I missed this on first glance, but I really like the very bright color scheme.The Looong 90s
2017 - 2025: Fmr. Secretary Hillary Clinton (Democratic)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)

2008 def: Rudy Giuliani / Condoleezza Rice (Republican)

2017-????: George Pataki / Lynn Swann (Republican)

1966 punk or 'The Permanent White Heat of Revolution'
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.
The color scheme can be summed up as such: "Green For Gary, Blue For Bob!"
