Alternate Parliaments Thread

Here is a place to post alternate parliaments.

Here is an alternate parliament for an independent England (no acts of union).

The largest party is the Conservative Party led by David Cameron with 288 seats. The Tories are still a centre-right and economically liberal party.

The second largest party is the Socialist Party led by Jeremy Corbyn with 140 seats. The Socialists in ATL are more left-wing than Labour and are pretty hardline Marxist. The Socialist party is republican.

The third largest party is the centrist Liberal Party led by Nick Clegg with 86 seats. The Liberals are similar to the Liberals in OTL, even attracting some more centre-left members of the Socialist Party into their ranks.

The fourth largest party is Vanguard led by Nigel Farage with 25. Vanguard is pretty far-right, monarchist and strongly traditionalist.

The fifth party is the environmentalist Green Party led by Caroline Lucas. The Greens are very similar to the Greens OTL but are more centrist in economic policy.

Is there a site you can use to generate the right number of dots (i.e. give you 650 dots for the makeup of the UK House of Commons)?

Two points of difference here. The introduction of PR in the late nineties and a Labour split creating a UKIP of the left.

Parties

Conservatives: Leader: Tim Yeo. With the introduction of PR making a UKIP rise possible, with Ken Clarke’s election to the leadership in 2001 meant that those Eurosceptic MPs who might previously stayed put, rapidly defected. Now led by Tim Yeo, the Tories have took a firm hold on the middle ground. With the countries left splintering, and many still uncertain about the future of the economy the country has responded to the Conservatives One Nation message, though they have had to reach out to UKIP to secure a workable majority.

UKIP: Leader: Suzanna Evans. Much the same as in OTL, they are considered the natural coalition partners of the Tories with most of their MPs being former Tories. The price of coalition however was the removal of Nigel Farage, who was considered too extreme and was replaced by the more moderate Evans.

Labour: Leader: James Purnell. Following the exit of the more socialist members of the party in the early 2000’s and the Tories spiralling into disarray the Labour party was able to hold the centre ground through two parliaments. But now, with the country responding to One Nation Conservatism and those who view Labour as becoming Tories mark two, switching to the Liberals, James Purnell will have his work cut out if he wants to retake Number 10.

The Liberals: Leader: Norman Lamb. With the Continuity Liberals finally folding, Norman Lamb, took the opportunity to rebrand the Liberal Democrats and hark back to the heyday of Gladstone and Lloyd George. The Liberals main support comes from those who cannot tolerate either Labour’s Conservative light nature or the UL’s extreme Socialism.

United Left: Leader: John Cryer. Founded by members of the Socialist Campaign Group and Trade Union officials who felt the Labour party was drifting too far to the right, the party rapidly swallowed members of the Socialist Workers Party and other minor leftist parties. While many consider the name to be a misnomer, the party is gradually making headway in what has long been considered safe Labour seats

The Greens: Leader: Jenny Jones. Again, much the same as OTL, the Greens main support base can largely be found on university campuses.

Scottish National Party: Leader: Kenny Macaskill. With the Liberals, the Greens and the UL, holding fast to the non-nationalist parts of their manifesto, the SNP has seen its growth stunted. With the successive leaderships of Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon promising a national surge that has yet to materialise, the party has called on the level headed Macaskill to reunite and rebuild the party at a more patient pace.

Nationalist Block: Made up of Northern Irish parties and Plaid Cymru, these parties have suffered much the same fate as the SNP and struggle to make much headway in parliament

This year's General Election if the 2013 boundary changes were successful.

Tories would've still won a majority with 316 seats (including the Speaker)
Labour would be reduced to just 211 seats
Lib Dems will be cut to 6 seats
SNP will be 49 - 7 short of the actual 2015 results

I'm having problems seeing the images if they are linked to directly from the generator site itself. Anything hosted elsewhere is fine.

Actually, this is going to be handy for my Reds vs. Blues TL - thanks for pointing this out. :)

Three quick questions: Are the Lib Dems in coalition or confidence and supply with Labour? Wouldn't Labour lose seats overall if Plaid make such big inroads? And is Bercow still Speaker?

Oh right. I forgot which side is the government's in the Commons. I'm guessing the replacement Speaker is Lindsay Hoyle (one of Bercow's deputies currently)?

Before the upcoming General Elections on May 1901, let's recap the composition of Cámara de los Delegados, the lower chamber of Cortes de la Junta General, from the very first nationwide elections back in 1875.

Legend:
BLUE: Partido Progresista
RED: Frente Insular (pre-1889); Partido Socialista Filipina (post-1889)
ORANGE: Independents (pre-1889); Partido Nacionalista (post-1889)
GREEN: Independents (since 1892)

Sparrow Avengers TL, 2000s Slovakia...

Slovenská národná rada v ranom 21. storočí (English).png


A random diagram for the Slovak National Council (Parliament of the Slovak Republic) from my Sparrow Avengers TL. This shows the status of the parliament during a particular period in the 2000s. Unlike the OTL parliament, this ATL one has 140 MPs.

A lot of the smaller parties actually compose various alliances and blocs with each other, but unlike in the case of the Democratic Union Party and the Liberal Regionalist Bloc, they have not merged together into one party (the German, Hungarian, Jewish and Romani parties in particular see no point in this, since they are comfortable with having their own parties). Also: Look ma', no nationalists ! ;)


(Note on "Sublime Party of the Healthy Democratic Centre - Deliverance by Loony Paulie": A surprisingly successful joke party founded by a popular comedian, voted in by disillusioned protest-voters :eek: :D)

House of Commons following the 2023 Election after the 2022-23 Budget fail to pass. A vote of no-confidence against Osbourne successfuly passes with a snap poll held in May 2023.

Labour under Yvette Cooper runs an anti-austerity campaign and manage to secure a majority in the Commons for the first time in 18 years. She then becomes Britain's 2nd female Prime Minister after Conservative Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990)

Labour largest party with 349 seats, led by Yvette Cooper, majority of 26. 81 seat gain
Conservatives, led by George Osbourne, loses election and reduced to just 216 seats (resigns after election). 28-seat loss
Liberal Democrats led by Tim Farron, loses 19 seats and reduced to just 23 (same as above)
Scottish National Party led by Nicola Sturgeon loses 21 seats after backlash from Scotland
Northern Ireland with 18 seats (DUP the largest party with 8)
UKIP led by Nigel Farage with 1 seat
Plaid Cymru led by Leanne Wood suffers a wipeout and is reduced to 3 seats.
Green Party led by Natalie Bennett. Fails to make any impact with only 1 seat.
