Kurt_Steiner: You must be a kinder man than I when it comes to the Kennedys. :laugh:
H.Appleby: Due to the early end of World War Two in Europe, Glenn Miller doesn't die in 1944 and is still alive in 1960.
That should brighten someone's day.
Kurt_Steiner: Oh...he's talking to you. I thought he was talking to me.
H.Appleby: Thank you. Wait until you see the next update title. Anyone who watches Japanese animation will probably understand it.
Andreios II: Thank you very much for your advice.
Reading about how the British choose their Prime Ministers I thought was fasinating. The fact that Prime Ministers have to "kiss hands" with the reigning monarch as a custom I thought was interesting.
The UK elections all come from the US/UK Election Mod I am using. For some reason, the alternate elections all take place in US election years with the exception of the 1961 election (which I will mention and will use to get Margaret Thatcher into Parliament).
How about Butler sending Macmillan to the United States as the UK Ambassador?
I do plan to continue the decolonization effort but I was thinking about slowing it down so we don't get all these new countries all at once. For instance, in my next update I ended the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya and had Butler delay Kenyan independence until the mid-1960s on the grounds of "law and order". Instead of 1963, I am thinking about giving Kenya independence in 1965 or 1966.
Ah, yes. The Middle East. The great "what should I do here" region. With Egypt in the pro-West sphere and the British maintaining control over Iran and to a lesser extent Iraq, the region is quiet from a writers' block standpoint.
Dr. Gonzo: Well, if British foriegn policy is being run by Draco, visits by a couple paratroopers should set everything straight.
