Classroom Debate, 2073: Can We Really Describe the Second American Revolution as a ‘Revolution’ if it Didn’t Abolish Wage Slavery and Retained the Capitalism of the First Republic?

[...]

Presidents of the People's Republic of America:
Fred Hampton (Popular Front) 1983-????

1983 def. Lyndon LaRouche (Independent)
1988 def. George Wallace III (Christian Democrats)
The idea that my man Fred Hampton doesn't abolish capitalism makes me sad
 
2015-2018: Thomas Mulcair (New Democratic)
2015 (Minority): Stephen Harper (Conservative), Bob Rae (Liberal), André Bellavance (Bloc Québécois), Elizabeth May (Green)
2017 Electoral Reform Referendum:
Question 1:
52% CHANGE, 48% NO CHANGE
Question 2: 47% RANKED CHOICE, 33% MMP, 20% STV

2019-: Mélanie Joly (Liberal)
2019: Chris Alexander (Conservative), Thomas Mulcair (New Democratic), Elizabeth May (Green), Denis Trudel (Bloc Québécois)
2023: Candice Bergen (Conservative), Svend Robinson (New Democratic), Nick Wright (Green), Denis Trudel (Bloc Québécois)

Justin Trudeau declines to run for Liberal leader and Bob Rae steps up to the plate in his place, despite the discontent of the remaining establishment of the ruined party. While Rae does much to rebuild the infrastructure and credibility of the Liberals the party remains firmly in third place through the 2011-2015 parliament, with the Conservatives and New Democrats tied in the polls right up to election night. Mulcair made history as the first NDP Prime Minister but his victory was heavily marred by his failure to win the popular vote and his reliance on the Liberals to pass any legislation. While the Liberals could say they were on a rebound, they quickly moved to push out their leader.

The Mulcair Government could best be described as "beleaguered". Most of its ministers were highly inexperienced and many were unprepared for the constant scrutiny and hostility of the press. Balancing the ambitious manifesto promises with a commitment to a balanced budget and the many constraints of a minority government proved to alienate vast swathes of the electoral coalition that had brought to power, as well as many activist groups and unions that would normally considered to be allies of the New Democrats.

They were helped however by the fractious state of the Liberals, who were still reckoning with their third-party status. Hoping to prove their relevance and wanting to keep the Conservatives out of power they worked closely with the NDP, especially on causes like electoral reform. A cross-party commission came to an agreement on the conditions of an electoral reform, a cause which the Liberals had become converted to in opposition. Held at a high ebb of Mulcair’s popularity and with even a significant minority of conservatives cautiously in favour of some sort of reform (still smarting from having won the popular vote in 2015), Canada unexpectedly voted to do away with first-past-the-post. The NDP was less thrilled by the electorate’s choice for its replacement.

But after 2017 things became difficult for the New Democrats. The construction of pipelines had the first NDP Prime Minister openly feuding with two NDP premiers and party delegates at the party’s annual convention, especially after the government allowed the Trans-Mountain pipeline project to collapse. But more damaging was the government in Mulcair’s home province. After three years of frosty relations with Pauline Marois his relations were little better with her successor Hélène David, who continued most of her predecessor’s’ policies against religious (but mostly non-Christian) symbols. While Mulcair’s opposition to said policies was popular within his party as the dispute went to the Supreme Court in late 2018 the Prime Minister’s stance had become poison in Quebec.

When Mulcair called an election in early 2019, hoping to win a majority, every major poll had the New Democrats and Conservatives tied. But the NDP’s poll rating dissolved almost as soon as the writs dropped, the party’s fragile coalition collapsing under the weight of its contradictions and three and a half disappointing years. Initially it appeared that the beneficiary of this would be Chris Alexander, a little-known Harper-era minister who had narrowly won the leadership as a moderate but had drifted to the right to meet his party and the increasingly anti-dipper mood. His non-position on the laïcité laws coming out of Quebec put his party in position to make a historic breakthrough in the province.

But both the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition had mistakenly written off the third party. After Rae jumped before he could be pushed the party, seemingly in a fit of pique, elected as their leader a 37 year old freshman MP whose main claim to came was nearly becoming Mayor of Montreal in 2013. But Mélanie Joly was a surprisingly tenacious leader and campaigner, rebuilding the party’s finances and recruiting a strong team of candidates and policymakers. While her early time as leader was dominated by a general perception of inexperience and unseriousness (heavily tinged by subtle and explicit misogyny), she was easily the most comfortable and competent campaigner during the 2019 election. Her debate performance, confronting Chris Alexander on the more reactionary elements of his shadow cabinet (specifically the homophobic comments of the former speaker turned Shadow Transport Minister), was widely seen as the turning point of the election. But her winning a majority on election night proved to be one of the greatest polling upsets in the history of Canadian polling, blamed on pollsters and pundits struggling to adjust to the new electoral system.

