Yeah. I was going to use Peter Bone but Davies seemed a better fit.Better than my attempt. I like it
And is that Philip Davies (I had to google tbh) as ATL/mirror Corbyn?

Premier Taylerov - For the Good of Fiji, For the Good of Us All
For the Good of Fiji, For the Good of Us All
Introduction
The archipelago of Fiji was subjugated into the British Empire in 1874, with the colonial administrators bringing over Indian contract labourers to develop the fledging sugar industry. The native populace were actively prohibited from integration themselves into the colony, with the first Governor of Fiji (Arthur Charles Hamilton-Gordon) disallowing their use in labour schemes or interference into their way of life. (Nevertheless, British rule substantially altered the demographic make-up of the islands; by the middle of the Second World War 94,000 of the 210,000 population were of Indian descent in comparison to 102,000 native Fijians). In 1904, the Legislative Council of Fiji - the precursor to the modern Fijian Parliament - was reconstituted as a partly-elected body with European male settlers and Fijian chiefs dominating the new political system. Most seats were filled by nomination rather than election, and even as the Council was further liberalized in 1929 and 1953 those of European or (wealthy) Indian origin dominated it. Only in 1963 were indigenous Fijians enfranchised and indigenous representation in the Council was made elective (although two members remained chosen by the Great Council of Chiefs). Women were also enfranchised. The 1960s were a period of great political change, as in 1964 a member system was introduced and while in 1965 a constitutional conference - whilst initially unsuccessful in establishing a timetable for self-governance - formed the basis for further compromise. 1967 saw the appointment of the first Chief Minister - Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara - and in 1970 the two major political factions agreed upon a constitutional formula, enabling Fijian independence in 1970.

The 1972 election, the first in the post-independence era, was comfortably won by the Alliance Party of the former Chief Minister Kamisese Mara, although surprisingly the party captured almost 25% of the Indo-Fijian vote. The opposition National Federation Party (led by Sidiq Koya), which had the Indians as their chief supporter demographic, won the remaining 19 seats. The election highlighted the controversial role of ethnicity in the Fijian political system, as the Alliance won all of the Communal and General Communal seats while the NFP secured all the Indian Communal seats by 73%. Nevertheless, the co-operation between the two parties continued as it had prior to independence. Raojibhai Dahyabhai Patel was nominated as the Speaker of the Alliance-dominated House of Representations, but remained a covert opponent of the partnership between Koya and Mara. However, as the government continued the relationship between the two party leaders began to disintegrate, chiefly over NFP concerns about Fijian nationalism. The Alliance announced they would not fund school fees for non-Fijians, and heated arguments broke out after some in the party advocated the repatriation of Indians to India. Mara also rejected recommendations proposed in the Royal Commission for reform to the voting system. However, both parties entered into the election in March 1977 in a state of weakness due to factional infighting. The rapid rise of the xenophobic Nationalist Party, which had fractured the Alliance, hurt the fortunes of the latter at the polls. Sidiq Koya and the NFP secured the largest number of seats, by one, and consequently the country fell into a state of severe instability. The ethnic Fijians resisted the government and riots broke out. When news reached the Prime Minister that the Governor-General, Katu Sir George Cakobau, was preparing to appoint Mara (his relative) as Prime Minister to resolve the crisis with Nationalist support there was widespread outrage. Many believed that the country was on the brink of civil war. Emergency crisis talks led to the calling of a second election in a bid to bring order to the chaos. The second 1977 election was, in many ways, truly catastrophic. The National Federation and the Alliance Party secured the same number of seats, as the Nationalists furthered increased their share of the vote, which led to Cakobau forcing the formation of a National Unity Government (opposed by both Koya and Mara). The internal crisis in the Federation led to the toppling of Koya and the instigation of Jai Ram Reddy as both party leader and Prime Minister with support from Alliance members. It was clear, however, that despite the partnership between the Alliance and the NFP that the country was in a very serious position. This was alarmingly exposed in 1977, when it was speculated elements of the Fijian Infantry Regiment were proposing action against the government. Once again, the Federation fell into infighting and whilst Reddy was ousted he was succeeded by an ally - Irene Jai Narayan. The Unity Government was on the rocks by 1978, with public disaffection turning against the two major parties. The Nationalists continued to radicalize many of the ethnic Fijians, and in response the government was forced to take increasingly radical measures against them. Narayan desperately tried to retain public order, but the 1980 Suva Riots pointed to the complete collapse of civil obedience and the very real threat of mutiny in the armed forces. After negotiations with the demonstrators came to naught, a general election was called.

