Backstory to come later, you can begin claiming party leaders, party members or even newspapers if you want. You are free to choose a party leader if you claim a party as long as its realistic (for example, you claim the Conservative Party Leadership as Boris Johnson, or play Boris but not as party leader).

This is the tentative list:

Key Parties (must be filled)

Labour Party (Government)
Liberal Democrats (Government coalition partner)
Conservative Party (Opposition)

Minor Parties (second priority)

UK Independence Party (two players only)
Scottish National Party (two players only)
Plaid Cymru (one player only)
Green Party (one player only)

Northern Ireland Parties (optional)

DUP (one player only)
SDLP (one player only)
Sinn Fein (one player only)
UUP or Alliance (only if other parties filled)

Newspapers are also open, there will be a list later.

Just to check, the MPs have to have been in parliament in 2012 right?

I guess I'll pass, one of the best things about the old(er) mock parliament was the creation of and internal interactions of the various parties us players created. For example, getting chased out of the Socialist Party(the party I created) was incredibly fun, and I wouldn't want a mock parliament without such game play.

Have fun guys, though, and good luck.

Sure, as the sitting Prime Minister or as a Labour backbencher?


Certainly, but small parties will only be allowed once we have the Conservative, Lib Dem and Labour party leaders.

Just to check, the MPs have to have been in parliament in 2012 right?

Ideally, but there can always be by-elections. Who did you have in mind?

Thanks, Murica. I considered the idea of leaving parties open to creation at first, but I figured it would be best to keep things more limited to see if the game can work. I don't rule it out in the future to leave it up to the players.

Eh, was thinking backbencher (thus the "as he is IRL") but I'll go for broke. Prime Minister.

What's this, what's this? I certainly hope we can make a success out of this one and actually enjoy playing it.

And for my next trick, I will be playing Theresa May as Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Conservative Party.

Great!

The problem I have is that I need the party leaders first, so we can actually play the General Election... In order to make this work, could I persuade you to switch to party leaders for this phase? I can promise to reserve these characters for you once we play in parliament (or you can play both).

I'm willing to switch for GE, sure. I am willing to play Nicola Sturgeon.

Nice!

We could really use the Lib Dems as well (particularly if its Clegg), since they'll be much stronger than in our timeline.
