zulu elephant Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, here's a challenge... Hundreds and hudreds of constituencies. The map would be an absolute knightmare to create 1 MP (one electoral college vote) for each constituency The only (only..ha) problem would be the fact that a plurality of votes for your party would be seen (by the computer) as a victory for you, whereas in real life, a party would need an absolute majority to be declared victorious.

SSVegeta123243 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 not so fast my friend a simple solution would be to break the country down into regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu elephant Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Yeah, I could do that. I don't know if I could look myself in the eye if i created something half-ass and unrealistic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSVegeta123243 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 well it is realistic if u think most constituencies in the same region has similar voting patterns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu elephant Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, Scotland, Wales and the North of England tend to be Labour and the South tends to be Conservative but it is nowhere near that simple Anyway Ive made a good map using a good image from the net including Wales Scotland Northern Ireland The North West The North East Yorkshire and Humberside The East Midlands The West Midlands East Anglia The South West The South East and London as the constituencies (these are the constituencies in the European elections so Im maintaining an air of political realism) Hope to get the Scenerio out in the next few days/couple of weeks Any suggestions would be most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulu elephant Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Not sure how it's gonna shake out with Candidates/Running mates but Im thinking... Labour: Tony Blair Gordon Brown Charles Clarke Robin Cook David Blunkett Jack Straw John Prescott Alan Milburn Conservatives: Michael Howard Oliver Letwin David Davis Michael Anrcam Liberal Democrats: Charles Kennedy Lembit Opik Menzies Campbell Probably gonna put the UK Independence Party in to balance the whole left-right thing out a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhelmus Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Why is Ireland on the map ? It doesnt belong to Great Britian ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyking Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Why not use Prime Minister Forever for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu elephant Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Damn. Your map's better than mine (not that my map is bad) good idea about the Celtic Party - the main thing ive been wondering about is what to do with/in the irish constituencies (since labour, conservatives and libs dems dont run in those seats) Seems we've both worked hard on uk scenerios, only for prime minister forever UK to be announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