1980-1982: Ro Lala Mara (Independent - appointed by military administration)
The 1980 election would see the complete fracturing of the main political parties as the new Democratic Party (led by NFP-breakaway Karam Chang Ramrakha) split the vote almost evenly as the ethnic Fijians struggled to rally around a single candidate. When it seemed likely that Narayan would be returned as Prime Minister during the coalition negotiations, the army took action. The wife of Kamisese Mara, herself an influential tribal chief, was appointed by the military administration to head a non-partisan to resolve the crisis in Fiji peacefully. Nobody was killed during the coup, and it actually calmed the tensions that had been previously running amok across the country. However, Fiji proclaimed itself a republic and rebuked the authority of Elizabeth II. The aim of the military action was to force a constitutional review in a bid to address the perpetual Fijian political crisis. At the heart of this lay the abolition of National constituencies; these ethnically-allocated legislative bodies had exacerbated the divisions between the many Fijian peoples, and it was hoped that come the restoration of democracy the marginalization of whole minorities could be avoided. The role of Prime Minister was nevertheless declared to only be open to native Fijians. Similarly, the Alliance and NFP underwent a period of major change - as the Democratic Party emerged as the dominant opposition to the government, most of the remaining members reformed themselves into the Peoples Party, declaring to represent all of the nation. Lala Mara had no intention of keeping Fiji under military rule indefinitely, so once it was believed order had been restored and a political compromise reached the 'First Republic' came to an end and multi-party democracy was restored.

The victory of the Democratic Party in the 1982 election was an indication that some of the racial and political tensions in Fiji had been cooled by the intervention of the military and the capable government of Lala Mara. The Nationalists crashed in support and lost any hope of regaining parliamentary representation; the Democratic Party and the Peoples Party now attempted to concentrate the Second Republic into a two-party state. Efforts were made to focus upon political differences rather than ethnic ones, but due to the interlocking nature of the two this was only partly successful. Emigration from the Indian community increased nevertheless. Ramrakha presided over a turn in fortunes for the Fijian economy, as it tried to liberalize away from traditional industries and promote international investment. An air wing of the armed forces was inaugurated in 1984 and come the time of the 1986 election there was a period of tentative optimism. The result was another victory for the Democratic Party, although it did lose some seats to the Peoples Party. 1986 saw the further diversification of political support between the ethnic minorities, and whilst the Indians in particularly supported the Democratic Party the ethnic Fijians split their vote roughly evenly. Ramrakha narrowly avoided an assassination plot conducted by extreme nationalists (led by Maciu Navakasuasua) at Nadi International Airport in 1989, and the Democratic Party enacted some controversial and unpopular restrictions of freedom of speech and political meetings, largely contributing to their loss in the 1990 election. The Peoples Party, essentially the descendant of the Alliance, secured their largest parliamentary representation since 1972. The victory of the party in 1990 influenced the mandatory ten-year review of the constitution established upon the end of the First Republic; tensions arose again after a resurgence in ethnic tensions due to the long-standing argument over Indo-Fijian land leases and the growing influence of the trade union movement. Tora tried to lessen the unease by removing the necessity for the Prime Minister to be a ethnic Fijian, isolating some of the natural supporters of the party in the conservative Fijian population but doing much for Parliamentary bipartisanship. To some surprise, the Peoples secured a one-seat larger majority in 1994 as Ramrakha remained the embattled Democratic leader.
The government of Tora had a strong mandate, but behind the scenes various factions began to conspire against the Prime Minister; Josefa Vosanibola, the Minister for Home Affairs, came under increasing fire for the reluctance of the government to repeal some of the more repressive measures enacted in the latter days of the Ramrakha ministry. He also remained annoyed at the increasingly centre-left attitude of the Peoples Party which he perceived to be at odds with the traditional voter base of the Alliance Party. Taking conservative allies within the party, he ousted Tora (who immediately went off to help form the Liberal and Labour Union) and in the 1997 election the party was hammered nastily. It remained the largest parliamentary group, but lost a majority. Vosanibola ironically was removed and as the Democratic and LLU struggled to come to a coalition agreement Samisoni Tikoinasau led a minority government. It was short-lived, as the opposition came together under the Independent figurehead Anirudh Singh. It was easily the most left-wing government in Fijian history and sent ripples of unease around the military and the conservatives. Against the odds, however, Singh was able to keep his government together and with significant social reforms emerged as a popular figurehead for the coalition. During the Singh government, Fiji emerged as one of the success stories in the Pacific. Significant infrastructure and domestic progress was accompanied with substantial foreign investment, and the political forces of the organized centre-left grew significantly. The LLU separated on good terms in 2000, forming the Liberal Party and Labour Association respectively, but in the 2002 and 2007 elections the coalition fought as a united ticket under Singh, retaining the alliance with the Democratic Party. In 2007, the Peoples Party fought back harder, but was unable to unseat the young and charismatic leader. Indeed, the Singh government cemented the complete survival of the new multi-party democracy, with the 2012 election fair provided the third consecutive victory for the centre-left alliance. Fiji had seemed to shrug off the ethnic struggles of the past, and consolidated support around optimism for the future.

