elections

I am currently planning a scenario where the Weimar Republic lost the Rhineland completely but kept some mor eof their eastern lands and was wondering how this might effect the internal politics of Germany, specifically the presidential elections. Now for this scenario it is besides the point...

I recently got quite interested in how in the United States it is completely legal for someone to run for president while in prison. The most famous example was Eugene Debs in 1920 but it also happened with Lyndon LaRouche in 1992. Neither of these men actually came very close to winning the...

Hi, I wanted to do a TL on my own for the first time. My main inspiration for this idea is the Birth and Rise of the New Republic TL made by @Vinization . This TL will have a lot of focus on the main political events, however, it won't be as detailed as a TL about politics normally is. I wanted...

Renny Ottolina was a quite famous and influential Venezuelan broadcaster even today, considered a pioneer in many aspects of Venezuelan advertising, social communication and television production. Renny would leave Venezuelan television in 1973 as a result of an agreement between the three major...

The Ultimate Warrior, real name Jim Hellwig, was a professional wrestler in the 80s and early 90s. After his career ended, he became a conservative motivational speaker. During this time as a conservative speaker, he had many quotes about how much he hated the gays and the blacks... But that's...

The United States of America has existed for over 200 years, and due to it being a Democracy, has had many possible candidates for its presidency. Your challenge is to make the most original idea for a president of the USA possible, I'll start with my own idea: Elbridge Gerry would become close...

I'm thinking about writing a timeline with a wank Populist Republic, however, I'm having difficulty in trying to imagine how Brazilian elections would play out without the 1964 coup. I'm betting in either a JK or Carlos Lacerda winning in 1965, and the defeated candidate in that election winning...

With any POD after 1980 have a president lose their party’s primary when they are running for re-election. The reason I put this as 1980 and beyond is because 1976 is just obvious. Have fun!

The US famously really only has two parties that matter the most in politics, and that’s the Democrats and Republicans. But in the last 4 years or so, we’ve really seen diverging ideas within those political parties. Many of these ideologies would have their own parties if they weren’t part in...

Hello, this is my first TL ever. It will be an unorthodox Confederate victory scenario, in the sense that how we get there will be a bit strange. It came to me during a brain strorming session, as how to write such a thing WITHOUT screwing the Republican Party. As you can see from the title, Im...

Depending on whether their father Joseph Chamberlain manages to become Prime Minister himself (via some a few pre-1900 PODs) from around the late-1890s to early-1900s, the challenge is to lay the groundwork for a rivalry between Austen (who possibly merits living another year or few) and Neville...

Comrades! What if the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) were electorally successful? Here we are not positing socialising the means and tools of production under workers control and the abolition of the exploitation of man by man. Nor are we positing forming government by any mode. We are...

In 1990, David Duke ran for Senate in Louisiana, receiving 43.5% of the vote and very nearly forcing a runoff against incumbent senator J. Bennett Johnston. If Duke had somehow managed to win this race, what would have been the effects...

This is the story of the 45th United States President, Ronald Ernest Paul (2013-2017). Known by many as the figurehead of the Libertarian movement and godfather of the Tea Party, he was considered by many a longshot for the Presidential nomination and for winning the Presidency against then...

The PoD is the german 1932 election that made the NSDAP the largest party. Hitler controls 33.09% of the seats, the second in place is Otto Wels with 20.43% followed by the KPD of Thalmann with 16.86%. What can be made to prevent the nazis from passing the enabling act and taking total...

This is my first official timeline,I will only do short summaries for each presidents term,I will be using President Infinity for the General Elections ONLY I will write the results of the primaries. -Primaries won't be conventions and delegates,there will be one nation wide vote a national...

For elections I will be using President Inifinity-https://270soft.com/us-election-games/president-election-game-2016-infinity/ This means I really won't be using pre election polls consistently like most timelines on this forum. ( I will do some stuff leading...

This is my first official timeline so If I'm not great you all will know why :D Hillarys scandal happens before her announcement,making her want to focus on it and not the election,Trump just decides not to run.

Rudolf Hakonson was born in Northern Minnesota to Icelandic miner parents. After the Mesabi Mining Disasters he lead the charge to found the Mesabi Miners Party, which changed its name to the Minnesota Laborers Party in 1904. The Party would merge/take over the existing Socialist Party, lead by...

The Year is 1981. The United States has just elected a new leader. The world moves into a new and uncertain decade. These are tumultuous times indeed. "The President is due to give a luncheon address to representatives of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial...
