  1. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    This might be counted as current politics, though I have posted similar infoboxes in this thread or its predecessor before. It is just two IRL elections but counted up a different way. I suspect this is the first time the Tories have won Cheshire since 1992, though 2010 was perhaps a win.

    Cumbria only borders Lancashire in the North West region; given the decision not to cross regional boundaries, and given Cumbria is too big for 5 seats and too small for 6, the link with northern Lancashire is inevitable. It's only Morecambe being linked with Cumbria, not Lancaster.

    West Essex (/ˈɛsɪks/) is a county in the London-Metropolitan Province, one of five in the province. It borders Essex to the east, Middlesex to the west across the River Lea, London to the south-west and shares a short land border with North-West Kent at North Woolwich. The county town is...

  6. What if Gordon Brown called a snap election in 2007?

    Polls can change over a long campaign; see 2017. Admittedly Brown might have avoided running into any "bigoted women" in 2007 but he might have been as wooden as May. With no Cleggmania (Campbell was still leader) the Tories might have had a better crack at the West Country Lib Dem seats.

    So too I imagine is Strange, given James Grout died in 2012. Their deaths have been butterflied away.

    So near, so far (8 votes) (Wrong city, it scans all wrong. Now if only it had been "WOLV-ER-HAMP-TON, it was the first time that we met"...)

    Satire! "With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago."

    Why do Americans presume George III was their oppressor? He had some sway over the appointment of Governments, but the choice of the Commons would generally prevail; he didn't veto any Bills passed by Parliament (no monarch had since 1707). Your beef was with a Parliament passing bills that had...

    I didn't think about it too greatly, but they have clearly been the dominant party from 1800 to the present day. Even if the believed in the Bill of Rights and all that in 1800 they must have moved towards a position of authoritarian control by the 21st Century. Maybe the Bill of Rights has been...

    POD: The Adams administration wields the Sedition Act more ruthlessly, and does for scandalmongers like Callender. Jefferson and Madison are unmasked as writing the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, and probably go to chokey too. Adams wins in 1800 and the Federalists cement their position. In...