Against the odds, however, Singh was able to keep his government together and with significant social reforms emerged as a popular figurehead for the coalition. During the Singh government, Fiji emerged as one of the success stories in the Pacific. Significant infrastructure and domestic progress was accompanied with substantial foreign investment, and the political forces of the organized centre-left grew significantly. The LLU separated on good terms in 2000, forming the Liberal Party and Labour Association respectively, but in the 2002 and 2007 elections the coalition fought as a united ticket under Singh, retaining the alliance with the Democratic Party. In 2007, the Peoples Party fought back harder, but was unable to unseat the young and charismatic leader. Indeed, the Singh government cemented the complete survival of the new multi-party democracy, with the 2012 election fair provided the third consecutive victory for the centre-left alliance. Fiji had seemed to shrug off the ethnic struggles of the past, and consolidated support around optimism for the future.

I've read a timeline on the Alternate History Wikia that started out with Libertarian President Elvis Presley in 1984 and just slowly converged into OTL.

Sort of a WIP for now but I'll have a set of footnotes to go along with this later.
The general gist is that Spiro Agnew's scandals break earlier before the 1972 election and Nixon dumps him in favor of George Bush in 1972, and the ramifications that result from this decision.

[1] - 9/11 brought America together in fear, while the weighty wars in Iraq and Afghanistan did their best to both strengthen and weaken that newfound resolve. President Bush largely succeeded in keeping up support throughout this period (with stable approvals as 2003 meandered on), but failed to do so with the international community. In early 2004, a nerve gas attack on a congressional staff meeting which featured the president shook the country whole and tore the climate asunder. The Vice President was unharmed and arose to the most important office in the land. Within a month of taking office, an environmental catastrophe would hit as superstorms occurred across the planet. Cheney used the negative opportunity (as well as an unfilled congress) to pass an expansion of the PATRIOT Act and a bomb raid upon the rogue Iran state. After winning election to a full term, Cheney's next act wouuld be to authorise interventions in Iran (which was falling under ever harsher scrutiny after border squabbles and port blockades) and Libya as the Middle East and Africa fell into further instability as a consequence of the environmental destruction. The wars inspired much nerve wracking and added ever more to the federal deficit. Riots broke out in the streets and were forcibly put down by National Guard forces. Cheney disappeared into the shadows in 2006, choosing to remain behind the scenes before his heart finally gave out as his successor picked up the pieces.
[2] - Bolton, having been dealt a poor hand ever since his controversial nomination to the position of VP in 2004, would continue full throttle with the invasion of Iran, implementing a temporary visa ban on Iranian students in the vein of Jimmy Carter after a terrorist attack on the US-Mexican border. Bolton stood in conflict with the rising Russian Federation, which largely survived the onslaught of harsh weather in 2004, the effects which were felt in Bangladesh and elsewhere. An economic crash took place on New Years Eve 2006, resulting in the most severe crunch since the 1920's as debt spiralled. 'Liberal' states that voted for Howard Dean in 2004 simply refused to fund the Iran War or Bolton's visa ban, which saw a harsh reaction from the federal government. In an effort to regain popularity, Bolton signed a repeal of DADT as well as the implementation of LGBT work protections. it was to no avail, as his administration found itself embroiled in scandal after scandal. A second catastrophe hit in 2009 as a destructive beast ravaged New York City before being bombed into the sea. The distance between the government and the Dean States grew ever larger as there were stark divides in the handling of the continuing refugee crisis. Bolton died in 2010 after a letterbomb was deposited in the press room.
[3] - Bloomberg ran on a centrist platform which failed to catch on. A wonder that he still scored 6%.
