Short term and long term consequences of continued Stuart dynasty post 1688

And interesting, if James II and his successors keep things relatively stable, that should balance things out, of course the bigger the colonies get, the bigger the problem

Also all depend of how the thing elvove in the north american theater and how the relation would elvove with the french.

Very true, during the reign of James II, I imagine things would be fine, he was quite pro-French, his son might be pro-french depending on who he marries and how tense things are with the dutch.
 
Economically, the Glorious Revolution led to Dutch-inspired economic reforms being introduced to England. The first government bonds were issued in 1693, the English stock-market along with the introduction of the Civil List to pay the crown in 1698 were all due to William III. The revolution led parliament to enjoy power over taxation and this would lead to a certain confidence among investors and bond-holders emerging during the 18th century. For instance, Britain often would have more debt than France, but with lower borrowing costs, the government did not face the pressure that France did.

Hmm interesting, though weren't certain measures such as the Royal Bank, and bonds discussed during the reign of Charles I, for the crown to control?
 
An wedding between the son of James II and Anne Marie d'Orléans or Élisabeth-Charlotte d’Orléans, would be plausible.

If we go with the lad being born in 1669, then Anne Marie is certainly the one that I'd go for. Either her, or if butterflies permit a daughter of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa of Spain
 
The first government bond with a fixed interest rate was issued in 1693.

Indeed, I am aware, though the discussions do date back to the reign of Charles I, from what I remember. Could they not be implemented in a country where there was no Glorious Revolution?

It could have, but the specific set of reforms implemented which became the Financial Revolution in England probably would not occur as they did.

Naturally. One would assume that either the King would need to reform the revenue stream, or use his large revenue stream to encourage investment etc
