Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

The Worldbuilding list behind my Vignette submission "Happy Birthday, you bastards"

Also technically a sequel to my previous list "George Bloody Canning" and a rewrite of a previous list.


2019-2019: Boris Johnson (Conservative Minority)
Boris Johnson (Conservative): Won Plurality

Def: Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) Collective Leadership (United to Remain: Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Green Party, Independent Conservative) Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) Arlene Foster (DUP) Mary Lou McDonald (Sinn Fein) Colum Eastwood (SDLP) Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) Naomi Long (Alliance) Nigel Farage (Brexit)
2019-2020: Ken Clarke (Independent Conservative leading Second Referendum Government, Labour- United To Remain (Lib Dem, Independent Conservative, Plaid Cymru, Green Party) with SNP and National Conservative S&C)
2020-Autumn 2021: Rory Stewart (Independent Conservative leading Covid National Government (Labour-Lib Dem- Independent Conservative, Plaid Cymru, Green, SNP, National Conservative)

2021 EU Referendum: 51% Remain.
Autumn 2022: Angela Rayner (Labour- United Ticket (Lib Dem, One Nation, Independent Labour) Coalition)
Def: Suella Braverman (Conservative) Jo Swinson/Rory Stwart (United) Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) Arlene Foster (DUP) Mary Lou McDonald (Sinn Fein) Colum Eastwood (SDLP) Naomi Long (Alliance) Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) Nigel Farage (Reform) Carla Denyer/Adrian Ramsay (Green)
2022 Electoral Reform Referendum: Question 1: 55% replace Question 2: 34% Proportional Representation
2024- Present Sir Ed Davey (United Liberal- Conservative Coalition)
Def: Rebecca Long-Bailey (Labour) Nigel Farage (Reform) Liz Truss (Conservative) Carla Denyer/Adrian Ramsay (Green) John Swinney (SNP) Mary Lou McDonald (Sinn Fein) Gavin Robinson (DUP) Colum Eastwood (SDLP) Naomi Long (Alliance) Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) Patrick Harvie/Lorna Slater (Scottish Greens)

The broad background is. May hangs on a little longer, meaning the Tories slip in the polls for a while longer. Boris Johnson takes a harder line on the Conservative Rebels, leading to a more concrete and broader United to Remain ticket between the Lib Dems, the rebels, PC and the Greens. Boris' campaign goes worse with him dodging a lot of criticism and souring public opinion on him. Its more a concept than some hard AH but by the end of it while he wins a plurality he's miles off a majority and a pro-second referendum government forms for in theory six months. Then the pandemic happens.

I'm really not sure on those two national government PMs and Id love to hear opinions.

Other people that came to mind are
Philip Hammond
Keir Starmer
Claire Wright
Someone random like Liz Saville-Roberts.
Another Labour Moderate perhaps.

Pondering expanding this. Don't know if they'd do a full coalition for a government that is basically just going to hold a second referendum. So some kinda Labour minority with a LOT of supply and confidence. But without Jez as PM

But within months it becomes a full covid National government.

wait sorry im stupid, which country is Mexico supposed to parallel here?
 
1933-1957: Huey Long (Democratic)
1932 (with David Walsh) def. Herbert Hoover (Republican)
1936 (with David Walsh) def. Alf Landon (Republican-Liberty League), Gerald Smith (Union)
1940 (with Paul McNutt) def. Gerald Nye (Republican-Liberty League-Union)
1944 (with John Winant) def. Carl Curtis (Republican-Liberty League-Union-States' Rights)
1948 (with Charles Poletti) def. Stuart Hamblen (Prohibition)
1952 (with Earl Long) def. Peyton March (Independent)
1956 (with Hubert Humphrey) def. unopposed

1957-1958: Hubert Humphrey (Democratic)
1958-1961: Hubert Humphrey (Workingman)
1961-xxxx: Matthew Ridgway (Independent)
1960 (with James Stewart) def. Russell Long (Democratic), Hubert Humphrey (Workingman), Adam Clayton Powell (Equality), Cleon Skousen (A Republic, Not A Democracy-Prohibition)

Not a ton to explain here. I remember thinking timelines where Huey Long becomes President needed more comments about him being elected for a seventh term. And I've also always been fascinated by the phenomenon where a loyal successor to a dictator or strongman ends up trying to forge his own path (usually ending up earning the ire of the strongman AND the opposition). So that's the idea here.

2024 (with Summer Lee) def. minor opposition

In 1928, after the premature death of their original candidate, New York Democrats sought a new nominee for Governor, and before going for FDR, they first aproached George R. Lunn, who was Lt. Governor a few years prior. Aside from being Lt. Governor, Lunn was also a former capital-S Socialist, affiliated with the ‘sewer socialist’ movement, and only drafted by the Democrats in the late 1910s. Since the Governor’s office catapulted Roosevelt to the Presidency four years, I wondered how an outright socialist would use the powers FDR had.

