2015 UK Election Game Rules/Signup

[rpryor03]

November 8, 2014
In what would be come to known as 'Bloody Sunday 2014', at a Remembrance Day Event in London, a train malfunctioned and hit PM Cameron, DPM Clegg, and LotO Miliband. With the 2015 General Election fast approaching, the parties decided that none of their leaders would be able to campaign for May's elections. As such, they each decided to hold leadership campaigns over the course of November, December and January. Until the new leaders were elected, Andrew Lansley would hold down the Tory fort, Ming Cambpell would stand in for Clegg, and Alastair Darling would lead Labour. The next occupant of 10 Downing after Lansley was anybody's guess.

Excellent!

Question: Will other parties be included with enough players? (SNP, Green Party, etc), and, are we going to begin with the leadership elections? If so, what will be the gameplay for those?

If enough players, then yes. We will begin with leadership elections. You get five endorsers from your Parliamentary Party, and you'll barnstorm around the country gaining momentum and support.

The voting will be using PP support, and then it will be national support in the last round.

I'm interested! Can I be Farage?

[rpryor03]

Sure!

[Lumine]

My knowledge of current MP's it not really good, and I don't think I would be truly ready to play a competitive general election. That said, the leadership election look fascinating, and if there are other Tory candidates entering then I would like to request Conservative MP Sajid Javid.

[Phony Moderate]

Can I be Dennis Skinner?

[Cranberry]

This seems great, let's hope this can catch on going!
I'm not that well informed about British politics, but still, I would like to partake here, as Labour MP Caroline Flint, representing Don Valley.

Can I be Dennis Skinner?

If you want to.

Seeing as no Lib Dems are in, can I be Tim Farron (Westmorland and Lonsdale)?