The Liberals, once again Canada’s party of government, have benefitted strongly from “Jolymania” and the worldwide attention involved. Her government had a surprising amount of continuity from its predecessor: negotiating with the provinces to create a nationwide system of universal childcare, a carbon tax and investments in public transport and infrastructure. Early on in the term however, Finance Minister Mark Carney quietly dropped the target of a balanced budget that had given his predecessor so much grief.

I'm reminded of a list back in the Old Country where, at some point in the early 21st century, the Liberals do sucessfully manage to introduce AV in Canada, and there first follows thirty years of uninterrupted Liberal government, followed by an unholy Conservative-NDP alliance coalition whose government programme more or less entirely consists of the point, "Return to FPTP and then call fresh elections!"

A Scottish-born shipbuilder of Irish parentage, Eric Poole (fictional), first became involved in politics in the attention-raising campaign of the Irish Anti-Partition League in several Great British constituencies in 1950, standing on his own account in the more limited attempt which came the next year. With his national sense kindled, he became one of the few people to emigrate from Glasgow to Ireland, and became involved in the left-wing Republican party Clann na Poblachta, where he encountered the ideas of Catholic Social Action, Distributism, monetary reform and environmentalism that would shape all of his future political activities. However, the depressed economic situation of Ireland at that time pushed him to return to Britain - this time to Liverpool, where Poole encountered a small group of Social Credit obsessives organised by Anthony Cooney.

Cooney's circle began to contest local elections in Liverpool under the name of the 'League of Independent Voters', following C. H. Douglas' anti-party precepts. Fortuitously, the choice of this name enabled the group to print leaflets bearing the motto "Vote L.I.V - E. R. Poole", which are generally supposed to be the only reason why Poole won a seat on the Council. Largely taking Catholic and above all Irish voters from Labour, Poole encountered resistance from the Liverpool Protestant Party, and ultimately the local political scene became mired in a bitter struggle between the two groups - especially once the Troubles hotted up. Come 1970, the parliamentary seat of Liverpool Scotland was won with about a quarter of the vote by Poole, beating the Protestants, a new Labour candidate and the Tories. But by this point, he had become so associated with the 'Ulster issue' that he had joined the National Democratic Party, which had been established earlier in the 60s to revitalise mainstream nationalism.

Poole immediately became notorious for his condemnations of human rights abuses by Stormont and, later, the British Army. However, before he'd got his feet under the table of the Commons tearoom, the National Democratic Party had voted to join up with the newly founded SDLP - which didn't want to make trouble by contesting British seats, and therefore rejected Poole's application to join. For the rest of the term, Poole sat under the designation of his own 'continuity' NDP, based entirely on his Liverpudlian machine. Adverse boundary changes and an increasing hostility to Irish nationalism lost him his seat, and Poole next showed up trying to jump on the bandwagon of the SNP surge of the 1970s - right after the peak of the wave.

Now hungry for prominence, and unqualified for any equally remunerative profession, Poole went to Ulster and got involved in the IIP (inheritor of the Nationalist tradition and of some Republican sectors), in whose interest he intimidated the SDLP into standing down in Mid Ulster at the subsequent election. However, the internal contradictions of the IIP were heightened through the H-Block protests and Poole ultimately broke with them over the IIP's abstention from the 1982 constitutional convention elections, fearing that they would also abstain from supporting him at the next election. Instead, he analysed the situation and concluded that the next big thing would be the Green movement. Having espoused afforestation since the 1950s, and considering their sub-anarchist philosophy to be compatible with his continuing distributism and social credit economics, he joined up, thus becoming the country's first green MP. As a bonus, he didn't have to change the colour of his election posters.

After his loss in 1983, Poole essentially became irrelevant to any genuine conception of 'politics'. A Catholic environmentalist party invited him to be a celebrity candidate at the next European elections, but only as a 'Listdouwer'. This got him a mention in the mediocre final series of the Rik Mayall sitcom The New Statesman, which will probably be his most lasting legacy. Finally settling in London, he stood in '87 for the Irish Civil Rights Association (consequently being expelled from the Irish Civil Rights Association, who hadn't been consulted) and was then recruited by the Humanist movement of the Chilean prophet Silo, who encouraged him to stand as a spoiler candidate against the genuine Green Party in the Vauxhall by-election. The latter were increasingly of the opinion that climate change was real, which was somewhat beyond the environmental outlook of Eric Poole. If he hadn't stood, his vote would probably have gone en bloc to David Icke, who would consequently have won the seat.

