  1. President Forever and other 270soft games Megathread

    True, perhaps Labour should have slightly more than the ~£9 million they spent for game purposes. That being said, the Tories have spent just over £15m for three GEs in a row, so I feel the £12m they were given in the original PMF was too low. As I say, it doesn't change the results radically...

    Edited funds to reflect actual spending in 2010. Played as Clegg and trounced Cameron and Brown in the debates. Had a fairly realistic election for a change, with the exception of UKIP, who managed to unseat Jack Straw in Blackburn...

  9. What if the conservatives won the 1964 election?

    I don't think a Tory victory in 1964 could have been a majority given the unpopularity of Macmillan, so any victory would be unworkable. I doubt the new government would last very long.

  10. WI: More sporting Berwicks

    There was an idea floated a couple of years ago about Celtic and Rangers joining the English Football League/Premier League. Perhaps if Rangers has managed to stay in a relatively stable financial situation, and the dominance of the two clubs in Scottish was cemented, or somehow even stronger...

    2000 election with McCain... won the primaries against Bush by a small margin, just about getting him to accept my VP proposal so that I could start campaigning for the General Election. New York was a close run thing, and at one point Gore was leading in Texas, which I had sort of ignored...

  12. Thatcher wins 1990 leadership contest?

    Lot's of constitutional change? Lords reform is a given I think, and a change in the voting system could be part of the Lib Dem demands in any coalition agreement.

  13. Thatcher wins 1990 leadership contest?

    The question is, does Major deliver on his referendum? If yes, and Britain votes against Europe, is a europhile Tony Blair likely to win the next election? Also, would this be the same Tony Blair that lost the 1994/1995 election to Major, or did someone else take over as Labour leader following...

  16. What if 1995 Conservative leadership election goes to a second ballot?

    No no, Portillo and Clarke, with Redwood a possibility? If I'm honest, I could see Redwood pulling out of the second ballot to endorse Portillo, which gives him an easy win.

  17. What if 1995 Conservative leadership election goes to a second ballot?

    If Major resigns, I'd suggest the traditional Europhile/Eurosceptic party lines are drawn again. That means Hesseltine and Ken Clarke running on the Europhile ticket, whilst Portillo, Michael Howard and John Redwood opposed on the Eurosceptic ticket. In my opinion, it's a battle between...

  20. WI No Great War in the 1910's (i.e. No WWI)

    Well, Germany knew that for the Schlieffen Plan to work, they could not declare war on Russia any later than 1916. It was at that point, if I remember correctly, that many military generals in Germany believed Russia would overtake the German military as the most powerful on the continent (they...
