I nominate: Best Cold War to Contemporary Timeline: Al Grito de Guerra: the Second Mexican Revolution; by @Roberto El Rey

Such details, such depth of worldbuilding...

It's praise well-deserved and well-earned to boot! I remember when I first joined that it took awhile for me to actually start writing and I was very very daunted by the prospect that I'd get much feedback, but I like to think we're a supportive community on AH.com, particularly when it comes to...

Having read through the TL in its entirety (so far) the other night, I must say that I am not only impressed by the level of work & detail you've put into this project, @Enigma-Conundrum, but I'm also enraptured by it. I utterly adore the 1970s as a time of political experimentation, a time when...

Shore isn't going to be a potential Gaitskellite successor; he was a man of the Tribune left rather than Gaitskell's social democrats. Gaitskell is probably less adept at handling the factional disputes within Labour at this time, as demonstrated by OTL during his time as leader in opposition...

Happy Birthday Wolfram!

I was more making the point that Heseltine as Deputy PM had no more right to serve as the next PM than anyone else did on a constitutional level.

Deputy Prime Minister isn't a constitutional position though; it doesn't grant the nearer any kind of authority and is typically amongst other offices the bearer holds to allow them to sit in cabinet, a government role, salary, etc. I'm fairly sure that a vignette was done by @Meadow around the...

Power to the People..!

I realise that I opened up the topic of someone as decisive as Tony Benn there would likely be the start of an intense debate, though I will admit to my expectations being a bit loftier than some of the comments put forward here. I appreciate a joke or banter as much as any bloke, but I was...

I know there are a few threads on here that ask about how to make the late (and great, to some including myself) Tony Benn PM in the 1980s, however there doesn't seem to be much talk about what his government might look like, the kind of policies it would implement in office, and how successful...

The early 1960s and early 1970s saw the rise of anti-tax movements successfully transitioning into political movements in the Scandinavian nations of Denmark, Norway, and (with less success) Sweden. However, these political movements and their ideologies of economic liberalism combined with a...

This TL has been on my ‘to read’ list for some time and I’ve finally gotten around to reading through it all in the past couple of days during breaks at work & free time at home. This is another fine example of the high-calibration work that one can find on AH.com and my sincere kudos &...

Cross-posting from the other place... This is very much a shot in the dark here, but I'm hoping to get some ideas from learned colleagues and friends on the subject. Suppose that Heath manages to win the Feb. '74 general election with a reduced majority as most of the polling at the time...
