Alright, but how does it actually work here? Are the senators elected at-large in their provinces like in America, through separate senate ridings, using some sort of proportional system, or what?

I was wondering that myself. The Senate leaders as their home seats appear to have their own OTL ridings, in spite of the Senate having half the amount of seats as the Commons does.

Otherwise, I like where you're going with this TL, Tory. Becoming leader of the Senate seems like a good way of getting Alexa into a key role in Ottawa politics without the NDP being wiped out beforehand. Also, Methinks the only point of this TL to get a PM Prentice instead of Harper. :p

One more thing though: why does Layton almost always do so well in Canadian TLs? I ask as someone not from Canada who sees Layton was an outspoken councillor who became leader at the NDP's nadir (being everyone in the NDP's second choice) had a broad appeal at a time when the Liberals were imploding.

To answer your questions, the Senate is, in my TL, basically elected in the same manner as the House of Commons. At least for right now. It always seems as though the Canadian public, at least those who vote in referendums and stuff like that, have a problem with anything other than FPTP. But hey, private message me some suggestions, and I might change it.

Also trust me, if the purpose was to make Prentice PM I would have made him last a bit longer. :p

The US with Canadian-style parties, 1984 edition.

I wanted to have States' Rights in here, so I gave SR the same percent of Reagan's vote that they had in 1980 and then multiplied it by the ratio of that state's Libertarian vote to the national average (I figured that the Libertarians would attract right-wingers disgruntled by Reagan).

I think this is the biggest thrashing this system has ever produced, although it doesn't match Reagan's OTL performance in 1984 when he got 525 EVs. Mondale probably set the record for high popular vote percentage won without winning a single state.

US Presidential Election, 2004
Tommy Thompson was seen by many as being in a vulnerable position by 2004: the economy was slowing down, his welfare reforms weren't popular and Speaker Tom DeLay was embroiled in a toxic corruption scandal. However, the Democrats were weakened by factitious primaries between those party advocating moderate policies like those of Richards, and those who thought that Kennedy-style radicalism would put the Democrats back in the White House. Even after the youthful moderate Bayh was made nominee at a brokered convention the question of the Democrat's direction was never fully resolved. The selection of fellow moderate Bob Graham as Byah's running mate caused outspoken senator Paul Wellstone to launch an left wing independent campaign under the"New Alliance" banner; he tapped Portland Mayor John Eder as a running mate. As a further bad news for the Democrats, the United Party, after reforming its primary system after the disaster of 2000, went with former Democrat Joe Lieberman. The two third-party campaigns, siphoning support from both moderates and liberals, left the Democratic party confused and conflicted in the message it wanted to take.

Tommy Thompson privately felt more threatened by Lieberman than Bayh but in reality the splitting of the anti-Republican vote in three directions meant that there was never much doubt that he'd be re-elected. While Wellstone won DC by embracing the statehood movement, an upset in the electoral college denied Thompson an EC majority. However, the Republican-held Congress and Senate quietly elected Thompson and Mack, meaning the might as well have won one.

A Minor Meighen Majority

Here's 1937:

Dunning entered his first term with the largest Liberal majority government in decades, and a large amount of public goodwill as well. People were tired of the Tories due to their handling of the Depression, and were generally supportive of Dunning's plan to combat the financial crisis. Even better for Dunning, the Conservatives were set for a tough fight with the CCF for the role of the official opposition. It was under these circumstances that the Conservatives were forced to choose a new leader. The race featured Donald Matheson Sutherland, R.B. Bennett, Robert Manion, H.H. Stevens, and M.A. MacPherson. Sutherland ultimately won out due to his relatively young age, at least in comparison to some of the other serious contenders, especially as concerns began to emerge over the health of Bennett, his closest competitor.

By the time Dunning called the 1937 election, people were overall satisfied with his economic pursuits, despite some grumbling that the Depression wasn't ending quickly enough. The CCF began to increase support, as more Canadians began to call for increased government action, while the Conservatives made minor gains. Ultimately, though, Dunning was able to win another majority government. Dunning's celebration, however, would be short lived, as his constant work ethic soon had unintended consequences on his health, which would lead to his resignation in 1939.

Nice, so TB, how do you do to create templates for parties in the infoboxes if they don't exist in the real world, and therefore in Wikipedia?
Click to expand...
Before the first party slot, add

|party_colour = no
|party_name = no

Then you gotta do [[SomeWikiPage|SomeFictionalParty]], and add

|color# = HTML without #

below that. the # in color# represents the party number.
