Treasurer Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 As England 2015 is very close to completion, i have space to fit in a new scenario, after that. I'm putting this over Scotland 2015, for a good few reasons; 1. there's only ever been 3 by-election scenario's officially released (2 British, 1 Canadian). 2. By-elections are much more variable from each other and 3. I still don't have CFE I'll help you choose which one you like the best, with links, and a heading to sum them up. Wirral South 1997 By-election -Labour-Conservative Battle, Tory Government lose Majority. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirral_South_by-election,_1997 Glasgow East 2008 By-election - The recent By-election, Labour-SNP Battle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_East_by-election,_2008 Newbury 1993 By-election - The Novelty By-election, 19 parties, Lib-Dem-Tory Battle, Unpopular Tory Government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbury_by-election,_1993 Leicester South 2004 By-election - The urban by-election, Labour-Lib Dem Battle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_South_by-election,_2004 Glasgow Hillhead 1982 By-election - The old by-election, the rise of the SDP, Labour-SDP-Tory Battle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Hillhead_by-election,_1982 Not showing any favouritism, but i won't vote unless their is a tie with no resolve, then i will pick the one i favour.

Manic Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I voted for Newbury, due to it's rather "wacky" nature (having had the longest ballot until the Haltemprice and Howden by-election of 2008). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasurer Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Okay, enough votes, Newbury 1993 has won in a close vote, but has lead all the way. Any more votes are invalid. I shall conduct another poll for the remianing 4, when it comes to doing another By-election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenDC Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My early vote for the next round is Glasgow Hillhead. I've always been intrigued by the history of the SDP, so it'd be fun to play a scenario where they're involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasurer Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 If it's any consolation, Roy Jenkins is involved in the upcoming Labour leadership 1976 election, as the 3rd placed candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
