5k: 9. Man of the people!

1 hour ago, Herbert Hoover said:

Peter Taaffe, who has been largely missing from the Socialists campaigning in lieu of the two actual MPs defending seats, rallies in London where he promises to pass substantial budget increases for the NHS. 

The Socialists start up a Young Socialists group in Coventry, hoping to influence the youth of today to become Socialist voters of tomorrow. 

The Socialists run one final ad in Liverpool, where they promote their city council and mayoral candidate. 

London: 10! A great day in London!

Coventry: 7. A good day for the Socialists there.

Liverpool: 2. The ad fails to help at all.

Overall: +3.

STORYLINES

Government in the hands of Ashdown's Liberal Democrats

With 29 and 32 seats required, respectively, the Liberal Democrats have the power to make or break the government. The Conservatives could technically reach the threshold with a mix and match of parties, but in reality, Northern Irish parties will not want to cooperate together. The Lib Dems are the deciding factor on government negotiations.

However, the results of thee election were a better received result in Conservative HQ than once thought - the people voted for them by over 4% over the opposition Labour Party (even though seat count doesn't reflect it). The Greens and UKIP had a good start, while Change UK ran strong in London. The Socialists will be overjoyed to have defended the seat in Liverpool, and will use it as a beachhead in the years to come.

Many are wondering - where do we go from here? An election in the autumn? A coalition? Confidence and supply? Minority government that's as shaky as it began? 

@Reagan04's John Major has the first opportunity to form government, followed by @WVProgressive's Labour. In reality, @Cenzonico's Liberal Democrats control either of their fates. 

(Thank you all! Once government has been formed and I have been notified, I will begin preparations for the off-year cycle and let you know where we go from here. I enjoyed this very much!)

 

[Rodja 51]

Mallen Barker will be resigning as Green Party leader after party's failure to win a single seat this election.

[Cenzonico 224]

Paddy Ashdown releases a statement on government formation

"After many many talks with the party leadership, fellow MPs, and my family, I have made the decision to force a minority government! We can not yield to the very same parties that have failed the British people. We must use our power to be able to get our agenda into law and have Britian be better off than ever before!"

Labour's offer to the Devolution Alliance:

Scottish, and Welsh Parliament with tax levying powers by 1994

Referendum on Irish Reunification requiring support from 55% of the entire Irish Electorate by 1995

Referendum on English Parliament with tax levying powers requiring support from 55% of the entire English electorate by 1996

Story

It is November of 1994. Labour's minority government has been rocky, and rocked by scandal. The Prime Minister was dogged by a corruption scandal that has continued to plague his administration. The Devolution Alliance secured much of what it wanted (English Parliament wasn't a big goal of theirs in the long run). A horrible handling of most key issues seems to be because of a minority government in the first place. Issues that may have been solved easily by a majority government were plagued by opposition from the Lib Dems and Tories.

A bad handling of events has led to Labour sinking in the polls. With a minority parliament, the Tories and Lib Dems alone could force an election in the early winter of 1995. Obstinate opposition from the Tories seems to have rewarded them for the time being...

@WVProgressive

@Reagan04 has the option to table a vote of no confidence in Her Majesty's government. A high stakes move, as it could backfire both upon them and @Cenzonico 's Liberal Democrats. The two parties could force an election on their own. Otherwise, it will wait for another couple of years before Labour's term is done.

Leader of the Opposition John Major goes to the floor of the House and announces a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Kinnock and Her Majesty's government. He declares the government has been ineffective and it's response to all of Britain's most important issues has been shameful!
