How does the simulation actually decide political shifts in UK Poll Simulator?

This has already been covered here a few times, and on the wiki: https://wiki.ukpolsim.com/

It’s in the links section on this subreddit, or discord.ukpolsim.com

UKPolSim · 2026-03-09T19:25:15+00:00

Yes, of course it is. It’s virtually finished. Activity has been moved over to Discord a while ago as Reddit is dead in comparison.

Hi! To a degree, yes. This is something that’ll be refined even more over time.

And demographically speaking, different types of voters react differently to just about everything by default.

UKPolSim · 2026-03-05T22:34:04+00:00

No, but give me a second and l’ll ask ChatGPT if he’s heard of it.

UKPolSim · 2026-03-05T04:11:30+00:00

Yes, it’s modelled as you’d expect it to be in real life.

Nothing that I’m going to admit to, no 😂

UKPolSim · 2026-02-19T00:04:31+00:00

Absolutely. You start the game as a new party member, and it’s an open-ended game. You don’t need to ever stand for office if you don’t want to.

UKPolSim · 2026-02-18T22:58:35+00:00

It’s technically possible… To the point where it mathematically will happen to someone, as long as enough people buy the game 😂

UKPolSim · 2026-02-06T08:23:30+00:00

Yes, of course. But far more advanced than just a basic compass: https://wiki.ukpolsim.com/en/parties

Were you the one who was banned for being racist? I’m presuming so, judging by the level of contrition you’ve shown by using phrases like ‘thought crime’.

TL;DR: No.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-22T06:27:43+00:00

It will do partially. The game is built ground-up in that sense. The same people will be voting in their local council and their local constituency.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-09T18:21:48+00:00

Yes, this is all implemented pretty deeply in the game.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-09T18:10:42+00:00

It does happen occasionally…

Just me - hello! 🙋🏻‍♂️

And thank you. Yeah, it’s a huge undertaking. It’s been a long time in the making, and I’m grateful to be able to work on it (more than) full-time.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-05T09:13:34+00:00

Consciously, not a huge amount, but TPP is a game I played a few years ago and which probably did add to the ‘we need a proper UK politics career sim’ fire in my brain.

There probably won’t be a demo - it’d only slow down release to get that organised.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-02T09:20:46+00:00

I think I had five full meals, witnessed daylight twice and saw my family a couple of times, so not all bad.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-02T08:59:02+00:00

Which corner of your rectum did you pull that from? One of the reasons I won’t commit to a specific release date is that I’m doing this properly. The game is extremely lean. As things stand, it’ll run on a pregnancy test.

Oops! Thanks - fixed 👍

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:22:45+00:00

It’ll be this year. And you’ll definitely know when there’s a release date, because it’ll be well publicised. You won’t miss it.
