Putting that research to good use @AlfieJ - Bryan Gould often gets used (including by me) but in a sort of handwavy 'this happened, shut up' sort of way when it didn't seem that plausible, so good you've found a POD that works.
[2.3] 'I made it known that if he [Prescott] beat Hattersley they’d have to find another leader. Because… you know regardless of the vote for me then, it would have meant that the Labour Party wasn’t taking itself seriously and by that time I thought the least I could do was to ask the bloody party to be serious about itself' - Neil Kinnock, interview with the author.

#ReferendumNow #WilliamV #PresidentialFailureRees-Mogg was a surprise pick from the presidential primaries of 2023. His key policy is the abolition of the presidency. It is not clear, as yet, whether he can persuade Liz Truss to call for a referendum on the restoration of the monarchy and the coronation of William Windsor as King. Time will tell.

Absolutely love concepts like this. Have had that piece on my mind for a while as well so really happy to see someone put some welly into taking it further. Only issue - wasn’t Rowling elected for a single ten-year term in the original version?
I’ve been umming and ahhing about whether to post this comment, and I’ve decided I ought to, but before I do want to preface this by saying I love the list otherwise and don’t say this in order to attack or insult you (which I hope you know I wouldn’t anyway).Sometimes it was purely upsetting - for instance her long and eventually successful campaign to hound Munroe Bergdorf out of public life. Munroe would take her own life in 2022 following years of being inundated with death threats.

Anyway, here goes. I think this bit of this list is a little distasteful. I fully understand and agree with your disdain for Rowling, but I think this slightly weird fantasy of her driving someone to suicide is a bit weird and left a bad taste in my mouth. Now I might have missed something totally in which case please do tell me to fuck off, but if not this just feels a bit gross to me. Maybe it is plausible, but I still feel weird about someone (and particularly someone like you who I respect so much) posting stuff like that.

Was there anything of Rowling's subsequent descent and radicalisation into online extremism apparent in the spring of 2015? From memory she was just the author who couldn't stop retconning her own work, and initially even that began as some clumsy progressive pinkwashing. The "they just poo themselves and magic it away" weirdness came later.
Best case with President Rowling is, I think, that she is less bored and therefore gets less weird.
The concept of 'the President so awful that it makes the public wonder what the problem was we had with the monarchy anyway' is a fascinating one.
Especially if the lack of establishment means Andrew's been actually hung out to dry by the direct line of succession.