This was the last political activity taken by Poole, although he continued to write Social Credit pamphlets (and, regrettably, satirical poetry) until his death in 2012.

2060: Isra Hirsi / Yeezy Larsen (Democratic-Socialist)


America still hasn’t overcome the shock of self-proclaimed Anti-statist “Bro” Jackson’s victory last Tuesday in the 2060 Presidential election. The country known for its left-wing politics and the dominance of Democratic-Socialist party elected the former Congressman from North Carolina over Minnesota Senator Isra Hirsi, the first Muslim woman to appear on a major party ticket. While outgoing Jon Ossoff stated that he’s looking forward to meeting the president-elect, other members of the Democratic-Socialists are far less excited about the upcoming presidency of the man who once advocated for the dissolution of the United States and who spoke at an assembly of post-left anarchist protest groups. Some have even advocated for the refusal to seat the Maine native, but no prior precedent exists to such a move and the 51% of the vote that he received is a clear majority.

President-elect Jackson decries what he describes as a smear campaign against his character and stated that “we are fucking done with Marxism, the state dictating everything we do, and the pointless War against Fascism in Russia”. Such talking points have made him especially popular among young voters. Voters aged 16-21 broke 80-18 for Jackson, while down-ballot Republicans barely got 60%. This is a still a massive feat however for the Republican party, which has increasingly become the party of young voters and shied away from ideologies like conservatism and Trumpism, that were dominant in the party during the 2020s and 2030s especially. The changing of the party coalitions can also be seen down-ballot as Jackson became the first Republican to win the state of Douglas and the first to win the election without winning the State of Utah since the 19th century. Many older Democratic-Socialist voters are still afraid that he’ll bring back the days of Trump and to a lesser extent John James. Millennial- and Gen Z- voters both voted for Senator Hirsi by more than 10%.

The VP-elect is even more unpopular among older voters however. The Vermont governor is even more radical than their boss. They not only is an anti-Statist, but also an outright Anarchist. 000-00-0000 (birth name Florence Mackey) refuses to take the oath of office as they does not consider themselve an American. While some Democratic-Socialists state that this means they cannot officially become the VP, 000-00-0000 disagrees with them and points out that the oath of office is strictly a tradition and not something that they actually has to take in order to become Vice-President. They also refuses to live in the Federal Strict during their vice-presidency and as an Agrarian instead wants to represent America’s rural population by living in a different rural county every 3 months. This move is especially popular among younger voters, which have become increasingly disillusioned with urban metropoles and prefer the isolation and communalism that is more present in Rural America.

Prime-Minister Aldridge of the Commonwealth of Great Britain and European Federation President Murat Onay have congratulated the president-elect and stated that they hope that the United States will continue to be a partner in the war against fascism in Russia and in the promotion of human rights, but neither showed enthusiasm in their message to the president-elect. Other national leaders of American allies like Aztlan, Israel-Palestine, New Zealand and Kurdistan had much more worried reactions to the results of the 2060 US election. Either way it will be interesting to see whether the Democratic-Socialist Senate will pass Jackson’s more radical proposals.

The ascension of Bro Jackson to the presidency brought with it, the end of the post-postmodernist era of the United States. In its stead antimodernism as the new dominant cultural force across the Americas. This new ideology did not just challenge the democratic socialist fabric of American society, but the very definition of governance itself. The Republican party, finding itself the natural party of government again, dismantled institutions left, right and centre. The America they created became a bastion of anarchism, religious spiritualism, communalism, and agrarianism, and largely abandoned it’s socialist and capitalist past. America freed itself of the worldly boundaries, and finally became an idea first, and a state second.

However, as always the new philosophical currents failed to be the perfect answer to America’s problems. The DSA, long struggling to adapt to this new America, experimented with moderate anarcha-communism in the 2070s, only to abandon it for post-strasserism, and dirtbag-leftism later in the century. As the 22nd century appeared om the horizon, this gradual abandonment of liberalism gave way to the re-emergence of 19th and 20th century communists like Marx, Stalin and Guzmán, and the development of the philosophy of Neomodernism. A new young generation, fed up with the nihilism, hedonism, and focus on the arts and zoology of the America that their elders created, finally came to power in the 22th century, and dismantled the old United States, and replaced it with an authoritarian communist state, which has started to spread the ethereal truth of Marxist-Engelsite-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist-Guzmánism to the rest of the globe and cosmos.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (or TJ as his friends called him) was the son of American businessman Theodore Roosevelt Sr. and an American political figure both in the final decades of the 19th Century as well as the American Interconstitutional Era.

