America as Parliamentary Democracy, 2002-Present (Rebooted)

It's a really great TL. is this based on the PI scenario at all?

Thanks for the feedback!

And yes, that was actually my scenario, though a couple other folks are now working on PMI scenarios based on this TL too. (If you've played the 2008 version you probably know a little about what's coming, so I'd ask that any spoiler discussion be kept to the 270soft boards for now.)

Did you ever make a 2004 scenario? I remember playing just the 2008 version. It's a great scenario by the way so well done.
 
I suggest a uniquely American system for the Conservative Party leadership races.

Step 1 - In order to be placed in nomination for the position of Leader, an MP or Senator has to be nominated by 10% of the parliamentary party (MPs and Senators).

Step 2 - All nominated candidates compete at a national convention with delegates using a Ranked Choice Voting system till only two candidates remain.

Step 3 - All paid party members vote on the final two candidates in a postal ballot.

This combines the methods of the UK Labour (nomination process), Canadian Conservative (Convention), and UK Conservative (final members vote) parties.

Comments?

Would you object to me making a 2016 one?

Sure, go ahead, though the "canon" may diverge from whatever you come up with when I get back to this.

I haven't worked out the details of Conservative leadership contests yet, though there will be at least one at some point in this TL. I was actually leaning towards an MPs-only contest, at least for the first one, in keeping with the hold UK system, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
