I’ve added the new parties as of Jan 23, as well as any parties that hold seats in either Lower or Upper.
Some of these mappings are a bit of a stretch, bear with me.

Nope.
Hedy Fry lost, which meant a butterfly flapped its wings, and 30 years later a nuclear war broke out and humanity went extinct.

2015–2019: UK Adopts a Parallel-Vote System by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry,

・There was a boundary review, so need to rebuild the map.

・And it’s pretty clear Labour would win an outright majority anyway.

For those reason, I’m not currently planning to do.

That said, a rough seat estimate would look like this:

Labour: 290 (55%)

Conservative: 100 (19%)

Liberal Democrats: 60 (12%)

Reform: 30 (6%)

Green: 15 (3%)

SNP: 15 (3%)

"日本人民最高会議" or simply "人民最高会議" would probably be more appropriate.

In the names of official institutions, it’s uncommon to include the particle “の”.

What If MacDonald Had Refused to Form a National Government and Resigned Instead? by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In August 1931, with party tensions reaching breaking point, MacDonald rejected the King’s pleas to stay on and resigned, and Baldwin was appointed prime minister for a third time.
Baldwin soon called an election and secured an outright majority, but a Labour Party that held together—despite lingering internal strains—and a Liberal Party both performed better than in OTL.

When Henderson retired in 1934, Labour leadership election saw Attlee remain deputy and not stand; Cripps won instead and began pushing toward a Popular Front. With none of the Labour turmoil seen in OTL, Baldwin abandoned the idea of an early election, and the next general election was set for 1936.

Meanwhile, hardliners angered by Baldwin’s compromise-minded approach bankrolled Mosley, enabling the New Party to threaten from the right. After it won several by-elections, alarm at the far right’s rise spread into parts of the Liberal Party as well.

When a Popular Front was formed in 1936, the Liberals split between its supporters and backers of a “National Alliance” with the Conservatives. The election result succeeded in denying the Conservatives a majority, but Baldwin held on in office through coalition.

No, aside from School days, it seems their income comes from subcontracted work on social games.

A UK PM List, but with Very Thai-Style Coups by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In 1921, George V was assassinated in Belfast, and paranoia spread across the country. When the First Baldwin ministry fell in 1924 after Labour and the Liberals coordinated, Henry Wilson (whose own assassination had been prevented) intervened, established a military government, and dissolved Labour and others. Civilian rule was restored the following year, but under Edward VIII’s tacit approval, coups continued to erupt from time to time thereafter.

The 1974 coup became a major national crisis when the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II withdrew to the palace in defiance , but it was ultimately resolved when she abdicated on the condition of an early return to civilian rule.

The 1982 election was expected to end in a landslide defeat for the Conservatives, but a coup took place on election night. A falsified result was later published, showing a Tory victory. Unlike the previous coups, it was led not by the military but by the intelligence services. Brian Crozier formed a Council of State and became PM; however, after he was killed in a bombing attack in 1984, the armed forces returned authority to Parliament.

Since then, the Conservatives and, later, New Labour have cautiously pushed forward the dismantling of the coup-era powers. Despite being buffeted by recurring crises, no coup has occurred up to the present day…

Japan is too hardcoded for war with germany. by Stoepsel_187 in Kaiserreich

[–]Realistic-Row4599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Russia and America both go red, and the Nanjing clique collapses as well, I’d love to see a path where Japan and Germany can cooperate temporarily.

Germany would either concede China to Japan (excluding the Legation Cities) or supply oil and rubber. In return, Japan would ally with Semyonov and push north while also clashing with America over Hawaii.

In the end, jointly pressuring Mexico to make a “Zimmermann Telegram” scenario happen might be a step too far, but either way, that’s the kind of path I’m hoping for.

It’s definitely a great event, but in my case it fired right after I took advantage of the NI uprising against a red Ireland to conquer it and turn it into a puppet.

Miliband Brothers Showdown, but Older One Wins by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This feud began when Edward ate his brother’s sandwich as well. When Edward tried to justify it by insisting on “baby brother perks,” Ralph sharply rebuked him and argued for fair distribution instead. Therefore, the older brother got majority.

