I tried searching for similar threads but the search function was playing up for me. There probably have been threads along these lines, but I couldn't find any. Anyway, I've long-since been fascinated with Richard Nixon. He had a rather impressive rise to power, being Vice President age 40...

I'm pretty sure one of the European courts has had an issue with this. Anyway, it'd be political anathema to get rid of this, given the British appetite for 'tough on crime'. A Labour government would fear serious repurcussions especially, because they've always had problems perhaps trying to...

Thing of a POD that could get Thande permanently banned from AH.com, without venturing into ASB territory.

Thanks for the anarcho-capitalist flag! It looks great, and I like what you've added to the design, makes it look better, more involved! :D

Was wondering if someone could do me a flag for a fictional terrorist organisation. They're called Soldiers of Freedom (SF for short), and are an anarcho-capitalist 'freedom fighting' group. So, basically, a yellow/white/black tricolour would be great, with yellow on top, white in the middle and...

Can volcanoes erupt indefinitely? We need a geologist here!

For the record, I read these and enjoy them! :) Some motivation for 'ya.

Interesting. The idea of Nick Griffin in prison warms my heart.

President Kennedy! :D

Let's say that in early 2009, a Cabinet coup was successful in forcing a Labour leadership election replacing Gordon Brown with David Miliband. How would this have affected the 2010 general election? Were Labour doomed to failure anyway; was a sympathy vote for Gordon Brown a factor in the...

So John Smith will be the first Labour prime minister in thirteen years, but only for five years. Will he be replaced by another Labourite, or a Tory?

Looks very interesting! Perhaps a Labour government as early as 1995?

Somewhat surprised to see Hague back in power. But still, this just makes me think, if only. :P

Some feel that Thatcher's downfall in 1990 came perhaps too early (or too late). What would be the latest possible date for her resignation, with relatively acceptable PODs and nothing too ASB. Maybe, if she somehow survived November/December 1990, or the putsch never happened in the first...

What Ian said. I'd expect the Labour third term government to only stagger onto around 1980 before the majority/minority is diminished and a fourth election in six years is called, leading to a Tory win under Whitelaw.

Who would have been the best candidate of the Labour Cabinet to challenge Gordon Brown in replacing Tony Blair? Jack Straw said he was tempted to do so, before deciding against it and leading Brown's campaign. He talked to others, too -- Harriet Harman, David Miliband, Alan Johnson...

Don't worry that joke isn't lost on everyone. ;) Personally I find that a rather unusual name for an Amerifootball team.

1997: John Smith (Labour) [1] 2000: Donald Dewar (Labour) [2] 2004: Michael Portillo (Conservative) [3] 2008: Michael Portillo/David Davis (Conservative) [4] [1] John Smith and a modernized Labour Party win the General Election bringing an end to 18 years of Conservative rule with a comfortable...

One would have to be quite the monarchist to capitalise 'Her' and 'She' when referring to the Queen :P Okay it appears that way in official text and legislation, but I wouldn't think it'd be used on an informal alt-his forum.

Well it wouldn't have happened in Pakistan due to the Islamic Republic being formed. Also I think the National government in South Africa became a republic as part of its Apartheid policy and the international reaction to this. Perhaps if the UK offered some kind of 'bonus aid' to African...
