  1. Sports What Ifs.

    "With the second pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select Justin Fields, quarterback, Ohio State." There are quite a few interesting 'what if?' scenarios in the 2021 draft, with 5 quarterbacks taken in the first 15 picks, but this one is somewhat topical, with Zack Wilson being...

  2. Sports What Ifs.

    That's possible, but there's also a pretty good chance that Rodgers starts from day 1 and really struggles (as Alex Smith did IOTL) - that 2005 49ers team was not good, and didn't improve much over the next few years. There were also questions around Rodgers' mechanics and the scheme that he...

  3. Sports What Ifs.

    If the Oilers have Elway, where does Warren Moon end up? (He signed with Houston in 1984 in OTL.)

  4. Sports What Ifs.

    While rookie contracts were larger (in relation to the salary cap) in 2005 than they have been since 2011, contracts for guys taken a little further down the first round weren't too expensive - Ware signed a 5-year, $13m deal as the 11th pick, with the cap being $85.5m in 2005. The contract for...

  5. Fate of the Liberals With No SDP split?

    That raises an interesting thought - Kennedy as one of Labour's bright young things alongside Blair and Brown...

  6. Supreme Court with a Kerry Victory in 2004

    There's also the 2006 mid-term elections to consider - OTL these flipped the Senate (49 each for Republicans and Democrats, but the two Independents (Sanders/Lieberman) caucused with the Democrats), but a Democrat in the White House is likely to be to the advantage of Republicans in 2006. This...

  7. If Nixon wins in 1960, who do the Republicans and Democrats nominate in 1968

    It's likely that Johnson would have remained Senate Majority Leader if Nixon wins the 1960 presidential election. If Nixon is looking like a strong favourite to be re-elected in 1964, why would Johnson give that up for a presidential run with little chance of success? Moving more widely from...

  8. "The Commonwealth of Britain" - Republican UK Wikibox TL

    If the Scottish Parliament is elected using the same system as OTL (Additional Member System, with 73 MSPs elected using FPTP in constituencies and 7 in each of 8 regions on a proportional basis, using D'Hondt - each voter has two votes, one for the FPTP seat, the other for the regional list...

  9. Best and Worst Post-1900 Political PODs

    A UK-based PoD that could lead to significant/interesting divergence from OTL - the 1979 general election ends up with the Conservatives as the largest party, but with either a very small majority or short of a majority (compared to the majority of 43 that Thatcher actually had). One possible...

  10. Smith not Blair?

    It's hard to see much changing in terms of the timing of the election (likely that the polls are still so much in favour of Labour that Major/the Conservatives wait almost as long as possible before calling the election, as in OTL), or the outcome, in that Labour are likely to end up with a...

  11. Sports What Ifs.

    Following yesterday's events at Augusta, this might be an interesting one to think about... [Chicago, IL] Sergio Garcia won the USPGA Championship at Medinah Country Club, beating Tiger Woods in a playoff with a birdie at the first playoff hole. The 19-year-old Spaniard came from five shots...

  12. WI: No 2010 coalition government

    A little shift the other way would also be interesting - how would things change if the Lib Dems were in the position of being able to choose between the Conservatives and Labour, with either option giving a majority coalition government? (This would be the case if Labour had managed to get to...

  13. WI: No 2010 coalition government

    Assuming that the Conservatives are either just short or have a small majority (so in the 315-330 range, as opposed to the 306 that they actually won, with Labour down to 230-250 (was 258) - equivalent to an additional swing of 1-2% from Labour to Conservative), they would be the next Government...
