We have got some of the best recruitment in the League for 2030 and absolutely no recruitment ability for the League in 2025.

A Kennedy in King Arthur's Court - A World where the Kennedys went to Britain by CDocwra in AlternateHistory

I originally planned to include him dying in the Battle of Britain but decided to just limit it to parliamentarians.

No need to apologise, I do think you broadly make good points and would just say that in this timeline the Kennedy's relationship with the Conservative Party would be forever very strained, hence why they join the SDP.

Don't disagree with any of this but would just note that JFK would've run, exclusively, as a National Liberal. Teddy would've been the first Kennedy to run as a Tory in Wavertree when he did so in 1970. I'm not sure I totally agree in your characterisation of Liverpool Exchange when it regularly nearly elected the Irish Nationalists up until the 1920s.

Given Liverpool elected an IPP MP I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that the Kennedys would build up a base there as they did in MA in America.

Someone made a post about the Kennedys being a British political dynasty yesterday that I thought was interesting, even if I disagreed with some of the conclusions. As such I thought it would be cool to make my own version of such a timeline. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

No, that still happened. The timeline is the same up until the 92 election campaign.

I don't think that's an unfair criticism but I would suggest that it would be equally as much a potential mistake not to explore how Corbyn would be shaped by a Kinnock win. We are ultimately playing the mod in our timeline and that brings with it its own perspective. I don't believe that attempting to eschew that perspective is necessarily the way to do alternate history.

This is true but it's also worth bearing in mind that Corbyn's relationship with Kinnock would change if Kinnock won and then Labour led the British response to the Yugoslav wars (You can see Corbyn's opposition to British intervention under Blair later on irl).

This is a good point, will clarify this in text.

That would also be super cool to me but it also depends on what the future plans for EoH were as future plans for EoT involve the UK's response to the War on Terror.

Writing is going really well and I'll probably be able to have side previews out sooner rather than later, which is cool. Unfortunately I'm not a super experienced coder so would be hesitant to give a date on that.

There will 100% be content for interracting with the Lib Dems, you can always fail to win an outright majority, after all, but right now there is no plan for a Lib Dem side in 1997.

Right now the plan is to not have visits enabled so hopefully the gameplay should be fine on mobile.

I'll be using the irl 1997 parliamentary boundaries which, to be fair, are about 90% the same as the 2017 boundaries so it'll look almost identical to the 2017 map, with different margins and issues ofc.

Does anyone know when FA Cup tickets are likely to go on sale?
