Labour 1923 - Undecided subtitle
*Ignore that some of the images are not properly fitting in the card space lol.
Hello,
This is a teaser for the mod I've been working on the past few months. Labour 1923, centred around the short lived first Labour government. Formed in 1924, they made a lot of mistakes. And it fell before the year even finished... But what if they didn't. And maybe even achieved their agenda. Though the biggest hurdle to that is it was a minority government, reluctantly supported by the Liberal Party, so you'll have to manage their dissent to some of the stuff you do and the way you react to events that happen. But with the power to call snap elections, maybe you'll survive long enough to win that majority government.
All of this happening as the looming shadow of trade union anger, particularly from coal miners grow, something that irl escalated into the 1926 General Strike. Under the conservatives it failed, and in retaliation they implemented some of the harshest anti union legislature the country had ever seen. Crippling unions until Labour rolled them back later in the 40s.
How could a Labour government navigate the growing discontent? Could they try to delay it? Maybe even give a better deal for the strikers in the end. Or maybe avert it entirely.
The planned timeframe is 1923 - 1929 before the great depression hits.
Also because its for the UK, the electoral system will be first past the post, meaning you won't need 50% for a majority. But with 3 parties claiming large junks of the votes, you may find it tough to break out of a hung parliament.
But yeah, thats about all I have to say on it for now. I might do another teaser in the future. But it'll probably be when its closer to being finished.