Roosevelt truly began his political career during his time studying at Harvard University, becoming a well-known figure among that school’s fraternal organizations. After graduating with honors, he worked at the law firm of former Senator Roscoe Conkling, and he became the older man’s protégé. Conkling later encouraged Roosevelt to seek public office, using some favors to get him elected to the State Assembly.

As an Assemblyman, Roosevelt quickly proved himself an able mover-and-shaker in the New York State political scene, even serving a term as Speaker of the Assembly. Roosevelt’s first great failure would happen following the 1892 Union Party Convention, where he led the Establishment against the candidacy of the populist General Nelson A. Miles. Miles succeeded and turned the considerable powers of the Party apparatus against any would-be rivals, including Roosevelt who was ‘encouraged’ to retire from elected office for the sake of his young family.

He still had many friends despite his ignominious fall from grace and eventually became the leader of the New York political machine in Tammany Hall, from where he orchestrated the Consolidation of the Four Boroughs into one New York City. He then launched a campaign to become the first Mayor of the new expanded City. He then challenged his old enemy President Miles when the latter sought a third term in 1900, though he was soundly defeated in the undemocratic halls of power of the nation’s Dominant Party of Government. Roosevelt never knew how to quit when he was beaten however and ran a quixotic Independent bid against Miles.

For his insult to the Glorious Leader, the Union Party orchestrated a primary challenge against Mayor Roosevelt, and for this second wounding of his pride, he renounced his membership in the Union Party and retired to a law practice. However, in 1905 Roosevelt ran as an Independent for Governor of New York, riding the growing anti-Miles discontent against a scandal-ridden incumbent.

He did not achieve much as Governor due to the Union Party’s stranglehold on the Legislature and Judiciary but spoke against the Authoritarian tendencies of the President [and survived two separate assassination attempts]. Things came to a head following the President’s abrogation of the 1908 Presidential Election and arrest and ‘mysterious death’ of the Anti-Reelectionist candidate Joseph Cannon. Roosevelt followed the example of 19 other State Governors in nullifying Presidential authority considering what international observers called a self-coup.

Roosevelt was removed from office by the New York Militia but was freed from custody by sympathizers in the US Army. He organized a resistance against the President on the East Coast, dubbed the Miles Opposition Front which later joined with the wider Coalition of Freedom in the emerging Civil War. Following the defeat of the Junta in 1912, he was restored to the Governorship and was later one of the primary organizers of the failed Second Philadelphia Convention.

The Governor did not allow his failure to deter him from trying to salvage a semblance of normalcy from the growing Warlordism of the Interconstitutional Era. He combined his State of New York with Pennsylvania and New Jersey into a Philadelphia Government, one of two cliques to maintain civilian government alongside Richmond. After serving a single term as its Chief Executive, he retired to write his memoirs, remarking to a reporter “Politics is young man’s game, and I no longer am one.”

However, Roosevelt came out of retirement for one last ride at the age of 65 following the loss of both Philadelphia and Roosevelt’s own New York City to the Atlantic Combine. He reorganized the government in Buffalo and defeated the Combine despite their Arab backers, bringing peace back to the Mid-Atlantic.

Roosevelt’s last project was the organization of the Great Truce of 1930 and that year’s Chicago Constitutional Convention. The convention saw the drafting of the parliamentary system that the American Republic uses to this day, and with one final victory in his belt, the Old Man of New York finally rested.

JUNE 1940: Shortly before the Democratic National Convention, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is injured falling down a flight of stairs. The incident spells doom for Roosevelt's bid for a third term, and the former president retreats to the world of writing before his death in 1952.

JULY 1940: Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy is nominated by the Democratic National Convention. With Roosevelt and Cordell Hull declining to run at the last minute, Kennedy's wealth afforded him an advantage over his unprepared rivals.

SEPTEMBER 1940: Presidential candidates Willkie and Kennedy face off in the nation's first presidential debate. While a majority believe the eloquent Willkie won, Kennedy's anti-interventionist message has motivated certain segments of the public.

