United Kingdom Politics Game
Welcome to the United Kingdom Politics Game, a laid back mechanics RPG where you take the role of a party leader in the United Kingdom. Your goal is to lead your party to victory in election after election. This means campaigning, as well as governing, effectively in order to win the people's votes.
The game's version of the UK government has a simplified structure. Across the 12 regions, there are 650 parliamentary seats in the House of Commons. You make campaign promises and allocate campaign resources across the 12 regions in an effort to win the 326 seats needed to form a government and become Prime Minister. You may need to coalition with other parties, but not always — because of the electoral system, the winner of each region wins half of its seats, and the rest are allocated proportionally based on how many votes each party gets in the region.
Once you've won, you'll need to make good on your campaign promises to stay in government at the next election. Each party can propose laws to adjust the nation's 18 policy portfolios. In addition, the government must pass a budget funding each portfolio and taxing each region. Proposals have to pass the House of Commons to become law (though random events might stall legislation, like a lengthy debate in the House of Lords).
This is the game's sole thread. There is no long-form narrative storytelling: most of the narrative will be told through news, posted by the OP. You may post some character RPing if you wish.
If you think you have what it takes to lead your party to victory and govern as Prime Minister, then file the election forms below and get ready to start campaigning!
