Didn't realize Anderton ran for Mayor right before the earthquake. Would he have handled the aftermath differently?
He was actually ahead in the polls at first but fell behind after the first quake because of the incumbent's quick and active reaction to the disaster (including a massive concert in Hagley Park).

Anderton would have been less able to wring concessions out of Brownlee, a bit more gung-ho in defending ECan from the Enemies of Democracy, and would have got the Cathedral decision (i.e. the wrong one) sooner.

Glad to see others joining the party. Er, not that sort of party.

I've done Labour and Conservative so let's try the Lib Dems. Actually, there's a point, I was going to do Clegg but then I realised I have no idea how you'd show the result of a PR Euro-election. So let's do Cable instead. Fun fact: there is a Wiki page for his electoral history, but they list his Glasgow Corporation results as unknown, whereas muggins here found them in Google's unexpectedly comprehensive Glasgow Herald archives! Though I've not bothered putting in the votes here. Could be a future mapping project!

"John Vincent Cable" sounds 700% more Victorian than his shortened name.

Also enjoy how not one candidate stood against him more than once in Twickenham (while he was the incumbent - Mathias and Jessel were both incumbents themselves, so I'm not counting them). Even the Magna Carta Party found a new candidate on the second go.

Legally, you cannot go up against the Vince and survive. It's traditional that all his defeated opponents are killed to make a sumptuous victory feast and their souls rendered down into ink for Liberal Democrat leaflets by the B҉ig Ýellow Ma̢c̷hin͢e.

Would suggest not doing selections unless Actually Interesting (e.g. the Hampstead one), as they're hard to research for OTL ones (both dates and opponents) and difficult to make up convincingly.

I think I'd also tend towards putting Government/Party positions in chronological order to give a better feel of how the subject's career progresses - so for Cable, his spells as Deputy Leader and Business Secretary would go between being MP for Twickenham and losing his seat. YMMV though.

Also, for mine, I ended up having MP/Ministerial roles in black as they aren't an inherently partisan position (at least, not for that party).

I'm leaning that way as well, it just offends my sense of consistency to do it sometimes and not other times.

The problem is I can't figure out a consistent way to do this either - what you suggest would make logical sense but it runs into the risk of interrupting the aesthetically pleasing sequence of defeated opponents in small font.

The thought also occurred to me while I was making the Cable one, I think I'll go with that in future as well as it makes sense as you say.
 
Because Joe Biden brought it up.

Looping into the philosophical discussion above, have tried to segregate the Senate positions under their own clearly signposted subsection.

Oh, no - as in, after all the defeated opponents but before the next entry. See in my Anderton one, where he becomes the Progressive MP for Wigram in 2002, then we see his defeated opponents, and then we see him become Minister of Economic Development (shortly after the 2002 GE). It leaves something to be desired, but I think it basically works.
 
I actually have a prompt, because thanks to Mitro's Alternate History Weekly Update, I'm thinking about it again - one of the most pat USA PODs out there, that I think has lots of potential to Get Weird Fast, but usually all we see is either 'Tripartite Politics For No Reason' or 'Its A New Two Party System' and in both cases things turn out only cosmetically different to OTL. So I'd be interested in seeing Bespoke, Well-Crafted Takes on the following;

Bull Moose: Teddy Roosevelt Wins In 1912

Should the takes mention the world outside of the U.S political system and how an earlier entry into the war might see it end in 1917,with the monarchy still having a chance of survival in Germany and Lenin not being able to succeed with the October Revolution,meaning that there is a possibility for a surviving Russian Republic? Or is that considered too predictable?

its just a prompt my dude, do what you like

I don’t actually have a take on 1912 Progressive Roosevelt victory,I was just being curious.

I MIGHT do one where Schrank is successful in killing him and Teddy’s voters go to Taft or Johnson,but I got more important projects in the works so it’s just something of a future thing.

Sorry for wasting your time.
 
@Mumby

Taft gets assassinated in 1909, putting Sherman into office. Like with Taft, Sherman pisses off Roosevelt; but the new president is too frail to run again in 1912. Roosevelt wins, hoping to intervene in the upcoming European conflict. When the 1914 War does break out, the Triple Alliance wins by Christmas, leaving Roosevelt disappointed. In 1915, America enters on China’s side in the Second Sino-Japanese War, but the political chaos within China and fighting style of Japan made the conflict costly. Britain is offended upon hearing their ally is under attack, adding on to their anger over America’s neutrality. Sulzer gets elected on a progressive anti-war platform in 1916, but is ordered not to seek another term by the powers that be, lest they investigate into his corruption. Ford is a return to the old style of Bourbon Democrats domestically and withdraws the country into isolation. Miller’s union of the Roosevelt and Harding factions gives the Republicans a victory, but the Democrats and Socialists end up uniting over his pro-business attitudes.
