Yeah, but a Socialist party winning in the Confederate States? The CSA is normally quite conservative or populist, never explicitly socialist.

I have read many cases of the reactionary/fascist Confederacy many times over. Most of them seem to be centred on the idea of the Confederate States as it was founded and the current status of the Southeastern United States. My timeline, as I have been working on for quite a many years by this point, poses a different look at the overall evolution of the Confederate States throughout its history.

The events that transpired from Reconstruction to now never happened in my timeline. I feel that the reasoning behind my evolution is sufficient enough to explain the different political landscape of the Confederate States, along with the different ideological strains that run through the country.

Furthermore, I would also attribute the actual policies of the Socialist Worker's Union to not being what one would consider Socialist in our own time frame. Confederate Socialism has a different definition than the one prevalent in the former Soviet Union or in the European Union. If you will, imagine it as a misnomer of sorts, or how today U.S. President Obama is refereed to as "Socialist" or "Communist" when it is painfully misleading.

That's different though, it's his political enemies trying to smear him as an ideological extremist.

I understand your point, but may I suggest an alternate name for the party, like the Populist Party?

Florida general election, 2014
Revision III: Sakura_F's Revenge

Now including "Florida First", an independence/autonomy party, and Farmer Labor, a party that generally represents the interests of Polk County and other agricultural counties. All of the politicians used are legitimate Florida Senate members. The number for voters is about 5.7million (based upon the numbers for the 2014 gubernatorial election); and 329 is just an arbitrary number I chose. I could've used 435 but that's lame.

Governor James "Duke" Aiona's Conservatives was elected in 2011 with a bare plurality over the traditional 'natural party of government', the Liberals.

His subsequent economic policies led to greater discontent and in 2013, with the Home Rule Party (Native Hawaiian interests'/Hawaii getting more power/maybe independence one day) and the Progressive Greens (a party to the left of the Liberals and BIG on green stuff) threatening to vote with the Liberals on a vote of no confidence, Aiona pre-emptived them and called a new election. After the traditional asking the King to agree (which has no legal status, Hawaii being a republic in the USA, and the King/Queen always say yes, because there's no real power for them to refuse), the election was set for July 20, 2013.

The Liberals ran a strong campaign, attacking Aiona's Conservatives on economic policy, and their leader David Ige being moderately popular helped.

The Home Rule Party's finances was a bit low due to the snap election and their polls were low too, but their leader Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole performed excellently in the one debate, setting out a vision for a sovereign Hawaii that would be tolerant and multicultural, yet celebrate native Hawaiian culture.

The Progressive Greens was on a bit of a high, with some disillusioned Liberals last time deciding to vote PGP this time around, but that boost started to shrink due to Ige deciding to shift a bit left to ward off the Prog-Green threat. Some left-nationalists also decided to go back to Home Rule.

In the end, Aiona's Conservatives got whupped and Ige's Liberals won a comfortable minority in which he could get things passed with help from the Prog-Greens or Home Rule, something Aiona lacked with his divisive policies that received very little opposition support.

Pretty new to this thing, but this is a Pennsylvania general election in the very nascent stages of development (yes, the wikibox template was the 1945 British election :p). Haven't done the actual results yet, just setting up the infobox itself.

The other parties that won seats and that I'm hoping to put on here:

Socialist Workers' Party (Trotskyist/militant labor) (leader: Rick Santorum of Butler)
Christian Union Party (religiously conservative, agrarian/small town) (leader: Sam Rohrer of Berks South)
Liberty Union ("libertarian"/paleoconservative) (leader: Scott Perry of York North)

I like it.
Arthenia Joyner does need more exposure. Speaking as someone who has met her in person, she's pretty awesome.

329 people is a bit high for a state legislature, (that's like what, one for every 55k people if the state's population is 18 million) but it's a good level of representation for a part-time legislature.

You say there are 250 seats in the Assembly, but the numbers of seats the parties have clearly exceeds that. And honestly, 250's a bit much for a state with the population of Pennsylvania. I recommend 200.

Side note: The missing 10% of Floridian legislators is attributed to a victory of a large number of small third-party groups attribution to a total of 10% of Florida's parliament.

Yeah, I didn't fix the numbers (they came from the 1945 British election).

Sticking with 250 seats though--gives just over 50,000 people per district.

Florida general election, 2010

This election marked the end of Buddy MacKay's rule over Florida from the death of Governor Lawton Chiles on December 12, 1998. After defeating a number of Conservative leaders, and creating a large number of voters rallying behind him or the Conservatives, his power was broken. Approximately 10% of the Floridian parliament went to various independent groups, typically with one seat per small party.

The Liberal Democrats lost 87 seats, 54 of which were picked up by Gardiner's Conservatives, who were viritolic against him. His defeat is attributed to the economic crisis in 2008. The Liberal Democrats had been running Florida since the 1992 special election.

Can you please not post these lists of previous BPPA infoboxes every time a new one is posted? The infoboxes themselves are fine, but the lists double the amount of posts without doubling the amount of infoboxes, so they feel kind of spammy. :eek:
