As the last person (I have received @Edmund’s thing), should I just post it or send it to @sidewasy or what?
Just tell us when you're finished and we'll start posting them in here.

I’m finished.Just tell us when you're finished and we'll start posting them in here.
Think that means @Youngmarshall is up first.I’m finished.
I received the above and after a bit of research on the named individuals found out that Monja Jaona was indeed a Madgascan seperatist and socialist, and that Tawney was an English socialist thinker. I thought that if he's being named in propoganda in (what I took to be) a former colony he's probably fairly influential and I decided that in this world there would be a fairly leftist regime in the UK which was not much copied in the colonies. I decided that this would likely be a repeated pattern across the world and came up with a few similar figures. As I had a non-standard format I decided to carry on in a similar way.
So anyway, I ended up making the following:

And sent it to @Meadow
If I do another one of these I think I'll try to take a bit less of a kitchen sink approach but given this is I think my first posted Content ever I'm pretty happy.
@Meadow you're up!
Give him a chance to get home Max.
okay so mao described as a failed socialist leader probably means KMT china
Tawney College/Crossman Hall means there is Some Leftism happening in the ole' sceptred isle
I liked the idea of making an alt-Olympics poster that very clearly said China Ain't Red, but that seemed a little plain
so, naturally, I decided to deface it with an alt-version of an OTL slogan
so I needed something or someone that would feel strongly about giving a KMT regime in China legitimacy on the world stage in a TL where Britain has gone very, very, Hello My Name Is Michael Foot And I Would Like To Share With You This Most Amazing Enlightened Decolonisation
and who seemed to tilt at all possible windmills when it came to postcolonial foreign policy in britain and is also a racist meme?
that's right
it's ya boy

and then I sent it to @Makemakean by mistake
holy fucking shitAND AFTER ALL THIS TIME I CAN PROUDLY POST MY MASTERPIECE!!!
Okay, so, what did I know? Well, apparently the Nationalists somehow persevered in the Middle Kingdom, and the Republic of China is no mere island off the coast of Fujian. They’ve also decided to keep Beiping as the name of the city we know as Beijing, and in 1976, there’s an Olympics there. Which “Enoch” is calling for to be boycotted for some reason.
Well, forgive me for being vanilla basic, but I took “Enoch” to be Enoch Powell.
It didn’t seem unreasonable to assume that the KMT is maintaining some sort of shitty dictatorship in China, and seemed reasonable to assume that by 1976, the son of the Generalissimo, Ching Ching-kuo is in charge.
Well, I’m just going to assume that the setup is similar to when Carter called for the boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. The Chinese government has done something that is considered beyond the pale, like when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Maybe they’ve invaded Vietnam, or sent in tanks against independence protestors in Tibet, or maybe it’s that border with India spooking up or something.
Enoch Powell, I presumed him to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at this point, and like Carter vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, so Enoch vis-a-vis the RoC. He has Britain boycott the Olympics, and unlike Carter, he is a bit more successful, getting other nations to follow his lead. Who knows, he might get both Communist Russia and Capitalist America to take his side? The whole thing results in a massive humiliation for Chiang Ching-kuo’s government in Beiping. And, it ends up becoming a huge triumph for Enoch and British soft power that he is abl to pull this off.
Some ‘patriotic’, ‘loyal’, right-wing newspaper like The Sun or The Daily Mail consequently decides to run this cartoon to accompany an article about how ‘Britain is punching above its weight’: Fightin’ Brit Enoch vs. Babyface Chiang.

So basically I had a minor political party in the UK, the link to the European People's Party recently selected. It looked like the UK had gone multiparty, and also that Christian Democracy was more of a thing. So I started producing a list of similar parties in other EU countries. Which I then didn't really end up incorporating into the end result as I decided to try a more streamlined design to my usual manner. And so I ended up with this:
And then I sent it on to @Avalanches
EDIT: I've just noticed apparently the graphic started rebelling against my wonton overuse of the exclamation mark.
