Party Rundown

National - Polls for the next election are looking rough, as the Freedomites surge. Most recently the West Country Council fell to a Freedom led coalition, outpolling the Tories and leaving the Liberals in the dust. It took the Tories ninety years to get back into power, it looks like that might not last much longer

Solidarity - Looking forward to a breakthrough if Freedom splits the right vote enough, but there's been another outburst of tabloid panic over Solidarity's communist affiliates, and obviously David got his oar in. Of course that same election in the West Country showed a shocking percentage of the young voting Solidarity - no doubt helped along by all those cifs on Senatter drooling over Gordon Brown - but you know what turnout in that demographics like.

Freedom - Nigel Farage may be currently under investigation for literal crimes, but with his hands around the throat of the government, it isn't expected for that to lead anywhere. More important possibly is how many young people - possibly turned off by how mainstream youth adoration of Gordon Brown is - are joining their grandparents to moon over Margaret Thatcher.

Liberal - At least David gets them in the paper a lot, but its difficult for them to get a word in edgeways about actual issues when every single party can point at them and blame them for Britain's travails given their dominance for most of the last century.
 
John F. Kennedy (Democratic) 1961-1963*
1960: def. Richard Nixon (Republican)
Lyndon B. Johnson (League of Brotherhood and Justice) 1963-1969

2012: def. Mitt Romney (Mitt's Republican)
Donald Trump (Donald Trump's) 2017-

1974-1979: Michael Foot (Solidarity)
1974 (Majority) def. Keith Joseph (Liberal), Enoch Powell (Freedom), Willie Whitelaw (National)

Here you go.

Basically, the Conservatives end up falling into the trap the Liberals did IOTL, while Labour has the Communists affiliate in a popular front leading to a centrist split that the party never quite recovers from - resulting in the establishment of the Solidarity Coalition of leftist parties being the main centre-left party but like the Italian Communists they very rarely get the opportunity to break through. This means that the Liberals are able to occupy a dominant party position for most of the 20th century, with most political conflict taking place within the party rather than across Parliament, to a certain extent.

This state of affairs is upended by the great crises of the 70s as Maudling's corruption is revealed while the country endures an economic slump, and the Nationals are split by Enoch Powell's openly racialist turn. This grim state of affairs allows Michael Foot to break through and establish the first majority Solidarity government in the country's history. This doesn't last long however, as Foot becomes the target of anti-socialist espionage by both America and the European Monetary Union, to say nothing of Edward IX's manoeuvres alongside the Dominions. This results in Margaret Thatcher's comfortable victory in 1979 and the realignment of the country behind her singular vision.

My favourite thing about that graphic was that Montgomerie decided that the Tory Party was so divided that it should be broken into three different parties whilst also thinking that the left was so similar that Gordon Brown and Vince Cable would be comfortable in the same party as Caroline Lucas.

It’s basically the inverse of how Benn seemed to categorise everyone in the Labour Party as either being “Socialist” or “Might as well fuck off to join the Liberals and Tories in another National Government”.
 
The Road to American Socialism

Presidents of the United States

2001-2001: George W. Bush (Republican)
2000 (with Dick Cheney) def. Al Gore (Democratic), Ralph Nader (Green)
2001-2003: Strom Thurmond (Republican)
2003-2009: Trent Lott (Republican)
2004 (with John Ashcroft) def. Hillary Clinton (Democratic), Ralph Nader (Green)
2009-2015: Tupac Shakur (Democratic)
2008 (with Samuel Bowles) def. Trent Lott (Republican), Michael Bloomberg (Independent)
2012 (with Samuel Bowles) def. Ron Paul ('Convention' Republican), Condoleezza Rice ('Majority' Republican)


Chairmen of the People’s Congress

2015-2019: Samuel Bowles (New Republic Alliance)
2015 (Alliance) def. Jon Huntsman (Capitalist Democracy), Jello Biafra (Green), Mike Gravel (Libertarian Socialist), Tom Daschle (‘Continuity’ Democratic), Cornel West (Black Coalition)
2019-0000: Shaun King (United Left)
2019 (Majority) def. Elizabeth Warren (SDP), Andrew Yang (Capitalist Democracy)

Tupac survives his infamous night on September 13, 1996, without major injuries. Shortly after, he follows in the footsteps of Dr. Dre and leaves Death Row Records to create his own label. As with Ice Cube and Will Smith, Pac remains huge in the movie business as well.