The main changes from OTL are that Lunn has a slightly more ambitious agenda, as well as surrounding himself with more outright socialists from his past, who convince the President into supporting the Spanish Republicans. This pushes Garner towards a third party run, though Lunn cruises towards re-election against his VP and the newspaper mogul who has more than just ideological reasons to oppose the President.

By the 1940 election Europe is in a state war, with the Germans breaking through the Ardennes, German and Polish forces riding towards Minsk, and Spanish people shooting at each other. The US had poured so many ‘volunteers’ into Spain over the past four years, that they were basically part of the war already. Hoover attempts to return to the presidency on a campaign of staying out of the European war, though he doesn’t manage to do much more than not repeat the past two embarrassing results for the Republican Party.

Even after their defeat, Republicans become increasingly critical of the level of aid Lunn is willing to give to the Western democracies and especially the USSR. These criticisms swiftly die down as a terrorist attack by the Bund against multiple synagogues in New York City officially draw the US into the conflict. With the GOP never recovering from their opposition to the war, especially after agreeing to a joint ticket in 1944 with Mayor LaGuardia as the number two.

Although President Lunn would see the end of the war, he passed away not long after, with VP LaGuardia succeeding him, who mostly continued Lunn’s effort in establishing the new socialist world order, even switching officially over to the Democratic Party, after the Republicans opposed many of his proposals. LaGuardia died shortly after, and with the Secretary of State’s office being vacant, the young Attorney General O’Connell became President. Although considered to be part of the left-wing of the party (which had already moved to the left violently over the past fifteen years), O’Connell wasn’t an outright Leninist, though he did have sympathies to the Leninist caucus, who would support him for re-election though his lack of support elsewhere forced him to concede to the Senator from California.

Jerry Voorhis was seen as a rising star within the party ever since being elected to Congress for the first time in 1936. This wasn’t just due to his handsome looks, as his investigations into corrupt dealing by oil companies during the Second Great War, and their subsequent nationalization, earned him the nickname ‘Kid Atlas’. Voorhis was also one of the most notable critics of the USSR’s human rights record, and after his election to the Presidency with the Puerto Rico Governor as his number two, he didn’t include any Leninists into his cabinet.

The snub by President Voorhis, led to a Leninist push towards taking control of state parties, which led to his shaky presidency’s downfall, as Mayor Marcantonio, with the support of the Leninists, won a majority over him. The Mayor would pass away shortly after, and be replaced on the top of the ticket by Washington Governor De Lacy, who was an even more committed towards Leninism. De Lacy’s eight year long Presidency saw the last ounces of capitalist opposition be crushed, and the establishment of the dominant party democracy, a hybrid between the one-party democracy of the USSR and the popular front democracy of Western Europe. De Lacy saw increasing internal opposition in his second term, and the resignation of fmr. President O’Connell as Attorney General, led to a trade union led overthrowal.

The Biemiller-Rhodes duumvirate was in turn overthrown by Meyer with the support of the social movements. Meyer was ironically picked as Rhodes’ VP as a reward for winning the Governorship in Vermont back in 1958, the last state where the Republicans were still in control. Meyer was succeeded by his VP Conyers, who became the first black president, though he only served one term due to corruption scandals. His successor Dellums, another black politician who rose to the forefront thanks to Meyer, also failed to complete eight years, as he similarly fell due to the corruption scandals, shortly before the end of his second term.

Bonior and Owens came from the same machine, though their lack of personal corruption, allowed them to become the longest serving president and vice president respectively. Nevertheless, even they would be forced out eventually, as a young generation fed up with the old ways found their messias in Meyer’s protégé.

Bernard Sanders had already served as President some twenty years ago, though his years in the wilderness had shifted him further to the left. As soon as his Presidency started, he got rid of several ‘untouchables’, with dozens of congressmen from New York alone facing criminal charges. Within his first six years, the average age of the Senate more than halved. Although some referred to Sanders’ handling as ‘purges’, he would lay down the most consequential presidency since Lunn. Ultimately, after twenty years in office, he paved the way for his personally chosen successor New York City Mayor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who as a 15-year old in 2004, was barely old enough to vote for Bernard Sanders.
 
The Long post gave me an idea.

He becomes an Oil Lawyer after Johnson loses the '48 Senate race and is eventually picked by Eisenhower to replace Leland Olds. He becomes the candidate of Republicans/Shivercrats to challenge incumbent Ralph Yarborough (getting out in time to avoid blame for the Financial Crisis on '58.)