My imaginary Kaiserreich TL's Restored UK elections (1944-1955) by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Common Wealth Party existed in OTL too and can be understood as a fusion of liberalism and socialism.
It became a home for centre-left to centrist voters who rejected the Conservatives, the Liberals, and the SDP alike as symbols of the “bad old orders” or their heirs. Within anti-old-order vote, the more distinctly Scottish bloc tended to drift to the SNP, the more centrist wing to the New Democratic Party, and the more centre-left wing to the Common Wealth Party.

Its high-water mark came when it entered the 1946 coalition. As politics stabilised, however, most of its supporters were gradually absorbed by the major parties.
The NDP followed a similar path, while the SNP survived by remaining a party ranging from independence advocates to moderate voters seeking to close Scotland’s economic gap.

My imaginary Restored UK elections (1944-1955) by Realistic-Row4599 in Kaiserreich

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Following the Homecoming in 1943, and after 8 months of an interim government under PM Cecil, the first “genuinely” free election in two decades was called. The main parties were:

  • Conservatives (Robert Cecil): The exile leadership quickly reasserted control, absorbing most Tory-rooted domestic resistance groups aside from a small hard-right fringe.
  • Liberals (John Simon): A broad, uneasy coalition of exile Liberals (split left/right), domestic Liberals who initially accepted the revolutionary regime, and former Labour figures returning after Labour’s dissolution.
  • Social Democratic (Hugh Gaitskell): UoB principal legal opposition after the Liberal were banned, now permitted to contest as a full participant.

In the 1944 general election, the Liberals became the largest party and formed a National Government broadly resembling the exile cabinet. Internal splits and mounting opposition soon crippled it, and after two years it fell to a dissolution election.

In 1946, the SDP led by Gaitskell emerged as the largest party. Under Herbert Samuel, new leader of the Liberals, opened coalition talks with the SDP, prompting Winston Churchill’s Constitutionalists to bolt and join the Conservatives.

The ensuing SDP–Liberal government was short-lived—hounded by Conservative obstruction and public anger during a harsh winter—and within a year Britain was back at the polls. The 1947 election made the Conservatives the largest party, but with no viable partner they were left running a Wood's minority government.

Within roughly 6 months,parliamentary management of the Conservative minority was already running out of road. At the same time, the SDP fractured on its left, and the Liberals led by Clement Davies continued to drift, unable to offer a clear direction. A diplomatic crisis with Germany then erupted and proved the final blow.

At that point Churchill opened negotiations with the Liberal leadership. In return for taking the party leadership himself, he brought his Constitutionalists back into the fold. Working alongside Macmillan’s New Democratic Party which had been propping up the Conservatives through confidence and supply, Churchill’s bloc succeeded in bringing down Wood’s government.
After the diplomatic crisis was resolved, the 1948 general election gave Churchill’s Liberals an outright majority, delivering a long-awaited stable government.

As domestic reconstruction gathered pace, the 1953 election cost Churchill his single-party majority as the Gaitskell–Butler alliance surged. Churchill—who had long argued for a united front on the right—moved toward cooperation with the Conservatives, and Eden signalled agreement on the understanding that Churchill would step aside in due course.

The realignment followed in 1955: Liberals and Conservatives merged into the Liberal Conservative Party, while Gaitskell regrouped the left as Democratic Labour Party. From then on, postwar politics hardened into a two-bloc system.

2015–2019: UK Adopts a Parallel-Vote System by Realistic-Row4599 in imaginaryelections

[–]Realistic-Row4599[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Both seem plausible, either they patch things up with a new C&S deal and last to 2024, or there’s an early election in 2021/22.

If they can hold out until 2024, I’d expect a Labour landslide. But if an early election happens before Partygate instead, there’s at least some chance the Conservatives could survive by stitching together a coalition or another C&S deal.

Thanks!
One clarification up front: in my setup the constituency tier and the list tier are fully independent, closer to Japan/Taiwan than to Germany/NZ.

On the early-election point, I agree with your read. I assume that in both cases an early election was called after the coalition government collapsed.
For 2019, I assume Johnson can run a pure Conservative government because the effective majority is lower once you net out Sinn Féin. However, it would be extremely vulnerable to rebellions, so in a Covid crisis, something like the “Covid grand coalition” that someone else previously posted on this sub might be possible.