NOVEMBER 1940: The race between Kennedy and Willkie remains too close to call, with Pennslyvania serving as the tipping point state. While Kennedy leads, a recount is declared. Protests break out in opposition, with revisionist historians claiming they were orchestrated by the Bufalino family. Eventually, Kennedy's victory is certified.

President-Elect Kennedy sparks tremendous controversy after claiming "Democracy is finished in England. It may be here." Pollster George Gallup quickly sees a wave of "buyers remorse" in light of Kennedy's comments.

NOVEMBER 1942: The Democratic Party suffers tremendous losses in the 1942 midterm elections. Nineteen days later, President Kennedy is assassinated by an anti-Catholic extremist. The subsequent US entry into World War II has sparked theories from revisionist historians (theories that resonated with war-weary members of the public).

AUGUST 1943: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, son of the former president, is court marshalled after several of his compatriots are killed in a Japanese attack.

SEPTEMBER 1957: Disgraced soldier John Fitzgerald Kennedy is found dead of a drug overdose. He is mourned by former First Lady Rose Kennedy and controversial attorney Bobby Kennedy.

The 1948 election would be the most contentious election America had experienced in 18 years. The Democrats had been kept out of power and had experienced the embarrassment of spending the 1930s being a third player compared to the Left Wing Progressive Party, as the party bickered about whether to play to Southern Conservative’s or reach out to Northern Liberals and MidWestern Populists which Cutting was doing with his ‘Fair Deal’ and ‘Justice Program’ series of economic reforms, job building and enacting of business and Labour Union reforms.

Cutting had been a popular if controversial president, his belief in Keneysianism and Social Credit informing much of his reasoning for combating the Grand Recession, a reaction to the perceived light touch of folks like Albert Ritchie and Jospeh C. O’Mahoney and his relationship with both big business and Labour Unions were strained as he was tough on both, both breaking up monopolies and endorsing strike breaking actions in Chicago and California.

Alf Landon, was the Moderate candidate of sorts, given his main opposition was Left Wing Populist William Langer in Republican Primaries he quickly became the unifying candidate. Langer formed his own party in response which rapidly took the winds out of the sails of the Progressive party which found itself awkwardly backing down and backing Langer to avoid splitting the Left Vote. With the air drifting from the Left Progressive movement, the Democrats found the ball in there park, and the nomination of Paul V. McNutt who backed the Fair Deal and his Labour Union running mate finally gave hope to the Democrats.

Langer would cause the 1940 election to be a tight affair, as Alf Landon just clinched a few electoral votes to victory, even if McNutt won the Popular Vote. 1944 was held during the midst of America’s war with Japan, and Landon won on a message of ‘Not Rocking The Boat’ helped by him choosing a running mate friendly to Labour Interests and Progressive’s and Democrats splitting the vote again.

So as Landon prepared to bow out, eyes turned to his potential replacement. Henry A. Wallace would win in a surprise upset at the Republican convention, leading to John W. Bricker to denounce the supposed Communist infiltration of the Convention, and he would form his own party with Southern Conservative and Texas Governor ‘Pappy’ O’Daniel. With the Republican’s a mess, eyes turned to the Democrats, as the Progressive’s decided to sign there own death warrant by pairing a Georgist with a Marxist running mate.

The Democrats pondered which direction to go, Clarence D. Martin campaigned as the voice of those Left Behind, Millard Tydings Campaigned as the ‘Steady As She Goes’ candidate and Huey P. Long would campaign as the Populist Man of the People, presenting himself as the Democrats answer to Cutting. In the end, Long would win.

Long would relish his chance, campaigning himself as the ‘Right Person, For the Right Time’ and saying ‘That finally, the Democrats will have a man who gets stuff done whilst in the White House’ which was popular with number of Working Class folks, managed to piss off a number of fans of Johnson, Howell and Ritchie.

Long would win the election on a campaign of change, he would be the man who brought about the America promised by folks like Bryan, Johnson and McNutt throughout the years. With a Liberal Labour Lawyer by his side, Long would win by a slim margin.

In office and proclaiming ‘A New American Century’ Long’s Populism knew no end. The problem would be that undercurrents Left bubbling under the surface of America, the Anti-Semitism brought by Cutting’s Introduction of Social Credit into the mainstream consciousness, Jim Crow left unresolved by a nervous Landon and Long’s own history of graft and controversy would lead to a fraught and chaotic 1950s as events overseas raised there head, as Bukharian and Strasser decided to deal with unresolved issues once and for all.

