Oh no, he had a Facebook page and everything, he was definitely a far right nutjob.

Are you saying that the board voting is just coincidence or are you using these as an aid? What are you trying to do in your TL, because if you try and use the votes to write it for you then you're going to have a lot of trouble in both maintaining interest and having an ASB-free TL.

Wow i stand corrected, any chance of a link for interest sake.

But yeah bassically i am using the results, from these elections to be the basis of my timeline, then creating a TL for the results to be plausible and the effects of them.

It got moved, now I can't find it. I remember the guy linking to a lot of Mail and Express articles though.
 
What was his FB name?

He changed it, take from everyone on the board, the guy was a racist.

Anyway, if you want my advice then don't try to make something like this. Instead, try and find a POD that interests you or a certain politician that interests you and create a TL that revolves around a change in their life i.e. What if Tony Benn's elder brother survived or what if the Thatcher government held an election in 1982 as David Owen suggested to Alan Clark (although it was to weaken the Liberals and allow him to take over the SDP as well as make the Conservatives too powerful for Labour to do anything on their own). Doing something like this requires large amounts of research to give you a proper perspective in how to get these results.

Welp shit.

Fuck it how do you delete threads.

You shouldn't need to, it does help show how political alignment changes when it comes to different leaders i.e. the Liberals on the board being more likely to support 50s-70s Tories but the Tories not being so, but if you still want to do a TL then try and look into a period that interests you most.

For example, I first got into "A Great Third Way" by doing my own version of another TL but I as did more and more research, I wanted to focus more on Bottomley and the impact he could have had rather then his party or the National Party, the result was a more focused 'patriotic labour" party along with other changes and the use of introducing something that looks like it could change the game (a larger Communist and Fascisti Party) but then having them not go anyway since that's how history sometimes works.

Continuing from before, only one thread to not flood the page.

I warned you about these when you carpet bombed the Forum with the first set. I guess the warning and the locking of ALL of the first set wasn't sufficient.

Lets see if this is more noteworthy.

Kicked for a week.
