    Alternate Electoral Maps II

    You don't need to show all of Europe for what are two relatively small countries. It's just a lot of wasted space when you could have done bigger maps with more detail.

    Alternate Electoral Maps II

    This is a rather needlessly demanding and impetuous way of going about asking what you'd like to see next.

    Map Thread XVII

    Even when it 'was' is was an Island by virtue of being in the middle of fenland.

    Map Thread XVII

    Ely isn't an island (despite what the name suggest) :biggrin:

    Map Thread XVII

    Does the South exist ITTL, or is it underwater (not that I'd be upset with the latter, despite living in the South, I'm just curious)? This map speaks a fair bit of truth:

    AHC: Repeal The House of Lords Act 1999

    Yeah and it's simply not going to happen. Once the 1999 Act passed, there was no going back- even the Tories (hardest hit by the Act IIRC) accepted that it was here to stay once it passed, and even proposed further reform to the Upper Chamber. Nothing short of a space bat fluttering its wings...

    Why the name change (and why 'Politibrit' of all things)?

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    If you're going to quote wikipeida to justify the Liberal Party (who notably aligned with the Tories and often presented themselves as the non-socialist alternative to Labour) joining a Popular Front, do read the actual article that notes how and why the party rejected a Popular Front. Not to...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    "Peter Shore is a right-winger" is one of those cliches that never made a lick of sense. And the Liberal's using the Unicorn is a weird too.

    Wikiboxes for Other People's Timelines and Wikibox Request Thread

    Good wikibox but the swings are all wrong; Labour is a +4.0% swing, National is a -4.6% swing, Liberal is a +14.2% swing, Social Credit is a -2.5% swing, Communist is a +4.2% swing, Union is a -4.1% swing, and Home Rule would have a 'steady' symbol as the established percentage points don't...

    Alternate Electoral Maps II

    It would be far easier to visualise the nth county level map if it was accompanied with a state level map, instead of leaving it to the reader to just take a punt at guessing what the results would be.

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    Spoiler: Rhodesia wasn't 'unremarkable' for the native africans living there, and indeed having your country continue to be named after a white supremacist who exploited your people and your land isn't going to be 'on' when it comes to the majority rule.

    PM Salmond and the Era of “The Group”

    Barry McElduff, the Sinn Féin MP for West Tyrone, posted a video of himself with a loaf of Kingsmill (the brand is important) on his head, asking where the shop kept its bread. He posted that video on the 42nd Anniversary of the Kingsmill massacre, in which gunmen belonging to the South Armagh...

    List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Not to be a negative nancy but why do quotes over just some prose explaining what happened? They don't really tell me much of anything in the way of what is happening ITTL beyond some vague idea, and this is one of those lists where proper footnotes would be beneficial (and before anyone...

    List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    If it isn't worth it to put effort into a list, is it worth even making a list? Ignoring of course that Wallace, Anderson, and Perot have much stronger cases for being 'spoilers' than Nader, who unfairly gets more blame than deserved for Al Gore's failure because it gave the Dems a boogie man...

    Thatcher Survives-So Does British Rail

    While I certainly would assume Margaret "BR is one Privatisation too many" Thatcher winning the Leadership in 1990 would be good news for BR, why would- nay, could- she win 1992 (or more likely 1991)? She was unpopular in the country over poll tax, the country was in a swing of a recession that...
