Green Benches
A free UK politics simulator and election simulator: lead a fictional party from the campaign trail to Downing Street.
ABOUT
Green Benches is a turn-based UK politics simulator and election simulator set in a fictional British House of Commons.
Choose from 16 election years spanning 1923 to 2024, lead one of 12 fictional parties and contest 650 constituencies on a detailed UK map.
Write and pass bills, deliver Budgets, face Prime Minister’s Questions, manage whips, factions, donors and membership, and build a legacy in the Hall of Fame.
Play a complete single-player career or create an online room for 2–4 players with a 90-second turn timer. Six historical challenges offer focused scenarios alongside the main simulation.
The Commons and Lords can be viewed as interactive 3D chambers or a clear 2D seat chart. All politicians and parties in the simulation are fictional.
Green Benches runs free in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone. It is currently available in English.

REVIEWS & RATINGS
Editorial review by TrySomeGames — not a player rating
VERDICT: A remarkably detailed browser parliament simulator with enough routes to power for repeated careers.
Green Benches turns a political career into a deep turn-based strategy game. The 16 election years, 650-constituency map and 12 fictional parties make each new campaign feel materially different.
Legislation, Budgets, PMQs, factions and party management connect cleanly: decisions made in one system return as polling, unity and election consequences later. The optional 3D chambers add atmosphere while the 2D view keeps the numbers readable.
Its breadth means the first career takes patience, but guided setup and six focused historic challenges provide useful ways in. Online rooms for 2–4 players add another layer without replacing the complete single-player game.
