I'm happy to kick-start my UK election campaign. I hope to start the turn by Sunday or Monday. This is going to be the thread for signing up, asking about game play mechanics, and all the general admin that comes from sorting out these games. I want to keep the other thread clean for only gameplay
related stuff.

Please also keep in mind that I'd really appreciate that you only play as a major party leader if you're willing to put a relative amount of effort/work into doing it well.
Please Sign up Below...

Players so far...

Labour- Ed Miliband (Dr_Novella), Andy Burnham (PoliticalMasta)

Conservatives- David Cameron (Truman)

Liberal Democrats- Nick Clegg (Never-Again), Vince Cable (Jaguar)

Greens- Natalie Bennett (Wxtransit)

Plaid Cymru- Leanne Wood (NotMadigan)

UKIP- Nigel Farage (Lumine)

RESPECT- George Galloway (Sanchez)

No sorry; before Brexit JRM had virtually no profile beyond being on the list of rather wacky benchbench MPs (much like Corbyn) If I run a 2018/2019 game later on he'll be available.

I've got about 20 tabs open so it's my fault for not posting this thread first. But yes, you can have Natalie Bennett, and this amusing story should shown some of the 'unique' problems she faced.

yes; although they're heavily limited in that they'll only be able to fight in a handful of seats.

Only 19 less than the SNP fight in.  I'll gladly play as Leanne Wood, Leader of Plaid Cymru.

Have fixed this; ironically Paul Nutall made this mistake in a TV debate and got a lot of stick for it

Your result would be almost solely based on Labours performance and you’ll struggle (Galloway only got 21% of the vote in 2015) but sure why not

You can have Cable. I can't imagine a scenario where Houghton would run in 2015; ex-military commanders only tend to run in British Politics to fulfill a certain niche, and I can't see why the Chief of the UK's Armed Forces would quit to become a backbench MP.
