    Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    Well if they do yearn back for the good old days with Erlander and Ingvar Carlsson is ruled out (he and Palme weren't known as "Erlander's Boys" for no reason, after all) and Gunnar Sträng is obviously far too old, then I suppose Sten Andersson could be an alternative. He first became party...

    Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    It'll be interesting to see who succeeds Palme and potentially leads the Social Democrats back to power in '85. Even if it'll only be mentioned in passing. I'm currently listening to Ingvar Carlsson's latest book and it seems like he had no real ambition to become PM and was dead set on leaving...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Great update, but a minor nitpick: Mariehamn was not the capital of the Åland Islands at this point in time since the city wasn't founded until 1861 (named after the then-Empress consort of Russia). Åland didn't really have any capital at all this time (nor any cities, it was pretty much all...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I'm guessing that pretty much all of the new voters in Swedish elections will be eligible to vote in elections to the Burgher's and Peasant's estates respectively, right? Or does this mean that Sweden has abandoned the Riksdag of the Estates in favour of a bicameral parliament half a century...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Given the talk of tightening the bonds of Sweden and Norway I'm guessing that this is going to lead to more of an actual, close political union between Sweden and Norway. Rather what was pretty much a personal union IOTL, with two separate parliaments and little to unite them beyond a common...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    The Finnish People's Party (FPP) (Finnish: Suomalainen kansanpuolue (SKP), Swedish: Finska folkpartiet (FFP)) is a Finnish nationalist political party which was founded in 1962 as the Finnish People's Front. The party was formed by members of radical wing of the Democratic Coalition Party, who...

    Lazarus, Icarus, and Canadian Politics: An Infobox Timeline

    All caught up on this timeline now, and what a timeline it is! Listing every single MP and their ridings, that's some real commitment right there. BTW, regarding your concept list for Sweden, the Swedish name of the Social Democrats is Socialdemokraterna. And if you ever want any advice or...

    List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    I somehow had the feeling you would. ;) Gilles Duceppe as leader of the NDP? That's actually a really inspired choice, I'm almost envious that I didn't think of it first. :P

    List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Thanks! At first I was thinking about working in a Tory Tom Mulcair for a complete trifecta of party-swapping, but ultimately I decided against it. I've already used him as a Tory in my TL so it felt a bit like I would be repeating myself. As for Cruz, given the successful Stanfield premiership...

    List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    I got some inspiration from the discussion in this thread to make this list, though obviously the main premise of the thread is not included. List of Prime Ministers of Canada 1957-1963: John Diefenbaker, Progressive Conservative 1957: Progressive Conservative minority, def. Liberal (Louis St...

    WI: No Pierre Trudeau

    Sorry if I'm going of on a bit of a tangent, but what would actually happen if Winters dies during the campaign if he becomes leader? Obviously the Liberals would be thrown into disarray which would benefit both the Tories and the NDP but who would the Liberals pick to replace him in that case...

    WI: No Pierre Trudeau

    If one were to write a TL of this, things could be made extra exciting by having Winters pass away on the campaign trail which wouldn't be too much of leap considering that he died from a heart attack in 1969 IOTL.

    Or maybe even some Liberal/PC or PC/Liberal governments given enough time! :eek:

    WI: No Pierre Trudeau

    It's certainly an intriguing idea. I wonder if in a scenario where the Liberals pick a more centrist-leaning leader, or at least one who's not as appealing to leftwingers as Trudeau, you could see the development of some kind of three-party system where the NDP, LPC and PCs are all seen as...

    Think of the Djurgården Boys - A Co-Operative Wikibox TL

    If one were to use a single word to describe Peter Mandelson's tenure as leader of the Labour Party, "interesting" would certainly be the one you would use if you were diplomatically inclined. It certainly representated a rather clean break with the Straw Ministry, with a great deal of the most...
