Its 1918, and for the first time in nearly a decade, the British public goes to the polls to elect a new parliament. The First World War has left the United Kingdom a changed country, and its politics have been effected by that. Incumbent Prime Minister Lloyd George runs on his record so far as PM, and in coalition with the Conservatives of Andrew Bonar Law. The Liberal party has split into two warring factions, one of which supports Lloyd George and the other supporting former leader and PM Herbert Asquith. Meanwhile the Labour Party, throwing aside its electoral pact with the Liberals, is attempting to win as many seats as possible, and perhaps even to form a government of its own. The winds of change also sweep through Ireland, as Sinn Fein challenges the hegemony of the Irish Parliamentary Party.

Who will win? Cast your votes now...

I voted non-Coalition Conservative, but I would have backed the 'coupon' candidate against Labour/socialist parties.

Asquith was never known as Herbert Asquith. Professionally he was H.H. Asquith; in private he preferred Henry.

Sinn Fein (literally normal as evidenced by the results of the election).

Quite. However, when I was browsing the wiki article for the election I noticed (I believe) on the Irish map that some Unionist managed to get elected in a southern constituency. Any ideas anyone as to how they managed that. I'm guessing it was an area with a big clump of Anglo-Irish Protestants.

That was Maurice Dockrell in Dublin Rathmines.

My constituency was Coalition Conservative unopposed, so I don't get a vote Sad
