I'm starting this timeline again. I've not been happy with it, and have a few ideas to liven it up.
There have also been mistakes that have been staring me in the face.
- I picked a Duchess as the heir to the Scottish Throne due to the changes in the Scottish succession laws. Princess Margaret, the Queens sister was born in Glamis, very much in Scotland.
- I have the building work happening and escalating too quickly for the Scottish Central Bank.
- I bring up social problems in Glasgow and then ignore them after the election.
- With hindsight, creating the Ulster National Party was a mistake.
- I've not done enough of English/Welsh politics, and am considering expanding it further afield(although only when required).
- I'm not fully happy with the budget I put through from the SNP.
- I mentioned trouble in Brixton and then ignore it.
All in all there are these and other issues I think I must work on. I also intend to bring photos into the timeline, although not excessively, as they can help illustrate the mood.
All help appreciated for the new timeline.
Few ideas for you.
With Ulster Vanguard and the DUP around it is likely that atleast one or both would campaign for an independent Ulster.
So I think the Ulster National Party bit was a good idea.
Many in Ulster at this point would support independence.
An interesting aspect would be the decline of the UUP with its more ardent wing joining the UNP and eventually a civil war in Ulster with Irish troops crossing the border to intervene.
Frank Hansfords-Miller's English National Party may start doing well at the time if Scotland leaves the union.
The National Front may well join the ENP.
John Tyndall National Front Chairman at the time said in the 1990's should Scotland leave the Union then the then BNP would become the ENP.
So we could be talking a party with 17,000 or so members getting some very good by-election results.
This of course would mean a Scottish National Front of around a 1000 members.
Here is a by-election list you will need.

As you can see an English Nationalist NF or one merged with the ENP is going to get some huge results in Thurock, Walsall, Rotherham etc.
The Conservative Monday club may well turn fully to English Nationalism at this point.
You could see the return of Enoch Powell from Ulster with a new cause.
One things for sure Heath would be in a very vunerable possition.
It is just possible that Thorpes Liberals may well come out in favour of English Independence too.
The SNP definatly wouldnt join the EEC at the time.
You could see Irish parties standing in N Ireland.
I would think it is a good chance that the Scottish voting system would change to that of Ireland.
I would leave the monarchy aspect alone at that time.
I dont think any of the parties would have tampered with that aspect at that time.
Very good time line.
Ohh and add some pictures.
