Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

Great work on the Year-punk lists everyone!

Here's an early 2006-punk UK list to accompany my US one:

List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom
1997-2008: Tony Blair (Labour)
1997 def: John Major (Conservative), Paddy Ashdown (Lib Dem)
2001 def: William Hague (Conservative), Charles Kennedy (Lib Dem)
2005 def: Michael Howard (Conservative), Charles Kennedy (Lib Dem)

2008-2014: Gordon Brown (Labour)
2009 def: David Cameron (Conservative), Sir Menzies Campbell (Lib Dem)
2014-2019: David Cameron (Conservative, then Conservative minority from 2018)
2014 def: Gordon Brown (Labour), Chris Huhne (Lib Dem)
2019-????: David Miliband (Labour-Lib Dem coalition)
2019 def: David Cameron (Conservative), Chris Huhne (Lib Dem)

Full early 2006 assumptions are in play here: the economy and the housing market will continue to do well forever; the 'war on terror' rumbles on in the background with occasional low-level terrorist atrocities and western interventions while Russia and China do nothing beyond their own borders; whispers of pandemics always turn out to be overhyped by the media and fizzle out; Scottish nationalism, Euroscepticism and immigration are all constantly talked about but nothing seems to actually result from them. I recall in 2006 in interviews leading Conservatives were quite open that they saw the 'Cameron project' as a two-election job, as nobody could seriously expect to overcome Labour's majority in one election. The rest is fairly self-explanatory.
 
Here's an idea: (Year)-punk lists where we try to guess how commentators at the time might have predicted future elections from their own perspective. You can probably go maybe 20 years into the future from then before you start running out of plausible candidates.

One could do this for any era (e.g. it'd probably be fairly possible to look up speculation in the Gilded Age US for future candidates) but it's obviously easiest when it's an era one's lived through. For example, here's my forward-looking list from circa early 2006 when I first started hearing about US politics on forums.

List of Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the United States, 2001-2021
2001-2009: George W Bush / Dick Cheney (Republican)
2000 def: Al Gore / Joe Lieberman (Democratic)
2004 def: John Kerry / John Edwards (Democratic)

2009-2017: Hillary Clinton / Mark Warner (Democratic)
2008 def: Rudy Giuliani / Condoleezza Rice (Republican)

2018-present day Liz Kendall (Labour-Liberal Democrat Coalition)

This is a significant PM List in my updating of statistics - 2 December 2021 - the first day in SLP's history where David Miliband has appeared in PM lists more often than Ed Miliband
 
I think this may be the first of these I ever did, when I was trying to figure out where US politics would go next writing in late 2003. Because I was young and didn't know much about it, most of it is quite absurd. (I have filled in things like VPs and the 2012 onwards candidates, which I didn't think about at the time).

List of Presidents of the United States
2001-2005: George W. Bush / Dick Cheney (Republican)
2000 def: Al Gore / Joe Lieberman (Democratic)
2005-2009: Howard Dean / Wesley Clark (Democratic)
2004 def: George W. Bush / Dick Cheney (Republican)
2009-2013: Jeb Bush / Dino Rossi (Republican)
2008 def: Howard Dean / Wesley Clark (Democratic)
2013-2021: Evan Bayh / Peter Deutsch (Democratic)
2012 def: Jeb Bush / Dino Rossi (Republican)
2016 def: Pat Toomey / Herman Cain (Republican)


The basic idea here is the notion that it's now impossible for Republicans to win the popular vote (as was discussed pre-2004, and has since come back again) but they can still win in the electoral college, and there's a focus on Florida as a swing state due to being influenced by 2000 attitudes. I remember thinking that it looked as though Bush was on track to lose in 2004 (due to a slightly misleading way the papers here presented the poll of polls) but then it felt like the election might be a poisoned chalice and could lead to a couple of one-term presidents.
 
I am nothing if not on-brand.

Devaluation never takes place, the 'National Plan' kicks off a period of higher productivity and economic growth, and 'In Place of Strife' transforms industrial relations. Wilson goes down in history as a great reforming Prime Minister and the Conservative Party is forced to shift further to the left.

