Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

Maybe my fave bit. Even as a popular front is being formed. Owen is still an awkward bastard.

Yeah the Liberals lurching left to join the popular front as Reform lurch right to join with One Nation Tory defectors is quite funny.

Also bittersweet because while the build up probably sucks for everyone involved the result might be worth it. Oh well that's the risk with AH.

Vague thought I had for a challenge: a list made up entirely of forgettable politicians being PM or president (some British examples might be Michael Stewart, Tom King and Bill Rodgers; John Thune springs to mind in the US). Maybe with the twist that in TTL they all have exciting and surprising premierships.

Ooh, that sounds fun. I would add Paddy Tipping to that list, because whilst I don’t think he’s forgettable for myself outside of Nottinghamshire he would raise a ‘Who?’

If there is one person who can form his own party and immediately poll at 30% it’s Trump.

Poll yes. Get that result when people cast ballots, nah.

And we're talking house seats too, here, not just Trump's vanity run, if I read correctly. Which means a lot of stuff to coordinate to help people who aren't called Trump get (re)elected. It's much more likely they run as republicans still, including bruising primaries.

Sir Simon Stevens Gets National Health Act Passed Through Parliament:
21st October 2020
"My dream since I became an MP is to help implement a true Socialised Medical System and today that dream becomes true" the grinning Sir Stevens said today in a Press Conference. The former manager of the National Health Scheme has long professed his belief in a Socialised Healthcare system which is free on point of use. With his unexpected 2019 Majority and support from Left Wing Party's, Steven's has managed to achieve this aim which was part of the "Three Core Tenants of Modern Social Democracy" expressed in the Andrew Fisher drafted Social Democrats 2019 manifesto. Whilst the National Democrats lead by Jo Swinson have criticised it as a wasteful use of Government resources compared to the 'Perfectly reasonable system of a National Health Insurance'. However Left Unity Health Critic Danielle Rowley said "With this bill, Simon Stevens has allowed millions of the poor, homeless and those who have fallen through the nets due to the National Democrats 'trim the fat' campaign to finally live the healthy and fulfilling lives that every human needs".

22nd October 2020
"If we want a Green, Sustainable Future we have to consider how to make our Towns Green and Sustainable, The Green Cooperative are the future of Green Towns and all Towns can become a Member of it..." Housing Minister Jonathan Reynolds. The Green Cooperative Scheme was set up by Anna Turley and Andrew Fisher as part of it's "Three Core Tenants of Modern Social Democracy", though criticism has come from Left Unity Co Leader Benali Hamdache who expresses that it's not just town's that have to be eco friendly, "We should be making our industries eco friendly too, of course the NUM has big pockets and they would rather avoid the idea of Britain ending coal production any time soon." Ian Lavery has refused to comment on the statement.