[4] - President Pence would be truly transformative in his capability in the Oval Office. The Social Accountability and Freedom from Extremism Act turned the country into ever more of a police state, and made deregulation the word of the week in response to the economic depression's after effects. In early 2011 Pence, radicalised after years of Cheney and Bolton in addition to the acts of god that were littered throughout the decade, issued an executive order banning Muslims from entering the US and shutting down the vast majority of mosques. TThis was the final straw, and the Dean States refused to allow any of Pence's orders to be enforced. Pence sent troops into California where they engaged in skirmishes with local guards. In reaction to the 'Massacre at Bakersfield', 15 states (including Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware) declared their secession, forming the Free Federated States of America. They would soon petition for annexation from Canada, and join as provinces. Pence screamed bloody murder but was unable to commission much action as the economy was in even more of a shambles as the debt ceiling collapsed. He would be shot by a Chinese communist double agent. Pence would survive, but the effect on his brain would be magnificent. He was suddenly rash and impatient, radicalised to an extent thought impossible. He used the depopulated congress to make a 'Christian proclamation', ending the Republic and establishing a new 'Christian State' inspired by the examples from millennia prior. Immediately, a 'Pact of the Crucifix' was formed with Russia, which was in the process of occupying the weakened Eastern Europe, and the new remilitarised Japan, which suffered a coup after a weak response to a destructive earthquake.
[5] - The Christian States had become most turbulent in their first few years, with a litany of ordinances against sodomy, public indecency, abortion, and pornographic materials. Fears that America was turning into a World Police were confirmed as Pence thought of himself as a modern day crusader, sending money to the Christian Soldiers of Uganda and tactically nuking rebel strongholds in Mosul and Benghazi. Pence formed an alliance with Assad's Syria, seeing it as a decent counterweight against the Turkish Caliphate, which was by now finding its way through the Russian dominated Balkans. 2012 was an infamous year as another environmental disaster hit, this time by way of neutrinos mutating and heating up the planet, rupturing plate tectonics and causing a massive refugee crisis. Oil became the CS' main export as Pence was forced to dramatically cut spending in order to fund expansion of industrial output. Outbreaks of bird flu and swine flu largely avoided the CS but still claimed the lives of thousands in the 'Texas Quarantine'. The Korean War of 2017 passed the CS by as the South fought to another bitter draw as their allies brawled in the background. Many tactical nukes were used, turning Pyongyang and Seoul into proverbial wastelands. The sudden sinking of Southern Florida in 2019 was yet another humanitarian disaster for Pence to deal with as calls for his removal grew. Even with this, the entire country revolved around him in some manner - it was a personality cult, in essence. This made the dirty bombings of Las Vegas, Houston, and Richmond by agents of the Turkish Caliphate all the worse, as Pence was caught up the latter.
[6] - The Democrats, in a fit of self-pity, brutally crushed the insurgent campaign of John Cougar Mellencamp and instead nominated noted concessionist Mark Warner, who had to evade agents of the National Union throughout the campaign. There would be no such chance in 2016 as instability caused the results of that election (which saw the Democratic nominee James Stavridis win the popular vote) to be ignored.
[7] - Pence's bombastic VP took the reins with gusto. Constantly threatening war with the United States of Canada (the country underwent a rebrand after the government of Elliot Spitzer won a referendum on the abolition of the monarchy), Patrick instead chose to deepen the shutdown on immigration and built more border camps. Patrick also packed the Senate with his own cronies so as to push for harsher voting restrictions and an embargo on the United Pan-Arabic Caliphate, which controlled most of the Middle-East bar Syria, the hardline Israeli state, and Oman. Patrick strengthened the alliance with the collapsing Japanese state, which was outpaced by the Chinese Communist Empire by a hundredfold. Patrick, who carefully welcomed the enroachment of the Eurasian Union into Western Europe with the adminssion of the Danes and the Dutch in 2021 (they saw it as the only defence against the Turkish Caliphate's forces). The coasts of Texas had receded back many miles, and islands were forming close to the new border with the sea. Patrick endorsed the construction of huge battleships, especially as the Chavezian Latin American Commune expanded into Cuba with China's assistance. To Patrick's credit, he willingly surrendered power to the rebranded Democratic party after inadvertently causing their victory by splitting the vote with the Penceist establishment during the election.
[8] - Cooper took advantage of extra-judicial powers to roll back restrictions on social norms,a s well as to cancel many of the costly programs ordered under Pence and Patrick. What a shame for him, as China crossed into Mexico to wage war upon the CS. News is also spreading of the Chavez dynasty's attempted genetic engineering in the Amazon Sea.
[9] - Steve Stockman, the self declared prophet of the West, ran several times over on a platform even more hardline than Pence's. He failed, but in 2024 he came extremely close duo to the split in the NAU.

