1991 had killed the Cabinet, which was sitting to discuss developments in the Gulf War? How powerful would the bombs have to be to kill at least 20, 30 people? What would be the ramifications, who would succeed Major as Prime Minister...

  16. AHC: Labour majority in 2010

    What's the most effective way of Labour winning the 2010 general election (or 09) with a majority of at least 1? The earliest POD can be 5th May 2005. Some likely factors could include a longer, more fruitful Blair administration, the Conservatives choosing a risky leader who fails to court...

  17. Major goes to the country

    Apologies if this has already been answered, I tried using the search facility but it isn't so great at working. What if, after the successful Gulf War, John Major goes to the country in the spring of 1991, instead of waiting a year later? Would this lead to a more comfortable Conservative...

  18. WI: Blair losses Iraq War vote

    What if in March 2003, enough Labour backbenches rebelled the whip and Cabinet ministers such as John Prescott, Jack Straw and Robin Cook resigned their posts? Jack Straw predicted that the government would fall, and another election would have to happen. Would Blair win with a rump Labour...
