Any TLs about...

Do there exist, somewhere on these boards or in the published AH, timelines which concern themselves with the development of political parties?
 
British, Canadian, and American mostly if you're talking modern post-war politics.

EdT's Fight and be Right goes in-depth on British politics of the late 19th century as well.

What, exactly, are you looking for?
 
If you're talking about eras, turn-of-the-century to about the mid-nineteen-twenties. If you're talking about content, what I want is something like "this is why these particular groups coalesced the way they did, what their aims were, how they interacted with other parties, and how all this in turn caused the civil society in which they were situated to develop".

I'm trying to write one, and I'd like some idea of the writing style that the subject matter generates. Everything I write sounds forced and awful :D

Then I'd recommend EdT's Fight to be Right as it covers British politics quite well in late 19th century Great Britain.


For content there are a number: several American ones dealing with how Republicans and Democrats could have wound up differently throughout the 1960s and 1970s (as that period was in such flux), and my own speculation on an alternate Canada where the Tories stay Red Tories, the Liberals go free market (think Roger Douglas's New Zealand), and the NDP become a major force in federal politics.

Searching for this isn't always easy, but using Google is often a better alternative to the board's search system: just type in site:https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion and then your search terms.
