Despite my political leanings I feel obliged to support anyone caught behind "MILFgate". I dunno why...

Considering he's also a Texan, I'd say next to none.

My knowledge of British politics in this era is admittedly shallow, but from what I can glean from what I do know (such as the Norman Scott situation and Jeremy Thorpe being able to hold on a bit more) it all looks very fascinating..

Fantastic update as usual. This is a wonderful sentence.

Why would that still occur in a TL with a POD in the 18th century? I'm sure that there are other pandemics that have occurred that could be roughly analogous to OTL ones.

Yeah the invasion of Czechoslovakia was just a disaster all around for the Soviets. All that capital they had built up was washed away. Though it did help prove President Johnson's arguments and allowed him to get easily reelected by promising strength and containment against Soviet aggression...

I'm not exactly sure how events could transpire that would allow Moscow to just let go of everything they tightly hold onto. It would go against decades of policy and planning. In such a scenario though I suppose that there is every chance that those Eastern Bloc countries face major instability...

I apologize greatly for the bump/alert, but I wanted to say that I’m very happy that Death of a Republic is being rebooted. I absolutely loved the first version and so far, I’m enjoying this updated version even more. Funnily enough I was thinking about the faceless men from the first thread...

I assume that for the Unionists the "social liberalism" aspect is more of a faction, right? Because some of the people that you have as leaders in the party would not be social liberals if their OTL beliefs are anything to go by. Fantastic stuff in this TL.

Uh wow. That's a lot of Starfleet civilian casualties.
