Levi Ayer Gardner
levi ayer gardner.png
Levi Ayer Gardner (born Leslie Lynch King Jr.) was an American politician who is regarded as one of the most influential American politicians of the late 20th century. Born Leslie Lynch King Jr. to Dorothy Ayer Gardner and Leslie Lynch King Sr., his mother divorced his father a matter of weeks after his birth due to his father's alcoholism and violent, abusive behavior. While he wouldn't legally change his name until 1935, the young Gardner would go by Levi in honor of his maternal grandfather since early childhood.

After considering going into rugby while a student at the University of Illinois, Gardner would go on to attend Yale Law School and later enter politics, being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on the Farmer-Labor ticket in 1946. He would go on to hold many high-ranking positions within the congressional FLP during his time in the House, including two brief stints as Speaker. In 1968 he successfully ran for Governor of Illinois, and was reelected in 1972. He would be elected to the Senate in 1974.

Characterized as a moderate social democrat, Gardner would help balance the more moderate FLP congresspeople with the more populist wing led by President Jacobetti and the hardliners led by Ronald Reagan. During Jacobetti's 1979 impeachment, he would stick with the party line and vote against removing Jacobetti despite overwhelming evidence of corruption, tarnishing his image and reputation. He would attempt a primary challenge against Jacobetti when the latter tried to run for a third term in 1980 to no avail, and would lose his Senate seat in the subsequent election.

Following his defeat, Gardner would completely denounce Jacobetti. He would experience a minor political comeback in 1986, being elected as Governor of Illinois once again, but would step down after only one more term. After stepping down Gardner would retire to his home in Oak Park with his wife Josephine, where he would live until his death in 2006.
 
Ernie Lynch

Ernest Gregory "Ernie" Lynch Jr. was a Patagonian politician who served as leader of the Communist Party of Patagonia in the 1960s, leader of the Socialist Labour Party in the 70s and 80s, and briefly Minister of Health under Prime Minister Fiona Price in the late 90s.

Born in 1928 to Celia de la Serna and Ernest Lynch Sr. (born Ernesto Guevara), both Argentine immigrants who fled to Patagonia during the Argentine Civil War, Lynch became a communist while studying at the Joseph Chamberlain University Medical School and was later elected leader of the Communist Party of Patagonia, leading it to gain its first seats in Parliament. During his time as CPP leader he became known for his flamboyant, unvarnished style during parliamentary debates, holding the record for most times named out of all Patagonian MPs in history at 217. However, in the early 1970s both his style and views began to moderate, prompting him to leave the CPP in late 1972 and found the Socialist Labour Party early the next year. The new party had a more democratic socialist position compared to the communist position of the CPP. In the subsequent 1976 election the CPP, now under the leadership of Arthur Haessly, got completely wiped out, with most of its support going to the SLP, who won 6 seats.

However the SLP would not last much longer, losing all its seats in the 1981 election. Lynch would attempt to keep the party alive until 1988, when he would fold it into the Labour Party. He would be elected back to Parliament in October 1996 as a member of the Labour Party, and would briefly serve as Minister of Health under Prime Minister Fiona Price. He would resign from the cabinet in mid-1997 due to his disagreements with Price's third way politics, however he remained part of the Labour Party. He would retire from Parliament in the 2001 election.

However, Lynch remained vocal about politics, consistently advocating for left-wing policies and against Labour's centreward shift. In 2018, when Alexander Stewart founded the Progressive Party, Lynch would join it and leave Labour.

Lynch died in his sleep from old age at his home in Victoria in early 2020.

2017 Nez Perce gubernatorial election
"It was like a god damned thunderclap" ~ outgoing governor Dan Newhouse

The 2017 Nez Perce gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2017 to elect the Governor of Nez Perce. Incumbent governor Dan Newhouse failed to make the runoff against all expectations, with independent candidate and self-proclaimed neo-integralist Richard B. Spencer making the runoff. The result of the jungle primary shocked the nation, and it was followed closely by most major media outlets. All other candidates endorsed FLP candidate Tobias Read for the runoff in an effort to keep Spencer out of office, and Read would win the runoff in the largest US gubernatorial landslide since the 19th century. Notably, Spencer lost votes between the jungle primary and the runoff, with many observers suspecting some voters regretted their initial vote. Additionally, this was the first Nez Perce gubernatorial election since the adoption of the jungle primary system to have turnout be lower in the runoff than in the jungle primary.

Note: the reason for the US flag being the infobox flag is because ITTL the State of Nez Perce has no official flag

No official flag? So, is there any unofficial state flag floating around in Nez Perce?

It’s always a good time to use this gif.

Definitely, and Governor Read said he would be open to holding a referendum on designating an official flag. It's likely the referendum on whether to make an official flag or not will be just a formality, as opinion polls show an average of 90% of Nez Perce residents favor adopting one, with some polls showing 100% of respondents in favor. The actual debate will be on which flag to pick

Thank god Spencer lost but 18% of the vote is still quite alarming.

In light of recent, uh, changes, to the OTL Wikipedia US presidents list, I have elected to convert TTL's US presidents list into the format that the OTL one was in before said changes

I also did a few minor retcons, but they don't change much overall

I'm very happy to see an independent Hejaz, and to finally know what exactly Pacifica looks like, but now I want to know what the hell is going on in central and west Africa.

Also, which Kenya is the cursed one? I'm sorry, I forgot. Also, what's up with Slovenia?