"these are strange times to be a queen: A Historical Analysis of the Crown Season 3"

Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom:
1959-1962: Hugh Gaitskell (Labour)†

1959 (Majority) def: Rab Butler (Conservative), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1962-1968: Anthony Greenwood (Labour)
1963 (Majority) def: Reginald Maudling (Conservative), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1968-1972: Peter Thorneycroft (Conservative)
1968 (Majority) def: Anthony Greenwood (Labour), Emlyn Hooson (Liberal)
1972-1973: John Profumo (Conservative)
1972 (Majority) def: Anthony Benn (Labour), Emlyn Hooson (Liberal), Ray Gunter (ILP)
1973-1977: Maurice Macmillan (Conservative)
1977-: Peter Shore (Labour)

1977 (Majority) def: Maurice Macmillan (Conservative), John Pardoe (Liberal), Jim Sillars (ILP)
1978 EEC Referendum: Stay In: 47% ,
Leave: 53%

"Season 3 of The Crown is certainly a contentious one, beginning in 1962 with the death Hugh Gaitskell (Mark Gatiss makes his final appearance as the Prime Minister in Episode 1: The Nation Mourns) and ending in 1978 as the EEC Referendum see's Britain leaving the EEC and the Queen (Olivia Coleman) asking Prince Philip (Tobias Menzies) where Britain future lies. Of course many are questioning the historical validity of the Season 3 and wondering how accurate it is as parts of it descend in to out right historical soap opera at points.

The Queen's relationship with Anthony Greenwood (Bertie Carvel) is presented as having a frosty relationship, particularly in the wake of the 1965 Pound Devaluation and his 1967 attempt to reform the House of Lords leading to an argument over the phone between the two about the rightful place of the House of Lords in British Society. This didn't happen and whilst the Queen had numerous disagreements with Greenwood, the pair had a cordial relationship with Greenwood being invited to tea by the Queen in the aftermath of 1965 funeral of Winston Churchill. In particular there seems to be theory presented that Greenwood was a mentor of sorts to Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor) during Episode 4: Tywysog Cymru which is rather contradictory to what actually happened (Greenwood only met Charles a few times and was noted as not being particularly impressed by him), given how additionally the events of said episode happened during Throneycroft's tenure it's rather baffling to see Greenwood around at all.

Peter Thorneycroft (Tim McInnerny) brief appearance (which mainly consists of him talking to the Queen about painting and having reservations about John Profumo) ignores his massive impact on the British economy as he attempted to convert Britain into a European Social Market state which combined his support for America's involvement in Vietnam would lead to his forced resignation as the Conservatives fell in the polls. The appearance of John Profumo (Alistair Petrie) is probably the closest that the Crown gets to turning into an outright black comedy as his brief period in office sees a miners strike, a sex scandal of his own doing and a botched withdrawal from Vietnam leading to his relationship with both Queen and Country being stretched. Whilst much of Profumo's sequence's cram most of his problems into his brief tenure ship (the withdrawal from Vietnam occurred during the end of Thorneycroft's Premiership) and his sex scandal is overanalysed (with the Crown bizarrely implying that it could have possible been a Soviet plot?) and does a lot to ignore the actual women involved. Additionally the show skips the drama occurring in the Labour Party and Tony Benn (who appears as just archive footage), which is fine because James Graham’s TV adaptation of ‘People’s Flag’ (2017) makes up for it.

Maurice Macmillan (Adrian Rawlins) is a sad chapter in the show, his scene with the Queen as he's recuperating from pneumonia and asking for him to go to the nation for a rather foregone election is a rather emotional scene, though much of the dialogue is fabricated it has been noted by the few people there that Macmillan was seemingly close to tears as he reminisced about the potential of his father only for the Queen to try and awkwardly cheer him up, which is played rather sweetly despite it all. Adrian Rawlins does seem to be on the way to winning a best supporting actor BAFTA so even if it wasn’t entirely correct, he caught the tone of Macmillan’s time right.

Peter Shore has become a fan favourite (Paul Ritter) getting on surprisingly well with the Queen despite his Left Wing Populist appearance. Shore deferential treatment towards British traditions and his belief in Socialist ideals leads to tensions between the Queen and his cabinet, which play out deliciously in Episode 10: Countdown as Shore puts staying in the EEC to a referendum, with the Queen trying to awkwardly convince him to not even try.

Many are looking forward to see the various clashes between Shore and Scargill, the attempt on the Queens life in 1980 and the raise of Prime Minister Heseltine in series 4.”
