Here's the idea -- find a PoD that alters a democratic country's political tradition -- can be any democratic country with two "major" parties, or at least "alignments" -- so that, in modern times, one side of the political debate is both more socially conservative/reactionary and more economically interventionist than the other (and conversely, the other side is both more socially liberal and economically libertarian than that side).

This democracy can be the United States (though I'd done a thread on that), Canada, anywhere in Europe, Japan, India, what have you. I don't know of any OTL examples of this, but I'd certainly be open to hearing them. Also, would there be any interesting butterflies from this?