Sweden - 2010 punk

Prime Ministers of Sweden
2006 - 2016: Fredrik Reinfeldt, Moderate
2006 def: Göran Persson (Social Democrat), Maud Olofsson (Centre), Lars Leijonborg (People's), Göran Hägglund (Christian Democrats), Lars Ohly (Left), Mara Wetterstrand & Peter Eriksson (Green)
2010 def: Mona Sahlin (Social Democrat), Maria Wetterstrand & Peter Eriksson (Green), Jan Björklund (People's), Maud Olofsson (Centre), Jimmie Åkesson (Sweden Democrats), Lars Ohly (Left), Göran Hägglund (Christian Democrats)
2014 def: Thomas Östros (Social Democrats), Mikaela Valtersson & Gustav Fridolin (Green), Jan Björklund (People's), Jonas Sjöstedt (Left), Maud Olofsson (Centre), Göran Hägglund (Christian Democrats), Jimmie Åkesson (Sweden Democrats)

2016 - 2022: Anders Borg, Moderate
2018 def: Tomas Eneroth (Social Democrats), Birgitta Ohlsson (People's), Jonas Sjöstedt (Left), Fredrik Federley (Centre), Mikaela Valtersson & Gustav Fridolin (Green), Emma Henriksson (Family Party), Erik Almqvist (Sweden Democrats)
2022 - 20??: Mikael Damberg, Social Democrat
2022 def: Anders Borg (Moderate), Birgitta Ohlsson (People's), Jonas Sjöstedt (Left), Maria Ferm & Per Bolund (Green), Fredrik Federley (Centre), Emma Henriksson (Family Party)

The Moderate transformation into Sweden's new natural governing party continues after the 2010 election. The Social Democrats pick the incredibly uninspiring Thomas Östros to succeed Sahlin when she is forced out and he leads the party to an even worse defeat in 2014, with S losing its status as Sweden's largest political party for the first time in 97 years. The Sweden Democrats barely manage to stay above the 4% threshold and the Greens have a hugely successful election, resulting in another hung parliament. Having forged several agreements with the Greens in the 2010-14 parliament, Reinfeldt takes the step to resolve the parliamentary deadlock by inviting the Greens to join the government. Which they accept considering that there's no way that their first choice of forming a government with S is workable.

Two years later he resigns as the most successful Moderate leader in history, handing over the reins to his equally popular Finance Minister who leads the party to yet another victory. He defeats Tomas Eneroth, a somewhat stronger opponent than Östros who manages to claw back some of the ground lost in the past election, but not nearly enough. As expected, the Sweden Democrats turns out to be nothing more than New Democracy 2.0, even if it took them two elections to fall out of the Riksdag. The four original Alliance parties gain a majority and having lost a significant chunk of their left-leaning voters, the Greens opt to go into opposition in the hopes coming back stronger the next time.

In 2022 it's finally the turn of the Social Democrats to enter Rosenbad after a record 16 years out of power. The man who leads them back to power is Mikael Damberg, a "modernizer" within the party who runs on a platform which largely accepts a lot of the policies implemented during the years Reinfeldt and Borg have been in power. Though he still fails to make the Social Democrats the country's largest party again, as they narrowly lose out on that position to the Moderates, which remains the only party in Sweden with the support of more than 30% of voters.

----

I was conflicted on whether to have the Sweden Democrats drop below the 4% threshold after one term in parliament like New Democracy did in the 90s, as a lot of people thought they would in 2010. But they're kind of needed if the Greens are to join forces with the Alliance, which was also talked about quite a lot back then. So I went with some kind of of compromise solution where they go through a few rounds of massive infighting after the 2014 election and collapse in 2018 instead.

And believe it or not there was actually some suggestions that the Christian Democrats should change their name to the incredibly bland sounding "Family Party" after doing so badly in the 2010 election. So I kind of went with it.

Somebody upthread made a U.S. presidents analogy but in a small U.K. town, so here is a shorter such list of worse quality.