On September 11, 2001, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Speaker Hastert are killed during Prime Minister John Howard’s address to Congress. A centenarian and senile Strom Thurmond ascends to the Oval Office, easily swayed by an increasingly far-right cabinet. The U.S. launches military interventions against Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, and Iraq. While their dictators are removed from power, U.S. troops remain in each country as a force against radical insurgents.

Thurmond remains in office until his death in 2003, replaced by Trent Lott. Playing to fears of terrorism, Lott narrowly wins over Clinton in the 2004 presidential election. Lott’s attempts at taking out North Korea are a tactical failure as bombs destroy Seoul. The reunified Korean government falls into financial collapse due to the difficulties of reunification. A global recession and the disastrous Anglo-Israeli-Iranian War end one of the worst presidential terms in history.

With the surge of leftism in America, Tupac decides to run for president as a way to implement his socialist philosophy. With hard-hitting attacks, he defeats the establishment favorites of Al Gore and John Edwards. In the general election, Shakur defeats Lott and Bloomberg in a landslide. A radical cabinet is established, with Mike Gravel as Secretary of State, Robert Reich as Secretary of the Treasury, Eleanor Holmes Norton as Attorney General, and George Lee Butler as Secretary of Defense.

Using Shakur's downballot coattails, legislation is passed pulling all US troops from the Middle East and Korea. Universal health care and a national dividend are passed as part of the president's campaign against income inequality. By the 2012 presidential election, Shakur wins in a landslide due to the improved economy and the divided Republican Party.

Following the election, the Democratic majority in Congress agreed to call a new Constitutional Convention (one of the major campaign promises of in 2012). Directed by Gravel and Bowles, the new Constitution abolished the presidency and transitioned the United States into a parliamentary system with elements of direct democracy.

In the past two decades, America has gone from the reactionary right to the socialist left. The new Seventh Party System is divided on how much of America's former imperialist past should be abandoned and what the USA's relationship with capitalism is.
 
The Strange Death and Rebirth of Tory Britain

2016-2020: Theresa May (Conservative majority, then minority)
2017 (min.): def. Jeremy Corbyn (Labour), Nicola Sturgeon (SNP), Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)
2020-2027: Jeremy Corbyn (Labour majority)
2020 (maj.): def. Theresa May (Conservative), Nigel Farage (Brexit), Vince Cable (Liberal Democrat), Nicola Sturgeon (SNP), Heidi Allen (Progress and Renewal)
2025 (maj.): def. Tom Tugendhat (Conservative), Julia Reid (Brexit), Chuka Umunna (Progress and Renewal), Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat)

2027-2041: Rebecca Long-Bailey (Labour majority)
2028 (maj.): def. Julia Reid (Brexit), Chuka Umunna (Progress and Renewal), Tom Tugendhat (Conservative), Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat)
2032 (maj.): def. Chuka Umunna (Progress and Renewal), Jacob Rees-Mogg (Brexit), Caroline Johnson (Conservative), Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat)
2037 (maj.): def. Jacob Rees-Mogg (Brexit), Chuka Umunna (Progress and Renewal), Caroline Johnson (Conservative),
Callum Littlemore (Liberal Democrat)
2041-2044: Lily Madigan (Labour majority)
2041 (maj.): def. Gavin Shuker (Progress and Renewal), Leo Harriman (Patriotic Conservative), Callum Littlemore (Liberal Democrat)
2044-2046: Gavin Shuker (Progress and Renewal minority supported by Liberal Democrats and "Blairite" Labour)
2046-2051: Lily Madigan (Labour minority)
2046 (min.): def. Gavin Shuker (Progress and Renewal), Leo Harriman (Patriotic Conservative), Callum Littlemore (Liberal Democrat)
2051-0000: Margot Bradford (Progress and Renewal-Liberal Democrat coalition, then National Renewal majority)
2051 (coal.): def. Lily Madigan (Labour), Callum Littlemore (Liberal Democrat), Leo Harriman (Patriotic Conservative)
2055 (coal.): def. Lily Madigan (Labour), Callum Littlemore (Liberal Democrat), various (Patriotic Conservative)
2059 (maj.): def. Sam Lewis (Labour), Tony Echeverria (Liberal Democrat)


One of the most consequential responses of all was at the 2051 debate when the embattled Prime Minister Lily Madigan brought out the "Tory" label and applied it to Progress and Renewal, trying to conjure up a time of austerity and of poverty under the Tories and declared that "if you do not want a return to Tory failures, vote Labour". That would have worked in 2020. But it was 2051, and all the Progress and Renewal leader, the young and charismatic Margot Bradford, could say was a light laugh and a declaration that "if all that makes you a Tory is that you disagree with Labour, then I guess we're Tories then".

With the last rump of the old Tories fast crumbling, the voters rallied behind the new Tories, eager for a change from the Madigan years. Within the decade, the party quietly absorbed the old Tories in an mostly unnoticed event before rebranding as National Renewal, more firmly stepping themselves into the role of the new Tories.

The Labour Party in the 2020s did the impossible, kill off the Tory Party for good. But in 2051, it did another impossible, bring them back. And this time, with a gang of cheering students behind Prime Minister Bradford, the new Tories seem here to stay for quite a while as Labour falls into infighting and factional bickering. Some, including new Lib Dem leader Tony Echeverria, entertain ideas of Labour splitting like the old Tories did and letting them surpass them. What a difference thirty years make.

Somehow seems more continental than what we got OTL.
 
To be clear, is this the actual King of Württemberg? Because the idea of a Napoleonic ally (however lukewarm) inheriting the British crown in 1813 is just… wow.
I wouldn't call him that lukewarm, at least based on how he acted at the Congress of Vienna where (as far as anyone knew) Napoleon was definitely gone forever, but he kept stubbornly sticking to a pro-Napoleonic line (not just out of self-interest, but seemingly out of principle) nonetheless.

It was more there to hedge my bets than anything.
 
The Sovereignty of Parliament

2010-2014: David Cameron (Conservative) Coalition with Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat)

2010: David Cameron (Conservative) [306] Gordon Brown (Labour) [258] Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) [57] Peter Robinson (DUP) [8] Alex Salmond (SNP) [6] Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein) [5] Iuan Wynn Jones (Plaid Cymru) [3] Margaret Ritchie (SDLP) [3] Caroline Lucas (Green Party England & Wales) [1] David Ford (Alliance) [1] Sylvia Herman (Independent) [1] John Bercow (Speaker) [1]

2014 Scottish Independence Referendum: Yes 52.1% No 47.9%

2014-2015: Theresa May (Conservative)

Theresa May was quick to asset that the wishes of the 48% must be protected in this negotiation and that democracy should not come down to simple tyranny of the majority.

Both the SNP and the Conservatives favour Customs Union, though the Conservatives want this to be a bilateral agreement while the SNP favours it being within the context of EU membership.

Scotland's EU membership. currency agreement with the UK, sea borders, treaty obligations, etc are up for negotiation, while a Constitutional convention was held to determine Scottish laws.

Prior to the election, Scottish Votes for Scottish Laws was passed, preventing Scottish MPs from voting on political matters impacting the rUK.

2015: Theresa May (Conservative) [300] Ed Miliband (Labour) [273] Alex Salmond (SNP) [42] Peter Robinson (DUP) [9] Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein) [8] Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru) [8] Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) [5] Nigel Farage (UKIP) [2] Natalie Bennett (Green Party England & Wales) [1] Sylvia Herman (Independent) [1] John Bercow (Speaker) [1]

Scotland: Alex Salmond (SNP) [42] Jim Murphy (Labour) [13] Ruth Davidson (Conservative) [3] Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) [1]

rUK: Theresa May (Conservative) [297] Ed Miliband (Labour) [260] Peter Robinson (DUP) [9] Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein) [8] Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru) [8] Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) [4] Nigel Farage (UKIP) [2] Natalie Bennett (Green Party England & Wales) [1] Sylvia Herman (Independent) [1] John Bercow (Speaker) [1]

Scottish parliament: Alex Salmond (SNP) [64] Ruth Davidson (Conservative) [32] Jim Murphy (Labour) [22] Maggie Chapman and Patrick Harvie (Green Party) [7] Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) [4]

Scotland and the rUK begin a series of negotiations on independence, with a goal of creating a deal on Independence by May 2017. The first step is to agree to honour the result of the referendum and agree the timescale.

