Kinda, don't want to give away too much.

We'll get there, it's a big update.

Just a brief exert from the work I'm doing at the minute... won't be too long now... (this is the introduction to the next part to be posted) 1903. Joseph Chamberlain stood upon the dispatch box on last time. He was aware, he said to Charles Dilke in 1874, his future Leader of the Senate...

I thought I had mentioned the Slavery Abolition Act, but it seems I've missed it out - ITL, the Slavery Abolition Act is still passed in 1833.

Perhaps, but I think it will take some time. The cleavage between the two camps is sure to be empire - mirroring the Imperialist and Little Englander groups at this time.

In all likelihood, it's probably going to be quite similar in India until the Sepoy Rebellion in 57 - this will be in a period where Foreign Affairs and Colonial Affairs are paramount the substance of the update will be more foreign policy focused

II, VII: Second Age of Peel Robert Peel helped unite the "Liberal" factions in Parliament, but it was an unstable coalition Lets roll back. The date is 13th January 1846, and Queen Victoria had submitted the writs for elections to the Commons, the Provincial Orders and Municipal Councils...

II, VI: The Age of Famine Isaac Butt, Chief Secretary of Ireland The Order elections took a significantly longer time to certify, as the nomination process for the Second Order was complex and in Ireland's case, were now moot by the dismissal of Lord Heytesbury. Leinster wished to find a...

II , V: Age of Duncombe T. S Duncombe, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, first Radical Prime Minister Duncombe would be the Prime Minister, that much was true. But the remaining forces in Parliament organised themselves again around Peel, still unified by Free Trade and their aversion to...

II , IV: First Age of Peel Robert Peel, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom The divisions of the new Parliament represented the new politics of the ratepayer age; both major parties were advocating reform, but the division now became between middle-classes and upper-classes, who believed...

My timeline concentrates will be concentrating on something that mitigate totally the effect of the famine, but does reduce it, meaning that Ireland retains more of its population in a time when it also receives limited autonomy. Worth checking out, hasn't got there yet but will soon!

II , III: Age of Russell The New Parliament, still sitting at Buckingham Palace, reflected this ever-shifting electorate. With fewer seats unopposed, Tories were hurt but continued the trend in the Commons of electing members from the 'Peelite' branch, cannibalising the Blue camp in the...

II , II: Age of Brougham, Part II House of Commons meeting, 1833 The Parliament was recalled for 3rd March with a state opening, and while the Lords would properly come into session a few weeks later, the Commons returned an immediately elected a new Speaker, James Abercromby, to guide the...

II , I: Age of Brougham, Part I Henry Brougham, Leader of the Whigs, 1831-37 There was just a nothingness over London in the morning after the regicide. "Again" was the most used word in the city and in the days that followed, the country. In the streets, people weren't fierce, they weren't...

I would say Ernest Augustus would be the next in line, but the succession would struggle to agree to a popular constitution, which would surely be the condition most of the opposition would put on taking the Crown. As a known Conservative and Reactionary, it’s also fairly certain to say the...

Yes, there'll be some investigations into India, definitely. Although I'm not entirely sure in what format. Would love to know your thoughts As far as I can see, the 'constitutional' process would revert rule to the Privy Council - there would be the question of certain 'compromised' figures...

Any comments or questions would be much appreciated - I’m trying to cover everything but recommendations or considerations for future research topics would be much appreciated to help with the accuracy!