The victory of party stalwart Earl Browder at 1960's American People's Coalition Party Conference came as a disappointment to Undercommissioner for Development and Communities Stan McGovern and his collection of supporters, who promoted McGovern's own brand of agrarian socialist thinking - known as 'McGovernism' in years after his purging in 1971 (he became an unknown hero, in spite of his more radical actions during the Browder years). Browder's regime would be one of faux progress, as economic stimulus promised to the Black Quarters never materialised - indeed, the goons of Defense Commissioner George Meany often crossed into the Black Quarter to 'inflict law and order' upon the communities. The Federal Motorworks and America By Rail were stagnating in production and had become usurped by the advances in air travel - 'Jet Set Communism' was a particular refrain both in and outside the continent. Browder quickly shut down negotiations with the Quebecois Republic, now the last bastion of capitalism in the North, after the country attempted to encourage cross-border trade and the establishment of bilingual customs agencies. The Vietnam War also dominated the zeitgeist of the late 60's as the People's Republic entered a state of disagreement with the nigh on fascist Vietnamese State. Their own Communist regime tumbled from internal corruption as the VS emerged victorious with help from the powerful Japanese (and some say, the Russians). Browder brutally suppressed protests against the detaining of political activist Andrew Warhola, who was brought in for questioning after defaming a statue of famed diplomat Harry Dexter White. Warhola would sit in a People's Penitentiary until the 1980's, famed as a political prisoner.
Browder passed on 1973, giving way to the kindly old Will Lee, who ushered in a brief and constricted period of reform. He intended to secure another term in 1975, but was strong-armed out of it by the non-pragmatic party faithful. Instead the tyrannical Frank Rizzo swung his way into the Executive Council, clunking his way through five miserable years of governance as he took the Browder era policies up to their max potential, locking up political activists in bulk and sending many ex-council figures to pluck Corn in the fields of Nebraska, guarded by barb wire. Rizzo would also compete with the Russian Republic on the world stage, challenging President Masherov's dominance of the Europeans. Rizzo dramatically increased the security budget, establishing a People's Commissioner for Safety, as well as aiming to put cameras in every street-corner in America. He would not succeed in doing so, but he was able to achieve construction of archipelagos in and around the Canadian Territories. Rizzo was forcibly retired, but not before executing Black Quarter leader Malcolm Little in a sham trial. Walt Reuther brought in another era of reform, finally democratising internal union elections and breaking up the 'monopoly' of the declining America by Rail. Reuther also set a number of political prisoners free. For reasons unknown, Reuther's plane en route to Montreal was downed by
Puzo, an acolyte of former Premier Vito Marcantonio, survived many assassination attempts from the state sanctioned mob on his way to the top. He would institute a great number of reforms, finally liberalising the creaking American Bureau of Intelligence by initiating a five year long audit of files and records, cracking down on corruption in the Council, lightening restrictions on the Black Quarter (and mooting a reconciliation), devolving powers to the Canadian Territories, opening trade routes with the Hawaii Government (but still not recognising it), and in 1990, calling a Constitutional Convention on re-organisation of the state. The Convention resulted in the cancellation of 1990's conference, resulting in an outcry from hardliners willing to muscle their way back in. Puzo stepped down in 1992 after winning a referendum on the Convention's ratification - seeing the blurring of state-by-state lines into regional territories, the abolition of the Black Quarter and reintegration into the rest of the state, the shutting down of Alaskan/Canadian archipelagos, the modernisation of the Iron and Steel monopolies, and other provisions. Puzo's replacement, People's Media Mogul Ted Turner would introduce free market reforms and bring Ryabushinsky Mills into the PRA for the first time. In 1995, he would stand for the Presidency under the new plebiscite system. In an amazing show of force, the radical Patricia Hearst pipped him to the post in the runoff. Sexist critics deemed her 'Little Pattie', but her reign would be feared by many.