June 2015: Scottish Independence Bill (UK): Yes - 61, No - 289

June 2015: Scottish Independence Bill (Scotland): Yes - 90 No - 49

October 2015: Scottish Independence Bill (UK): Yes - 289, No - 298
Amendment A: Requirement of a second referendum: Yes - 479 No - 64
Amendment B: Requirement that deal should include shared military and customs union: Yes - 332 No - 98
Amendment C: Requirement that Scotland have permanent fiscal union with UK: Yes - 344 No - 79
Amendment D: Extension of negotiation period until there is consent in both parliaments: Yes - 181 No - 339
September 2016: Scottish Independence Bill (UK): Yes - 316, No - 271
Amendment A: Requirement of a second referendum: Yes - 401 No - 122
Amendment B: Opening negotiations on the Davidson-Gove Compromise: Yes - 176 No - 221
Amendment C: Three year delay on independence: Yes - 474 No - 88
The UK government refused to agree to holding negotiations unless there was an iron-clad agreement to holding a referendum on the deal. However, as Scotland does not agree to this, the UK government is forced to go back to parliament.

November 2016: Unilateral Declaration of Independence Bill (Scotland): Yes - 61 No - 62

February 2017: Scottish Independence Referendum (2): Yes - 59.8% No - 40.2%

Scotland attempted to push the issue of leaving the UK by leaving without a deal, however, as this does not pass the Scottish government is forced to hold a second referendum. English jubilation over this outcome does not last long, however. The UK government attempts t push the second proviso of their Independence Bill - a three year delay to further negotiate independence and to transition. Scotland however refused this, forcing parliament to ratify a deal they did not, in fact, support.

March 2017: Scottish Independence Deal (UK): No - 186 Yes - 185

May 2017: Unilateral Declaration of Independence Bill (Scotland) - Yes - 81 No - 48

Parliament refused to pass Theresa May's deal with Scotland, however, this is the last straw for the Scottish government. The Scottish parliament agrees to leave unilaterally, leaving Westminster to merely ratify this decision or accept a no deal end of the Union.

May 2017: Scottish Independence Deal (UK): Yes: 491 No: 37

2017-0000: Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) coalition with Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru)

October 2017: Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) [283] Michael Gove (Conservative) [263] Michelle O'Neill (Sinn Fein) [9] Arlene Foster (DUP) [8] Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru) [12] Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) [6] Nigel Farage (UKIP) [6] Caroline Lucas (Green Party England & Wales) [1] Chuka Umunna (Change UK) [1] Sylvia Herman (Independent) [1] John Bercow (Speaker) [1]

It is indeed the actual King of Württemberg, that is, William I of Württemberg, and, yes, I found that amusing myself; though it wouldn’t have been an obscure inheritance ITTL, because he was the eldest child of Princess Augusta of Great Britain’s (OTL George III’s elder sister) eldest child, Augusta of Brunswick, who very, very long predeceased her mother (she died in her early twenties, before the French Revolution, but having already had four children).

Which begs the question of whether the heir to the heir to the throne would’ve been married off like that, but obviously that makes the list a bit tricky.

Also begs the question of just how the hell marriage politics would work ITTL - does British law allow for matrilineal marriage?

No, but, of course, England hasn’t really been especially loyal to any particular Royal House as The Royal House since the Tudors; but, yes, if Princess Augusta had been heiress the throne, with Frederick dead, she would probably not have been married to the Duke of Brunswick, and her daughter, Augusta, who would have been Princess of Wales, would not have been married off to the Duke of Württemberg; as British heirs, they probably would have been specifically married to unlanded nobles related to monarchs, rather than monarchs.

EDIT: But yeah, all my list really does is track where that line went IOTL, not actually chart a realistic TL if such a thing had happened.
