A couple of scenarios I'm thinking of, and wondering what the resident Britons' opinions are.
1) Ditchers prevail in the Parliament Act division, 500+ Liberal peers join them in the Lords. Is it possible in that scenario that Home Rule gets sped up? With an overwhelming Liberal Lords majority and ruthless use of both cloture and time allocation the HRA can surely be passed fairly quickly.
2) In that scenario, there's going to be Ulster trouble. Will Asquith flood Ireland with regular troops to disarm the Volunteers, as he seemingly summoned the courage to do by 1914 IOTL? If he does, how bad does it get?
