Here's a thing.
The position of Prime Minister of Mexico, officially the Presidente del Gobierno de Mexico, is one with a long history. The position was established by the First Mexican Constitution in 1824 as a check on the power of the Emperor, but after the first few Prime Ministers the Emperor decided he didn't really like having his power checked and proceeded to appoint a number of yes-men.
That continued until 1885, when Emperor Felipe ordered the invasion of the United States as a result of 1) the American alliance with Britain, 2) the French alliance with Mexico, and 3) the ongoing conflict in West Africa - though it was really because of 0) Felipe's desire to show off all his shiny new French and German toys. This was, in the most charitable terms, a disaster, and it led to the Second Mexican Constitution, which massively checked the powers of the Emperor. However, this led to only modest gains in power for the Prime Ministership, as most of the executive power went to the President.
Pedro Ñuñez changed all that. The son of a Chihuahuan cowherd, he had the good fortune to become leader of the Partido Socialista right before the Great Panic of 1900, and then successfully rode the wave of popular anger to the head of Congress. Successfully convincing Emperor Salvador I and President Joaquin Ramirez to grant him emergency power, he saw Mexico rise from the ashes to become an economic power with bona-fide colonies (just Cuba and Guam, actually, but still) before his untimely death in 1917. His successors largely maintained that power, although lately the heads of powerful government departments like Secretary of State for the Interior Dionisio Marquez have begun to be seen as "powers behind the throne", as it were.
The current holder, Emiliano Alvarez, is the head of the Partido Conservador, or, as many call it, the Escoseses. A former prosecuting attorney noted for fighting corruption, Alvarez has thus far spent most of his tenure making sweeping cuts to spending, especially the military, and trying to end the last few price controls on consumer goods still extant. As a result, he is a polarizing figure, and has been in a public feud with the more hawkish Emperor, though he has something of a rapport with President Andrés Patil. Rumor has it that Chapultepec is considering invoking Article IX to call for elections within the year, a gamble which may well backfire.
As for the uniform, Prime Ministers customarily wear dress uniforms while in Congress, a practice not obeyed by Daniel Villar, Alvarez's predecessor, but brought back by Alvarez to appease traditionalists.

Joseph Stalin is a Soviet Lich and current leader of the Red Directorate. Formerly the Chairman of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and de facto leader of the same, he was transformed into a lich via a KGB experiment with Arthurian Prophetic-Memetic magic. Once known for his hardline anti-Atlantis stance, since the end of the Cold War he has embraced Crypto-Maoism and has stated to The Classifieds that Communism is "a battle we must fight only after the battle ahead".
Controversial for his authoritarian actions while leader of the USSR, Stalin remains a divisive figure in the Concealed Community.

The 1950 Monaco Grand Prix was the second race of the 1950 Formula One season and saw the race dominated by a nine driver pile up after a wave covered part of the track which caused the first lap pileup. After the race was red flagged, the restart would only see nine drivers competing in the race. In the end it was Alberto Ascari that took out the win to record the first win in a Formula One GP at Monaco.

EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR ONCE NO SERIOUSLY
A House race goes a bit differently - William Ayres holds his seat in 1970 (maybe with an ad campaign that doesn't accidentally reference Kent State) - he holds on in 1972 when Nixon beats McGovern / Flaherty by a healthy margin - and come 1973, with Agnew gone and Nixon looking set to resign any day now (actually going out and bugging those NH Ivy League student activists was a bad idea - and of course every scandal has to end in fucking 'mouth' now) - to make a long story short, Ayres is moderate (but still tough on unions) - a long-time Congressman and close to Nixon - unsurprisingly he gets picked for VP over Ford who's reluctant to even leave the House anyway.
Ayres becomes President of course - personable, an incorrigible self-promoter, but above all a decent, moderate guy, he tries to push through very tough times for the Republican Party. He appoints Ambassador Rush as VP as one of the few personally honest foreign affairs specialists - and Rush and Ayres are shocked like the rest of the nation as the criminal proceedings for Nixon drag on - and the President's poll numbers can't help but deflate. 'Ayres Cares' is a nice slogan going into 1976 - but with a weak economy and still troubled Republican Party - the President has little else to run on.
About the only thing helping him is the chaos the Democrats find themselves in; the primary is fragmented to say the least (and who knows, that honest former Governor might have had a chance had the Nixon proceedings gone some more obscure route) - but in the end liberal stalwart Walter Mondale triumphs and (reluctantly) takes the close second-place finisher, eccentric Governor of California Jerry Brown, as his running mate. And to be sure - a clearly socially liberal Democratic ticket definitely loses plenty of votes in the South. That's not really their base though, of course.
But -- well, there is no but. It's not even an exciting, long, drawn-out election night, with zany third-parties or mismatched tickets. Mondale wins New Jersey by a bit over 1% - one of his closest wins aside from measly North Dakota - and he's confirmed President-elect once decisive returns start coming in from the West Coast.
No recounts, no drama - once California's finally finished counting it's clear Ayres has won the popular vote by a little over a million votes (I said Democrats didn't do well in the South for once, didn't I?) but hey - both candidates are competent guys. Mondale winning isn't the end of the world.
That's all.

I'm not sure what was better at this point - the wikibox or the reactions to it. It certainly deserved more than a couple of clicks on 'like.'
And yes, more please. Despite fearing what's next...
I've got the lizardmen planned, don't you worry.
Judaism, like most religions, is a low-level memetic magic capable of occasional miracles and warding off vampires. But there's nothing inherently conspiratorial about the religion in particular. Some Jews are In On It, but not because they're Jews, but because they're rich or politicians or for other reasons.
