Oh dear sorry I wasn't meaning in THAT way. I stupidly assumed people knew I was joking.

"President Roosevelt's scheme for an American National Health Service is not just another foolhardy government spending program. The ANHS will transform the United States into a socialist state; which according to the Marxists is the last step before Communism... It is clear the end goal of these "democratic socialists" is the triumph of godless communism and the death of freedom and constitutional rule. Socialized medicine will kill the Republic."- Senator Robert Taft

"We expected this sort of tyranny from the Warren administration. But Mrs. Roosevelt has surpassed Warren as a Negro-lover of the highest order. I still can't believe she appointed that black fellow Bunche as Secretary of State. And it's getting worse. This so called civil rights bill is the worst depredation to fall upon the South since General Sherman. Unless Roosevelt and her liberal friends are stopped, white supremacy will be eradicated altogether, and the United States will descend into the savage barbarism of Negro rule. I cannot remain a member of a party that sanctions such evil."- South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond

"A great Republican once said the business of America is business. Unfortunately, our government seems intent on crushing business, the free enterprise that made America great. The White House is infested with Reds, with Ivy League eggheads and foreign agents. Inept losers! The only things these incompetents are capable of is intentionally ruining the economy. Roosevelt's Whiz Kids have cooked the books! Our debt is exploding, our economy is imploding, and the Washington elitists are lying to you! Even worse, the Roosevelt administration is letting in undesirables from backwater countries. These braceros, they're all violent criminals. They're bringing drugs, they're violating our women. They threaten the race purity of our children. No more I say! We need a businessman to set things straight. Which is why I'm announcing I am running for the Republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States..."- Game show host Fred Trump on Walter Winchell's radio program

"The Eastern Establishment has totally destroyed the Republican Party. The Warren administration was infested with Democrats, and our Golden Boy Tom Dewey lost very badly because he was weak and stupid, and betrayed Republican values. If we nominate Lodge, we will lose like we did in '52. If nominate Stassen, we'll do even worse. What we need is a real man of the people, someone who tell it like it is. We need a real man who will put this malicious woman of a President in her rightful place. I call upon all delegates to cast their votes for Trump!"- Trump campaign manager Roy Cohn at the RNC

"The Republican Party has been kidnapped by a malevolent charlatan. The Party of Lincoln has become a haven for bigotry, extremist reactionaries, and race hatred. Mr. Trump is a demagogue with a capital D, appealing to America's worst instincts and impulses. It's fitting that he chose Senator Thurmond- both are nostalgic for the days of lynchings and old time prejudice. But alas, President Roosevelt is so far to the left that as a Republican, I cannot vote for her. Thus, I am coming out of retirement to provide a responsible choice for conscientious Republicans in the hope we can take back our party."- Former Vice President Thomas Dewey
"A television actor for President? That's just silly! They might as well nominate a circus clown; and name the Three Stooges to run the Cabinet! I have confidence the American people have the maturity and wisdom to reject such claptrap and hooey!"- President Roosevelt at the 1956 Convention

Most enjoyable, especially with the more understated aspects of the boxes themselves. It would be interesting to see what the seating of the legislature would look like.A collection of national legislatures from Qilai, Qilai.

The Parliament of the United Kingdom as of 2030, during the reign of King George VII. The Reform-Conservative Coalition is in a precarious place, as the Labour Party seems fit to shatter the alliance that has dominated British politics in the past decade. Prime Minister Marshall Tracy is facing a crisis of no confidence as the European Commonwealth has increased agitation campaigns in Northern Ireland, as well as the defection of a Reform MP to the SDP in late 2029. Labour has pledged, among other things, renewed ties with the Central European Defense Organization (constituting Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria) and the Tripartite Alliance of the United States, Soviet Union, and People's Republic of China.
The National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China is dominated by the Pan-Yellow Coalition, which draws it's origins as student liberals in the 1980s and 1990s. While initially supportive of the Democratic Progressive Party during their adolesence and young adulthood, the Pan-Yellow Coalition's essential leadership later coalesced into the Democratic Awakening. Their fortunes soared after the disasterous Ai Weiwei administration, which severely damaged the Pan-Red Coalition (at that time containing the Revolutionary KMT). By the later 2020s, the liberal coalition seemed fit to surge across China, and so it did.
As of 2030, the fortunes for the old guard of Mao and Chiang Kai-shek seem dim, as the two parties who sparked a prarie fire and a revolution, hold less than 30 seats combined, having been supplanted by newer ideas and fresher mindsets. The Pan-Red Coalition remains a contentious minority opposition, with the People's Party (Deng's old stomping ground) and the Communist Party of China (Dengist), a more orthodoxical Marxist organization, often debating Deng's true intentions for the future of China, with the Party of Chinese Social Democracy carrying the back-end.
The House of Commons of the Commonwealth of Canada as of 2030. Currently, the government in power is the Liberal Democratic Party under Prime Minister Rosalie Bouchard. Canada is certainly not a power to sniff at in 2030. An essential member of the Pan-American Common Market (PACM) and the Pacific Defense Organization (PDO), Canada is what is considered by many to be a 'minor-superpower' in the realm of the mega-superpowers. While not completely outside of American influence, Canadian presence in the UN and on the international stage is felt and respected by the Tripartite Powers. Canada currently has great relations with the People's Republic of China, but rocky relations with the Soviet Union, with whom there is often disputes over Arctic resources.

