I'm sure I'll write Ode to Joy one day but it is a mammoth projectWhilst I put Ode to Joy first, I will still be happy to read that.

UKIP will still happen, it's quite a bit shorter than the other two (only covering a couple of years rather than two decades) so I might release it first if I find myself with not enough time to write a full TL but enough time to do a TLIAM. The main idea for Purple Rain was that Nigel Farage stands in the 2013 Eastleigh by-election (UKIP came within 5 points of winning it OTL) with Farage's national profile and bad luck for the Lib Dems and Tories, Farage enters the Commons in 2013, from their UKIP builds to become a proper third party with multiple MPs like the Lib Dems and SNP (I might also say that AV passed in 2011) it will chronicle UKIP's rise to legitimacy and the impact that has on British politicsI would have loved to see the Ukip timeline
What would have been the big ideas of this TL ?
And what is the big idea of your next TL ?
Sorry to bump this thread, but I think the intent of the coup was in fact to keep the monarchy in place. That was why they offered Mountbatten the chance to lead it, because he was a close relative and confidant of the royal family.Would be interesting if it were like a Cambodia situation with the monarchy either going into exile and acting against the junta from foreign countries or leading an internal resistance against the junta. The idea of a Monarchy holdout in Ulster (if I remember correctly Ulster was very very pro-monarchy until the 1990s otl) is even more interesting in this regards.
You might well think that, I couldn't possibly commentLet me get this straight—Mountbatten lives to be 105? Wild, absolutely wild. Needless to say I can’t wait.
v. hypedComing Soon:
A Very British Transition
After nearly 40 years of military rule, the First Lord is dead, the Junta has fallen, the United Kingdom faces an uncertain future. With a divided public, threats of political violence and an agitated military whoever takes over will have a mountain to climb. For the first time since 1966 the British public goes to the polls, the results of this election will set the stage for a new decade of British democracy.

Will the timeline begin with the coup and work its way to the modern day, or will we be drip fed information as we read about the struggles of modern TTL BritainYou might well think that, I couldn't possibly comment
Similar to the Commonwealth the TL will start in media res, on election night 2005. The coup and the Junta years will be background noise as I don't know a huge amount about 60s/70s politics and its fairly ASB. The TL will be mostly about fighting to preserve democracy and all the challenges a new democracy faces.Will the timeline begin with the coup and work its way to the modern day, or will we be drip fed information as we read about the struggles of modern TTL Britain
Yes yes, looking forward to this one.Coming Soon:

I imagine the UK will be quite different considering what the effects of a dictatorship would be - though this all depends on the severity of the dictatorship. Economically, demographically, and in terms of relations with other countries it will be interesting.Similar to the Commonwealth the TL will start in media res, on election night 2005.
