Political Games Forever

Birmingham Westminster Election – 1987, by Treasurer of the PC, has now been added to the scenarios page for our British election game simulation.

From the scenario designer: “Birmingham, the “Second City of the United Kingdom”, has gone through a further new wave of immigration in the 1980s, ranging from Ireland to non-Commonwealth countries like Somalia. This has caused serious unrest in the city, culminating in the Handsworth race riots in 1981 and 1985. With Neil Kinnock’s re-invigorated Labour, surely the people of Birmingham will reject Thatcher’s hopes for a third term.”

Conservative Leadership – United Kingdom – 1990, by Treasurer of the PC, has now been added to the scenarios page for our British election game simulation.

From the scenario designer: “By 1989, Prime Minister Margaret’s Thatcher’s leadership was coming under attack from her own party’s MP’s, over her controversial reforms on taxation, introducing the Community Charge, or more infamously known as the “Poll Tax”. After already contesting a leadership challenge in 1989 but winning with ease, Margaret Thatcher faces a really tough test against 3 of her own cabinet ministers.”

United Kingdom – 2010, by Tom Hughes, has now been added to the scenarios page for our election game simulation. (Note: this scenario is designed forPresident Forever 2008 + Primaries.)

From the scenario designer: “The passing of Queen Elizabeth II came as a shock and great sadness to many. However, it also sparked a debate on the future of the monarchy, a debate that Prince Charles and the monarchists lost. Now, Britain goes to the polls for the first time ever to elect a President.”