The United Kingdom general election of 2022 was held on 6 October to elect the 62nd Parliament of the United Kingdom. Although the Labour Party won the largest number of seats, they fell short of the 27 seats short of the required 326 seats needed to have an overall majority. It was the third time in the post war era that that a the results of a British general election was the returning of a hung parliament, and the first since 1979. The incumbent Conservative and Unionist Party lost nearly 40 seats but finished narrowly behind the Labour Party by a single seat. The third largest party, the National Liberal Association, gained only 10 seats despite opinion polls indicating a breakthrough and taking nearly a quarter of the vote, however still find themselves as the kingmakers in forming a new government, alongside the United Unionist Party of Northern Ireland and the Scottish National Party. The election notably also saw the Anti-Federalist Party win its first representation in the Commons as they took Boston and Skegness, and the National Health League win Mole Valley, both from the Conservative Party. With 24.7% of voters backing the NLA, the election saw the highest support for a single third party since 1929, and with 34% voting for parties other than Labour or the Conservatives, the highest such figure since the 1918 general election.
The incumbent Conservative Party had campaigned on a fifth consecutive election victory, a fourth under the leadership of Sir John Kay. The Labour Party sought to regain its position as a party of Government following a long spell in opposition, and to replace the Conservative Party as the governing party. The National Liberal's hoped to make gains at the expense of the Conservative and Labour Party, and either hold the balance in the next Parliament or be able to form and lead a National Unity Government. Following television debates, polling reflected a considerable rise in popularity for the National Liberal's and their Leader, Tavish Wilson, with a large swing from the Conservative Party and minor parties such as the Ecological Alliance, Progressive Party, and London First!. The majority of exit polls would overstate the collapse of the Conservative Party and Labour against the National Liberals, predicting Labour 32%; Conservative 27%; National Liberal 26%. However this was frustrated by a small but significant surge in the Conservative Party's support on polling day. Hoping to take advantage of what was seen by leader Francis Fox as "the collapse of the Ancien Régime" and frustration at Scotland's constitutional statues, the Scottish National Party felt poised to sweep Scotland in a near clear wash and put themselves into the kingmaker position. Smaller parties who saw success in local elections, such as the Anti-Federalist Party, Ecological Alliance, and London First! sought to replicate victories in Council's on the national level. The United Unionists' primary concern was holding all 11 seats, although they would lose 2 seats to the Ulster Liberal and Fianna Fáil, respectively.
It is the first election since 1993 in which two major party leaders faced their first election. It is understood that Sir John Kay, Britain's longest serving Prime Minister since the War, is expected to step down mid-way through the new Parliament if he is able to negotiate a renewed Conservative Government. The election results were broadcast live on the BBC, and presented by Richard Dimbleby.
Seriously?
What is this, 1971?
How about Eleonore Roosevelt?
Gloria Steinem (at least until her husband pre-deceased her)?
Maya Angelou?
Ruth Bader-Ginsburg (note the hyphenated last name)?
Angelina Jolie?
Jessica Chastain?
This could go on for pages.
Hillary.
I'm not too sure that's a stellar feminist relationship. I favor a powercouple in my relationships, but I would never desire, or even settle for a relationship like Hillary's.
Nonetheless, this is chat-style stuff. Any further mentions would go there.
I like that the Liberals won the Isle of Wight like they used to do. Pretty nice infoboxZugzwang
