  1. The Dawn Did Break, and She Went Home - a Hungarian TL
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    heat no heat yes Prologue Where Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland or Czechoslovakia had strong opposition movements lead by charismatic figures, Hungary had a gaggle of competing circles of intellectuals. As really existing socialism became increasingly untenable, the task of reform fell...

  2. AHC: Make Berwick-upon-Tweed Scottish

    The town of Berwick-upon-Tweed was once disputed territory between England and Scotland, and even today it retains cultural links to Scotland and there are voices advocating for it to be made part of Scotland rather than England. With a POD after 1950, make this happen.

  3. WI: UKIP won either of the Eastleigh/Heywood by-elections?

    In 2013, UKIP surprisingly came only 2,000 votes behind the Lib Dems in the Eastleigh by-election. A year later, in 2014, they lost the Heywood and Middleton by-election to Labour by only 600 votes. What might have happened had they won either of those by-elections?

  4. TLIAM: When the Nation Falls

    Credit to @Comisario for this excellent graphic. Someone's done with exams. Yep. Shouldn't you celebrate by working on Paper Doves? Remember Paper Doves? I don't, actually. I'm not terribly happy with how Paper Doves turned out and besides, this is a better idea. *looks up* Wait... that title...

  5. Vignette: The Awakening

    I mean, I'm a bit of a socially awkward nerd and I know it, but I didn't think I'd fallen quite so far as to have nothing better to do on a Friday night than to go to some bloody panel discussion organised by the Young New Democrats. 'You don't have to party all the time, mate. Besides, it beats...

  6. WI: Lucien Bouchard died in 1994?

    In 1994, Bloc Quebecois leader Lucien Bouchard contracted necrotising fasciitis and had to have his leg amputated. He survived and went on to almost lead the Yes side in the Quebec independence referendum of 1995 to victory. Now, what if something had tragically gone wrong and Bouchard had...

  7. WI Democrats take back Congress in 1996?

    What if the polls were a bit more optimistic for Bob Dole in 1996, and the GOP didn't decide to put all their efforts into maintaining their Congressional majorities? Could the Democrats have narrowly taken back Congress on Clinton's coattails, and what would have it meant for Clinton's second term?

  8. WI: Liberal Wipeout in 1970

    The 1970 general election was a disaster for the Liberal Party - they went from 12 to 6 seats - but it could have been even worse, because of those 6 seats, 3 - North Devon, Roxburgh, Selkirk and Pebbles and North Cornwall were held by very small majorities. What if the Liberals had lost those 3...

  9. Paper Doves in Flight: Poland & The World After Communism

    Really? What. You're writing a wikibox TL. About Poland, of all places. Nobody's going to read this, m8 We'll never know until we try, darling. And anyway, it's not just about Poland. Read the title. I'm just saying, this taking off is about as likely as Poland ever going into space. Okay...

  10. AHC/WI: PM Peter Shore

    Is there a plausible POD to make Peter Shore leader of the Labour Party and then Prime Minister? How might his left-wing nationalist politics translate into Labour policy?

  11. AHC: Finlandised Poland

    With a POD at any time after September 1, 1939, make it so that Poland is as politically independent after being liberated from the Nazis by the Red Army as Finland was in OTL.

  12. WI No Bush in 2000

    What if George W. Bush didn't run for the Republican nomination for President in 2000, either due to losing the 1994 Texas governor election or for any other reason? Who would the strongest contenders be, and how might they do against Al Gore?

  13. Romney 2008 - who runs in 2012?

    Let's say Mitt Romney somehow got the Republican nomination in 2008 and lost to Obama (probably by a larger margin than McCain did OTL). In that scenario, what might the 2012 GOP primary be like?

  14. WI: Robert Winters defeats Pierre Trudeau

    During the 1968 convention of the Liberal Party of Canada, Pierre Trudeau won the leadership despite opposition from some in the party, who supported either Robert Winters or Paul Hellyer. Many expected one of them to drop out and endorse the other to unite the anti-Trudeau vote. In the end...

  15. AHC: Save the Polish Left

    Hello! This is my first time here, so I hope I'm using all the acronyms right :) Now, I'm aware that this may be something of a fringe subject here, but I guess it's worth a try to see if anyone here is interested. Left-wing parties have been marginal in Polish politics for the last decade...
