Regarding the reference to the unemployment rate in the SOTU, are macroeconomic statistics and conditions basically the same as OTL from the summer of 1985 to the present day?
Broadly, yes.Regarding the reference to the unemployment rate in the SOTU, are macroeconomic statistics and conditions basically the same as OTL from the summer of 1985 to the present day?
That’s a mouthful and a half!The BBC understands that Robertson could lead a breakaway party (understood to be called "The Scottish Green Unionist Republican Party"), whilst supporters of Burley are planning to remove her as "joint leader" leaving Burley as sole leader.
Welcome to Green politics in the United Kingdom!!A unionist republican movement makes little sense to me. The fundamental reason Scotland and England came together was because they began sharing a monarch. Without the monarchy why stay together? An independent Kingdom of Scotland makes more sense than a "United Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." In fact, in the event of such an unfortunate outcome Norhtern Ireland should just be absorbed into the Republic of Ireland.
Sincerest thanks Mark, but forgive me if I wish to hear no more of this republican nonsense. GSTK!Welcome to Green politics in the United Kingdom!!
In both worlds the following is true:
Hope this brief overview clears things up.
- Scottish Green's formed in 1990: Are a Scottish nationalist party, they are "left wing" and support Scottish independence. They are also believe an independent Scotland should be a Republic with an elected Head of Scotland. (The SNP in both world's favor a public referendum on the status of the Head of State after independence has been gained from the United Kingdom).
- The Green Party of England & Wales was also formed in 1990: It is independent of the Scottish Greens. They are "left wing" but are a "Unionist Party" meaning they believe in the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (Wales, Scotland & NI remain part of the UK, until referendums in which they would support remain). They believe though the United Kingdom (as a whole should be reformed), with a replacement of the Monarchy. the House of lords by an elected President and elected Senate (by PR) without a referendum. The Church of England would lose it's power as basically the "national religion".
I wonder if the NPP will collapse the government given their polling. Makes sense for them to push for an election whilst they’re riding high.

Labour: 40% (+1)
Conservative: 22% (-1)
NPP: 20% (+1)
Liberal Democrats: 9% (-1)
SNP: 3% (n/c)
Green: 2% (n/c)

Tories polling a statistical tie with a farther right third party is incredibly embarrassing for them. They should really just end the suffering.I wonder if the NPP will collapse the government given their polling. Makes sense for them to push for an election whilst they’re riding high.
No.So both parties now are going to be using proportional delegate selection instead of winner take all in the 2026 primaries?
