What happened to Cameron?

What happened to Cameron?

Cameron has said repeatedly that's he will not run for a third term.

What happened to Cameron?

Cameron has expressed that he won't run in 2020. Although he said he wants to serve a full second term, I think he made a similar kind of political miscalculation that Tony Blair did when he stated that he'd serve a full third term but not seek a fourth. If the heat really turns up on Cameron, especially considering his bare parliamentary majority that he could very well lose in by-elections, he'll probably be pressured into stepping aside for Osbourne.

Also, why is it so common for Longstreet to be the Confederate General President. There were tons of other Generals who were interested in politics, but it's always Longstreet.

Well I picked the ones I'd figure could get elected, Longstreet, Beauregard and Bobby Lee's nephew; I could have used Jackson but ehh.

Also, Longstreet was a Radical Republican IOTL.

For some reason, Reform Party sounds very late 1900s as opposed to 1800s.

Why does UKIP go up in votes and seats?​

Why does UKIP go up in votes and seats?

A continuing/worse refugee crisis I would presume.

That won't matter much if the party is seen as a Nigel Farage personality cult, which is where it seems to be going atm.

How did the Liberals and Social Credit merge? What would they even agree on?

Both of them are left-wing parties, even though the Liberals are toward the center.

I think it's because of Turtledove.

Hard to see turnout going down next time, especially if it's that close. I'd be mildly surprised if turnout doesn't reach 70% next time.​

Social Credit was never "left-wing".

 

[Indicus]

Social Credit was never "left-wing".

Indeed. Its Great Depression platform consisted of giving everyone 25 cents (or dollars, I can't recall right now), basically one huge tax rebate for everyone. I believe tax cuts and the like are right-wing.

I don't know if everyone was taxed in Alberta during the 1930s, but the basic income isn't necessarily right-wing; although the Alberta SocCreds were very much right-wing, even during the 1930s when they were actually advocating Social Credit.
