Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

[Steve Brinson]

Wait has Gephardt said anything pro-Putin?

I kind of read him here as a Gerhard Schröder analog - IOTL he's been working as a lobbyist against recognizing the Armenian genocide, so it certainly doesn't seem out of character even if there's nothing specifically pro.Putin about his actions yet.

Michael Steed (Liberal)

Nice. Always love some Michael Steed.

1982 - 1986: Michael Foot (Labour)
1984 (Majority) def: Michael Steed & Bill Rodgers (Alliance: Liberal-Democratic), Airey Neave (Conservative)
1986 - 1993: Tony Benn (Labour)
1989 (Majority) def: Shirley Williams (New Democrat), Nigel Lawson (Conservative), Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party)
1993 - 1994: Gerald Kaufman (Labour)

This is a well down list, but I don’t think in a ‘Shore Wins’ world following a coup that it would Foot followed by Benn. The boring answer is that it’s probably Shore, maybe a Soft Leftie like John Silkin or a Harder Leftie like Gavin Strang followed by probably the golden boy Neil Kinnock leading till the Mid 90s.

Thank you. You’re probably right about Foot and Benn, but I mainly thought of Foot as sort of an acceptable not too radical Bevanite (this Britain is more left-wing than ours), and Benn a Europhillic left-wing reformist, who advocates for closer relations with Western Europe (Berlinguer gang rise up!) and to a lesser extent the Soviet Union. The EEC is something radically from OTL.

Kinnock becomes Cardiff City manager or something. My list is filled with clichés, but I specifically did not want to include him.

You know if you want a true Left Wing reformist Europhillic can I recommend Ken Coates who was a proper ‘Love Perestroika, EU and Socialism’ type (whilst also being a former Trotskyist and Workers Institute type). Hell he even supported joining the Euro.

Kinnock becomes Cardiff City manager or something. My list is filled with clichés, but I specifically did not want to include him.

Valid, it was a fun list all the same.

The Montagnard of Texas is a 1991 off-Walnut-Street musical by Ralph Kirshbaum and Harry Prince, dramatising the life of Friedrich Oswald, founder of the People's Republic of Texas, from his affluent beginnings in Barmen as an heir to the Ermen and Engels manufacturing concern, to the Treaty of Bettina that established Texan independence from Comancheria. Due to his Adelvereiner heritage, the musical was something of a passion project for Kirshbaum. While poorly received at first, with criticism directed at its historically inaccurate portrayals of Quanah Parker as a grey eminence manipulating his father and Mirabeau Lamar as a cynical opportunist, a later revival in 2003 garnered critical acclaim and was a narrow contender for a Thalia.

Due to its praise for Hegelian Socialism, the musical is officially banned in the following states: the French Empire and associated members of the Pan-Continental System, Carolina, Plymouth, and the Shogunate of Japan. Playbill is not legally liable for any prosecutions that may result from accessing this musical from these countries.

Notable performances:
Magarac Theatre, Philadelphia, Federated Union of America, 1991 (first production)

Donovan Hall, Manchester, United Kingdom, 2006 (won a Fitzwilliam Award for Best Foreign Musical)
Wintergarten Theatre, Prussia, 2011 (first foreign-language production, using Kirshbaum's notes on a hypothetical Texo-German version)

Presidents of the United States of America

1953-1955: Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican)
1952 (with Richard M. Nixon) def. Adlai Stevenson (Democratic)
1955-1955: Richard M. Nixon (Republican), Acting
1955-1961: Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican)
1956 (with Robert B. Anderson) def. Adlai Stevenson (Democratic)
1961-1962: Nelson Rockefeller (Republican)
1960 (with Thruston Morton) def. Harry F. Byrd (unpledged Democratic electors), Hubert H. Humphrey (Democratic)
1962-1962: Ezra Taft Benson (Republican), Acting [Emergency Government]
1962-1963: Nelson Rockefeller (Republican) [Emergency Government]
1963-1965: Thruston Morton (Republican) [Caretaker Administration]
1965-0000: Abraham Ribicoff (Democratic)
1964 (with George McGovern) def. Thruston Morton (Republican), George Wallace (Stand Up For America)

This was an idea I had for the List Challenge but have decided not to submit it.

The idea is that Nixon manages to shit the bed in 1955, and Eisenhower decides to drop him from the ticket. The set up to 1960 is rather different and Nelson Rockefeller is the frontrunner from the beginning. Kennedy fails to get off the starting blocks and Humphrey is more polarising leading to slates of unpledged electors taking the Deep South while the Republicans are only slightly pushed from the heights of Eisenhower era landslides.

A senior figure in Rockefeller's administration is one Henry Kissinger. Bay of Pigs is still a mess, but Rockefeller has no intention of letting Communism grow in the Caribbean. He holds to Kissinger's idea of the 'little' nuclear war, and does not blink in 1962 when its apparent that the Soviets intend to put missiles on Cuba. The limited exchange of nuclear weapons lead to the Crisis of 1962 in which most of the senior Cabinet go into hiding, allowing anti-Communist radical Taft Benson to run amuck for a few weeks before Rockefeller re-emerges to face impeachment.

Morton presides over years of tribunals and peace talks that slowly de-escalate the Hot War, and even harbours hopes of re-election in 1964. But there's very little enthusiasm behind his campaign, even if he is the beneficiary of a lot of good will. Instead its the Democrats who carry the day, promising to go further in ensuring that the remainder of the 20th Century will be decades of peace...

April 13, 1993: According to Kuwaiti authorities, fourteen Kuwaiti and Iraqi men believed to be working for Saddam Hussein smuggled bombs into Kuwait, planning to assassinate former president Bush by a car bomb during his visit to Kuwait University three months after he had left office (in January 1993).[81] Kuwaiti officials claimed to have foiled an alleged plot by the Iraqi Intelligence Service and arrested the suspected assassins. Two of the suspects, Wali Abdelhadi Ghazali and Raad Abdel-Amir al-Assadi, retracted their confessions at the trial, claiming that they were coerced.[82] Then-president Bill Clinton responded by launching a cruise missile attack on an Iraqi intelligence building in the Mansour district of Baghdad. The plot was used as one of the justifications for the Iraq Resolution authorizing the 2003 U.S. invasion of the country. An analysis by the CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center concludes the assassination plot was likely fabricated by Kuwaiti authorities.[83]

1980 def. Frank Church (D-ID)/Walter Mondale (D-MN)

The legend of Lyndon Johnson, destroyer of the CIA, reformer, and impeacher of one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States has been intertwined with discussions of him as being one of the best presidents in the history of the U.S. He was scared that his close defeat in 1960 would end his ambitions, but after gearing up for a 1964 Presidential campaign he found the skeletal dragon in Nixon's closet: Operation Northwoods. The revelation that Nixon bombed American soil sent shockwaves for decades and lead to the first successful impeachment of a president. It also leads to the Vice Presidency of Claude Pepper as Johnson really wants to lean into the cleanup of the Northwoods bombing. It also lead to the rise of the New Right who took control of the GOP for 16 years until it finally collapses with even "St. Ronnie" not working against the Dem machine. It took an economic recession and the Rockefeller Republicans to finally win and give the GOP their first win since the presidency of Nixon.

Quebec votes ‘Yes’ on independence, Tobin gets snubbed by the federal liberals, and thus Captain Canada drags the Maritimes into the United States. I would love to make lists for the Canadian successor states, but I’m not knowledgable enough about Canadian Politics. Just know that Canada (Ontario) is led by the Ford family in an even worse way than OTL.

With apologies to the Canadian users of course.
