I guessed. Beeching might have been kinder to Ireland than CIE was.
I guess Ireland really is the 51st state.My mate is from Donegal and his description of public transport there-in particularly the complete lack of railways-is horrifying.
I love the little nugget that is Jackson picking Carl Levin as his VP (probably) to apologize for the "Hymietown" incident.
A Reagan landslide followed by a Jackson landslide would be crazy whiplash, and with a probably 60ish seat Senate, it would be interesting to see what Jackson does with gigantic majorities.
Elections for the American House of Representatives- and therefore the Presidency and Senate- were held on November 3, 2020. The incumbent National-Conservative government of President Nicole Kim was defeated at the polls, with the left-wing Social Democratic Party winning a historic victory and getting a mandate to form a government. Social Democratic leader James Kaufman (OC) was therefore elected President in December in an agreement with the rest of the Pan-Left coalition. President Kim initially looked like a decent bet for re-election, with her moderate policies on gay rights and healthcare being mostly popular. However, relative mismanagement of the COVID-19 Pandemic resulted in rising numbers for the left, particularly the long-struggling Social Democratic Party, which had made large gains in the previous elections. The SDP promised increased relief checks, more spending on healthcare, and a continuation of socially liberal policies. In the concurrent Senate elections, the Pan-Left coalition gained a majority. Despite the popular vote disparity, Liberal candidates won more coalition primaries and more were therefore elected in November.
Kaufman and his SDP-ALP-GRN cabinet were sworn in on January 31, 2021 for a term ending four years later.
