Watch the count come in seat by seat, marginals fall, and bellwethers break — with rolling pundit commentary calling the night as it unfolds. Real coalitions, hung parliaments, and the scramble to form a government when no one wins outright. Choose your declaration speed and feel the tension build. WORLD CONFLICTS A new geopolitics layer. Wars ignite, escalate, freeze, and resolve around the world — and they reach your desk. Commit support, broker peace, or stay out of it, and live with the consequences at home: oil prices, inflation, the press, and your own backbenchers. MORE OF WHAT THE COUNTRY THROWS AT YOU TV debates you can genuinely lose Scandal-triggered by-elections that chip away at your majority A full named roster of MPs — track loyalty, hand out cabinet jobs, manage the awkward ones The Chief Whip's office: see who's slipping, and why, before a rebellion forms Reactive PMQs and a press pack that responds to the choices you actually make Pick your own constituency — and watch the opposition needle you about it Coalition partners clearly shown across your cabinet Choose your side in referendums and fight the campaign your way A DEEPER SIMULATION The country reacts to everything you do across a wide web of national indicators — the economy, the NHS, housing, the environment, and more.

Your decisions now shape the country. • REAL CONSEQUENCES — The bills you pass, the budgets you set and the projects you build now move all the nation's stats. Fund the NHS and waiting lists come down; back housebuilding and homes get more affordable; invest in jobs and unemployment falls; let a problem fester and it grows. Govern well across a full term and the numbers reflect it. • NEW LEGISLATION — A fresh slate of bills for the despatch box: planning reform, a National Cancer Strategy, a Women's Health Strategy, pay transparency, clean air and clean rivers, the EV transition, SEN funding, children's mental health — and a Debt Management Bill to win back the nation's credit rating. • TRUER TO YOUR GOVERNMENT — Your party and your record now carry through consistently, from election night to PMQs. The story always matches the government you're actually leading. • FAIRER COMMONS — PMQs and the lobby stick to what you've genuinely done. No more being asked about decisions you never made. • Plus a wave of balance and stability improvements under the hood. Thank you for playing PM Simulator — a lot of this update came straight from your reviews. Keep the feedback coming.

What's New in 1.7 — the biggest update yet. IN-GAME AUDIO Menu music and soundbytes added through the game REFERENDUMS Put the great questions to the country: EU membership, Scottish and Welsh independence, an NI border poll, House of Lords abolition — even the monarchy. Wrangle a split cabinet, launch get-out-the-vote drives, raise the stakes — then govern through an aftermath that can reshape the union for good. LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES EXPANSION Your own party can now move against you — 1922-Committee style — before the Commons ever gets a vote of no confidence. Spot the ringleader, buy their silence, or face the men in grey suits. A TREASURY THAT BITES Hawk and Dove chancellors, Push tax too far and the Laffer curve pushes back. Read three-year OBR forecasts, set departmental budgets, and watch mortgage distress hit households when rates climb. LOCAL ELECTIONS EXPANSIONS Tour the bellwether towns and meet voters on the doorstep — answering for the issues that actually decide council seats, from potholes and council tax to GP waits. SMARTER CAMPAIGNS Choose your strategy — go negative, run positive, or win the air war — track approval across all four nations, and spend your campaign energy wisely. ON THE WORLD STAGE Host state visits, negotiate trade deals, and manage world leaders with clear cooldown timers. Plus sharper PMQs and lobby scrutiny, a more realistic Commons division, and dozens of fixes and refinements throughout. Bug fixes and optimisations as always Thanks for playing — Number 10 awaits.

