The UK general election of 1964 was an incredibly close run affair with as Mark Bunny showing in his thread that a switch of only roughly 3,400 votes in 9 marginal constituencies would of swapped our timeline's result around giving the Conservatives rather than Labour a majority of 5 seats, or...

So I don't think it would be too controversial, on this board, to say that there is all kinds of dystopian potential in my home country of the U.S. -- as explored in CSA victories, 1930's fascist TLs, AWOLAWOT, Rumsefeldia, etc -- in large measure because of the noxious legacy of white...

What if Neil Kinnock had won the 1992 UK election and defeated John Major and the Conservatives? Let's say that the result is this(I got this using Electoral Calculus) 1992 UK election results Neil Kinnock-Labour: 337+108 39.2% John Major-Conservative: 264-112 37.6% Paddy Ashdown-LibDem: 24+2...

What if Tony Blair resigned as prime Minister after his heart attack scare in October 2003, or had resigned around that time in 2004? Maybe if the heart attack doesn't work the Hartlepool by-election is won by the LibDems and that could force Blair out? I think @PresidentGore did a TL on this...

The 1954 New Zealand election is not very well known or an important turning point. However, I found it was closer than I thought, with the governing National Party having won the popular vote by just 0.2%. If all seats that National got a majority of 720 or less in Labour under Walter Nash...

Yesterday, Britons voted in an election which elected the Conservative party and took out PM Clegg, with the Labour party loses 30 seats This made me wonder, how could the Labour Party be the primary opposition to the Conservatives?

What if Michael Foot won the 1976 Labour leadership election and became Prime Minister of the UK? What PoD would be needed to achieve this? What would be the effects? Foot would presumably be a shift to the left-how would the Labour Party be effected in this period? I could see a bigger Thatcher...

The Noblest Work “With the sudden death of John Smith, both Britain and the Labour Party have lost a man so mild, so unassuming, so modest, yet so very great,” read the obituary of John Smith in The Times. A bland figure even to his name, once compared to a default character in a video game...

Your challenge, should you accept it, is with a PoD after the 1983 UK election, have Labour win the 1987 UK election. If that's too hard, it can be the 1979 election, but try 1983 first. The election date can be moved back, I'm just saying goes 1987 to make it clear which election it is. This is...

I remember a post I made in the wank labour as much as possible thread. The basic idea is the Conservatives split in the late 1990s and so Blair gets even bigger majorities and a weaker Tory Party is unable to even get into a competitive position by the end of the decade. I'd like to do a TL...