Mayors of New York City, 1982-present
1982–1989: Herman Badillo (Republican)
1981: def. Ed Koch (Democratic), John Lindsay (Independent)
1985: def. Abe Beame (Democratic)

1990–1993: Michael Rockefeller (Republican)
1989: def. Chuck Schumer (Democratic)
Initially just a donor to the New York GOP, near-death experiences first in Papua New Guinea and then during the 1984 Bronx riots persuades the New York scion to go into politics and eventually for the city’s top job. Initially popular and nigh-unbeatable in ‘93, an economic downturn and general fatigue spells doom for his mayoralty.
1994–2001: Eliot Spitzer (Democratic)
1993: def. Michael Rockefeller (Republican), Ron Lauder (Independent)
1997: def. Bill Paxon (Republican), Ron Lauder (Change)

The liberal champion of NYC — once nicknamed the “Sheriff on Wall Street” — proved to be a bit of a disappointment owing to the Republican Revolution of the mid-90s, forcing him to contend with the newly-conservative City Council. While he presided over an era of relative prosperity, most remember him first for his own record of martial infidelity. Despite this, whether through success or through hindsight, he maintains a good degree of popularity.
2002–2009: M. George Rockefeller (Republican)
2001: def. Mark Green (Democratic)
2005: def. Bernard Sanders (Democratic)

The folksier, unpolished son of the former mayor was unexpectedly thrown in the deep end when the 6/23 attack led to the bombing of the Chrysler Building, killing 240 and injuring hundreds more, as well as leading to the demolishing of the historied skyscraper. While unable to capture the Chrysler Bomber, he was able to push through a massive overhaul of the NYPD (granting them nigh-unprecedented resources and legal protections), as well as convince President Blunt to hold the newly-minted Department of Domestic Security’s test runs in the Big Apple, a poorly-handled snow season that paralysed parts of the city for weeks on end and economic downturn soon soured public opinion, and Rockefeller Jr. was pressured into stepping down.
2010–2017: Barack Obama (Democratic)
2009: def. Rudy Giuliani (Republican)
2013: def. Michael Bloomberg (Republican)

A former student at Columbia University turned civil rights lawyer and anti-poverty activist, then-State Representative Obama mounted a long-shot bid for Mayor against former First Lady (and sitting U.S. representative) Silda Spitzer for the Democratic nomination, shocking the New York political establishment by winning. Defeating unpopular former U.S. special counsel Rudy Giuliani for mayor, Obama’s idealistic vision for the future would collide with the less-than-optimistic political reality, and he found himself mired in gridlock against the old guard of the city bureaucracy. While he only barely managed to secure his main achievement — a permanently-funded citywide healthcare scheme — he is still fondly remembered as a beacon of hope for the city’s 10-million-strong population and a torchbearer for a more normal time. The arrest of the Chrysler Bomber and economic revival in the mid-2010s also boosted his record.
2018–2021: Kelsey Grammer (Republican)
2017: def. Silda Spitzer (Democratic)
The former “Cheers” and “Frasier” actor’s populist campaign proved to be a remarkably-accurate prediction of the 2018 midterms, where grassroots-funded Republicans ousted establishment candidates both in the primaries and the general election, sending a clear message against the beleaguered Landrieu administration (that is, if you ask the Republicans). While Grammer was significantly less right-wing than ideologues such as Chad Prather or Kelli Ward, he proved to be a competent campaigner, managing to narrowly beat the seemingly-invincible S. Spitzer campaign in one of the country’s most liberal places. His administration, however, left much to be desired, and ultimately a mismanaged COVID wave would prove to be his undoing.
2022–present: Joe Biden (Democratic)
2021: def. Kelsey Grammer (Republican)
While the native Pennsylvanian had settled down in Delaware, the near-death of his wife and infant son in 1970 convinced Biden to move to upstate New York, beginning a decade-long winding political career — county executive, state senator, U.S. representative, failed senate nominee, DOJ counsel, and finally a former Transport Secretary. Building relationships with the New York Democratic political elite and a friendship with then-just-a-professor Obama, Biden would dominate the field for mayor and narrowly oust Grammer as the nascent Mandel administration began to falter. Thus far, Biden has pledged to repair relations with Albany (still inhabited by Governor Chuck Schumer, now on his way to a fifth term in office), although reports indicate that Biden has his eye on revamping New York’s aging public transport network (though moderates on the city council stand in the way of that). Meanwhile, the Republican field for mayor has been frozen by Grammer’s potential comeback bid, with various other candidates jockeying for power behind the curtains. No matter what happens, New York politics promises to stay interesting.

Colors:
Democratic: FF66FF
Republican: 336699
Independent: 7C706B
Change: 74E39A