Here's what's in v1.6 Major new systems World leaders expansion and new trade mechanics The 13 world leaders have been expanded to 32. They track what you promised them, when, and whether you kept your word. Break a pledge — there's a 3% weekly chance they'll call you on it publicly. Trade deals can be renegotiated 8 weeks out, auto-renegotiated at 4. Each leader now has 10 demands, 10 offers, 20 triggers and 5 quotable phrases in their own voice. New Diplomatic Flow screen for state visits, military pacts, aid packages, trade deals and visas. New Multilateral Coordination screen for working four allies on a shared objective at once. Inflation with five levers You now have five tools: Fiscal Stance with a CPI anchor, supply-side bills, tax tools, your relationship with the Bank of England, and your energy package. Stack-decay prevents compounding tricks. Suppress too hard and Kate will flag it. Bring inflation down responsibly and you'll bank a Disinflation achievement. PMQs expansion and more gated questions New questions. Round 3 can now react to how you answered round 2 — and the opposition leaders have their own voice for it (25 reactive variants across 5 strategies and 5 attack styles). 45 new questions are gated on diplomatic moves you've actually made. Your running figures — small boats arrivals, the deficit, the asylum backlog — now substitute into response text too, not just questions, so the back-and-forth uses your real numbers. Election engine rebalanced A cube-law 9-band model. Pledges only protect you if you're actually on track. Kept-pledge bonus caps cleaner. Landslides land less often (threshold raised from 49% to 51%). New "Voters reward your record" row on the polls screen shows the direct impact of your governance. Leaders of opposition can get sacked and replaced, opposition is now calculated on seat count of elections. Seat-driven opposition resolver 6-deep rotation with 48 different identities The smaller cuts Journalist outlet-voice intros — lobby coverage finally sounds different by paper Cabinet briefings and project surfaces now have proper cooldowns King's Speech can no longer be interrupted by a foreign call New pothole class-action inbox item wired up and gated to the relevant project QA / bugfixes Too many to list...

What's New in Version 1.5 Party Leadership Challenge Your own MPs can now move against you. If approval slumps, scandals mount, or PMQs losses pile up, letters of no confidence in your leadership begin to accumulate in the parliamentary party. Watch Kate's warnings, shore up your backbenchers and if the threshold is crossed, face a live ballot against a named challenger. Survive with a decisive majority and your authority is restored. Lose, and the premiership is over. For the bold: you can call the ballot yourself before the threshold is reached, on your own terms. Do you dare to take that risk? Smarter End-of-Term Report Bills passed, projects completed, and scandals faced now show your current-term record, not a running lifetime total. Multi-term players get a full career summary card on the results screen. Fairer Start to Every Game All four starting mandates now begin with zero hostile MPs. The parliamentary party may be fractious or uncertain, but day-one hostility has been removed, you now have time to govern before the knife comes out. Energy & Green Economy Renewable energy projects now reduce inflation as capacity comes online. The North Sea Oil & Gas Licensing bill produces visible revenue. Five energy bills gain proper GDP and economic effects. Expanded Help New help sections cover PM stats & traits, Chief Whip Briefings, no-confidence votes, and lobbying. The fiscal section now explains welfare drift, the interest cascade, and term carry-over. Updated UK Map on Election Night Mid-Term Budget Bug Fixes, Game Balancing Adjustments and Optimisations

Govern deeper — and steadier. This update expands what happens inside No. 10 and fixes a launch crash some players hit on the latest iOS. WHAT'S NEW • Your manifesto has teeth now. Pledges are tracked all term — the press, the opposition, and your own backbenchers will hold you to what you promised versus what you've actually delivered. • Party activists turn up at PMQs to push you on the causes your members care about. • Take office mid-stream: inherit live projects like HS2 and decide whether to back them or cancel them. • More to govern with — 180+ bills including flagship ideological legislation and policies you can revisit each term, a new NHS Workforce programme, and richer lobbying where meetings come back around. • Sharper world stage — leaders react to the specific topics you raise. • Fresh writing throughout: new PMQs and press-conference questions, hidden bill storylines, and callbacks to your own past decisions. FIXES & POLISH • Fixed a startup crash on some devices running the latest iOS. • End-of-term report now counts manifesto and King's Speech pledges — and your party alignment — correctly across multiple terms. • "Hold the line" pledges (no VAT rise, NATO commitment, and the like) no longer count as delivered before you've governed the term. • Budget cancellation now confirms first, plus many smaller balance and interface fixes. Thanks for playing — your feedback shapes what comes next.
