I happen to like Broadbent. In 1979, of course, Pierre Trudeau was the leader, so I'm obviously going to vote for the Liberals
Stronach is an unqualified hack, so of course I'd vote for the NDP in such a scenario.
Senate Map as of 1991
Red = 2 Republicans
Blue = 2 Democrats
Yellow = 2 Conservatives
Purple = 1 Democrat, 1 Republican
Green = 1 Democrat, 1 Conservative
Light Blue = 1 Democrat, 1 Independent
Orange = 1 Republican, 1 Conservative

My responses for the 'who'd you vote for' thing:
1964: Johnson/Humphrey
1968: Humphrey/Connally
1972: Humphrey/Howell
1976: I'm really torn, because MacBride has pretty reasonable social policy in my view, but since Howell is still a progressive populist I'd go Howell/Brewer
1980: MacBride/Cohn
1984: Unruh/Carey
1988: Black/Richardson since she was so influential in the successes of the Cohn administration and I can't bring myself to vote for a pro-lifer even if they promise free healthcare
In UK elections I'd probably vote Labour until Clement Freud turns up, at which point I'd vote for him. Idk where the 1980s boundaries include my hometown (which is a few miles outside of Cambridge), but if it's NE Cambs I'd vote for Freud and if it's SE Cambs either Pym or his Liberal opponent.
On a side note, I've probably made this remark before, but I'm intrigued by how Freak Power activism will affect South Park when it comes along.

No spoilers on that front - he's merely the Senior Senator as of the 'current time' ITTL.
With a lot of figures in the TL likely in their 40s through 60s during the main period covered so far, it's likely a lot of them will be reaching end of life around now.
We're reaching the time period where people born after the PoD will start to make an impact. Any original characters planned?
Legally old enough to run for several offices, including the House.
This reason is why I prefer to stop TL's around 35-36 years after a POD. When someone born after the story started could theoretically run for President.
