Italian General Election of 2063
The were numerous concerns on the minds of Italian voters coming into the polls in 2063. Terrorism was a major issue, with the July 2062 bombings still prominent in the minds of many. Secession was another. The Lega Nord (LN), while nowhere near their 2043 peak, were growing in strength, once again threatening an UDI if calls for a referendum went unanswered. Corruption was a major third, with many concern with the government's accommodations with Le Decine, as well the influence of the Zentrum and the European Union.
The Civil Democratic Party (PDC) saw that its support was shaky, even within its own governing alliance. Common Good (BC), the alliance's left flank, was growing discontented with the current situation and the inability of the PDC to handle the permanent state of crisis. Our Party (PN), once hegemonic in the South, also saw its grip weakening, with anger at Le Decine's role in the bombings still salient. Taking advantage of this institutional weakness was Social Politic (PS), Italy's major synthesis Marxist party. PS leaders were able to weld together a vision of a new society together with propositions to put a stop to corruption and violence. Electing "better" leaders was not enough to end these problems, as the failure of the 5 Star Party (P5S) and the CDP had shown Italians in the past. Rather, participatory politics and economic democracy would be able to ensure that all Italians had plenty, and that peace could reign on the peninsula.
While the election was not a watershed moment, the PS's rise showed the cracks in Zenturm hegemony. The CDP's alliance was forced to form a coalition with PN's alliance in order to form a majority in the Chamber of Deputies. While the CDP had been able to govern as either a majority or minority government for the last decade, even under the reformed Italian election system, the PN demanded a spot in government, fearing that the CDP would turn against the mafia in order to secure public approval. Both the leaders and membership of BC were furious at the accommodation, as the party had made anti-corruption measures a key part of their agreement with the PDC. Disgusted, in 2065 the BC held an internal referendum on which alliance to associate with in the 2068 elections.

While Common Good promised to continue its term as a faithful member of the government, it would no longer associate with the Post-Liberals, and instead would seek an agreement with the Marxists. The PS confirmed that negotiations were underway, and going well. Poll numbers for both parties increased significantly, with the PDC's plummeting.
On December 13th, 2065, 13:15, three months after the second round results had been announced, a bomb exploded in the BC headquarters in Rome, collapsing half the building and killing 93 BC leaders and staffers. While security forces rebuffed public inquiry into the investigation, there was little doubt who was responsible.

This infobox is based off a President Forever Campaign Titled United "Kingdom"- 2012
Backstory: Following the defeat of the AV referendum in 2011, David Cameron introduces sweeping constitutional reforms to keep The Liberal Democrats in the coalition. The constitutional reforms include an elected President (the now 100% ceremonial Monarchy, i.e no more royal assents, that's the president's job now) and an elected house of lords, all while keeping the name the United Kingdom. After these reforms are set, the election of the president was scheduled to coincide with the local elections of 2012. After the first round where Nick Clegg (who has resigned as DPM) and George Osborne (also resigning as Chancellor) continue onto the second round, where it is a nailbiter.

I'd of thought the parties Leaders in the Lords would have been given top job, tbh.

If it were the way the wind was blowing, the Tories would do so if only because they would "do it right".
*Rants about how the Tories are Blairites and have no real conservative values*
*opens mouth to say Wales wouldn't vote for George Osborne*
*Thinks a bit more, and begrudgingly accept it as probable if it's a 2nd-round map against Nick Clegg of all people*

The infobox shouldn't have "(Italy)" in the PDC's name, since the context kind of informs you about it. Plus, it's a disambiguation.
Isn't the Five Star thing called Movimento 5 Stelle, as in Movement? Did they rename it? If so, I wonder why. (Oh, and you put it as "5SP" when it should be "P5S").
You're literally the Tory equivalent of Momentum.
Hmm - nice idea for a TL/RL...
@machinekng: Plus, three of the leaders started on 4 October in three different years?
Yeah. I noticed the first typo, but not the second. I can go fix them.
As for the 5 Star Movement, that name change was intentional. The 5 Stars shifted dramatically, becoming much more institutionalized. Nowadays, the 5 Star party is split between transhumanist populists, who seek to recapture to early spirit and successes of the movement, and paleoliberal Sardinian regionalists, who simply seek to use the party as a platform for Sardinian interests.
@machinekng: Plus, three of the leaders started on 4 October in three different years?
Fuck. Did not notice that one. I thought I had changed them around.
EDIT: All fixed.

There Ain't a Dime of Difference: 1992
The United States presidential election of 1988 was the 51st quadrennial United States presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1992. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton won the Democractic-Republican nomination, with super-delegates then selecting Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas as his running mate. The Reform Party, born out of citizen movement "United We Stand America" created by Texas businessman Ross Perot, would nominate him, with U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur of Ohio as his running-mate.
Incumbent President Bush had alienated much of his conservative base by breaking his 1988 campaign pledge against raising taxes. The economy was in recession and Bush's perceived greatest strength, foreign policy, was regarded as much less important following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the relatively peaceful climate in the Middle East after the defeat of Iraq in the Gulf War. After coming third in the New Hampshire primary behind Tsongas and Clinton he withdrew his candidacy. Clinton would in time clinch the nomination after having to deal with the twin insurgency campaigns of both Patrick Buchanan and Jerry Brown.
This election marked the seventeenth consecutive presidential victory for the Democratic-Republican Party.
Perot's campaign took 36.64% of the vote, drawing significant support and winning eight states for 32 electoral votes. This was noted for being the strongest performance of a second-party candidate since 1912.
Co-operartive MPs aren't distinct from Labour, it is required that they are members of both.
