ABOUT THIS SIMULATION

The Road to Number 10 is an interactive UK election simulator designed specifically for A-Level Politics students. It challenges players to lead one of five political parties through a full General Election campaign, making critical decisions on manifestos, media crises, and resource allocation.

Students will find it invaluable for understanding the mechanics of the First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) electoral system. The simulation mathematically models how FPTP distorts results, punishing parties with typically distributed support (like Reform UK or the Greens) while rewarding those with concentrated voter bases (like Labour or the Lib Dems). By actively managing campaign strategy- choosing between consolidating core votes or targeting swing seats - students gain a practical, memorable understanding of concepts like the "winner's bonus," tactical voting, and the disconnect between national vote share and parliamentary seats. It transforms abstract political theory into a tangible strategic challenge. Give it a try!
