List Political Parties of Alternate Countries

[Middlesex_Toffeeman]

Made using the BPPCS (the best colour scheme for British politics!).

Benn + 'Er Maj wading in = fun.
On the bad side, you have Enoch Powell ruling as a racist dictator who makes overtures to Rhodesia and South Africa. Even worse, the House of Commons, a unicameral legislature, is held in a hemicircular chamber.
On the good side, er... Parliament has 600 seats instead of 650.

His Majesty, King William V's, Government (National Liberal Party minority government with confidence and supply from the Conservative and Ulster Unionist Party):
National Liberal Party:
Founded following the fall of the Tyndall government, the National Liberals, first led by Michael Portillo (Kensington South and Chelsea), are a pro-business, libertarian party. Following the election of Jacob Rees-Mogg (Keynsham and Somerset East) as leader in September 2008, after Iain Duncan Smith (Chingford) resigned over a scandal involving a degree he falsely claimed to have, the party, after a tense vote at the conference, voted to support a pro-life stance on abortion. This led to the founding of the Traditional Whig Party, led by Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire). Following the 2011 recession and the snap election, the party secured 293 seats, a gain of 124, mainly felt in the British Democratic Party's Northern heartlands.

Conservative and Ulster Unionist Party:
A husk of their former strength, the Tories only took 13 seats, enough to enable the party, led by Philip Hammond (Addlestone and Weybridge) to negotiate a deal. In exchange for their support on crucial votes, the National Liberal Party must hold a referendum on joining the Federated States of Europe by November 22nd 2016 (the date by which Parliament must be dissolved). With the date set for June 23rd 2016, polls are suggesting a 'no' victory, with the latest poll, undertaken by the Daily Mail, official newspaper of the British Democratic Party, suggesting a 61% vote for 'no'.

His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition:
The Workers' Solidarity Party:
Originating in the Militant Tendency-controlled Labour Party of the 1970s, the party was involved in the resistance movement against the Powell regime, and often claims to have started the Countryside War and given the British people freedom. The party has had a long conflict with Britain's Jews, dating back to the days of the Countryside War, when, on the 23rd of October, 1982, WSP guerrillas, led by Jeremy Corbyn, a prominent figure in London's underground Communist movement, shot Shlomo Argov, Israeli ambassador to Britain, in protest at the Israeli government's co-operation with Ian Smith's Rhodesian government on nuclear weapons. The conflict has only been exacerbated when Piers Corbyn, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and brother of the late Jeremy Corbyn, suggested that the 'greedy Mossad' were intervening in British elections to ensure a National Liberal victory. Mr Corbyn, whose party now holds 201 seats, a gain of 107 from the last election, has not retracted his remarks.
The party is led by John McDonnell (West Southall).

Other parties:
The British Democratic Party:
Led by Nigel Farage (Sittingbourne and Sheppey), the party has slightly mellowed since the Powell years, where it was the sole legal party. However, despite a ban on outright racism within the party, the party's Finance Spokesman, Gerald Batten (Clacton and Jaywick), was forced to resign and has been expelled from the party over remarks he made in support of Powell's deportations of second- and third-generation immigrants, and a party member, Richard Corbett, was hanged in 2012 for the fatal shooting of Tony Blair (Darlington and Sedgefield South), leader of the Pro-European Centre League. Following the 2011 recession and the general election that followed it, the party lost 231 seats, mainly to the Workers' Solidarity and National Liberal parties. The party now holds 72 seats in Parliament; a far cry from the first free elections where the party took 550 seats, and the first time since 1979 that a BDP leader has not been Prime Minister or (during the Powell years) First Citizen of the British State.

The Pro-European Centre Party:
Founded in 1996 as Brits for Europe until its merger with the Centre Party, both of which had links to the campaigns of civil disobedience initiated by a large proportion of middle-class London, the Pro-European Centre Party, led by Gina Miller (Hackney), have grown from one seat to 12, and nearly managed to wrest Michael Portillo's Kensington South and Chelsea seat from him, coming within 800 votes of a victory.

Environmental Party:
Led by Caroline Russell (Islington and De Beauvoir), the Environmental Party holds two seats. It is not a major party, but has won several county council by-elections and looks set to take Middlesex in 2016.

Traditional Whig Party:
Founded as a splinter group from the National Liberal Party over abortion, the party's sole MP, Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire) won re-election in 2011. The party's policies include an end to capital punishment and the legalisation of cannabis.

Popular Front For Britain:
Founded by Gerald Batten (Clacton and Jaywick) following his expulsion from the British Democratic Party, the party outwardly supports Powellism. This has led to quite a few court cases against them; however, as all speech is protected under the Second Magna Carta, they have never been banned. Rather alarmingly, the party holds two seats in Parliament.

Scottish National Party:
The SNP, led by Alex Salmond (Western Isles), were instrumental in the resistance against Powellism in the Highlands. As such, the Powell regime committed several atrocities against Scotland, including the Inverness massacre and the stamping out of Scottish culture and language. Scottish culture has been slowly revived, with a majority of Scottish people in the 2011 census citing Scots as their home language for the first time since 1971, and the SNP picking up their first four seats since the return of democracy at the 2011 election, completely eradicating the British Democratic Party from Scotland. However, Welsh and Northern Irish nationalist parties have never recovered from the period of one-party rule.

An abridged list:
The Government:
National Liberal Party: 293
Conservative and Ulster Unionist Party: 13

The Opposition:
Workers' Solidarity Party: 201
British Democratic Party (including Speaker): 72
Pro-European Centre Party: 12

Political parties in the United States National Assembly, on the eve of the 2020 elections. Under the 1935 constitutional convention The United States has adopted a unicameral legislature lead by a popularly elected President whose cabinet is selected by the parties forming the government. The President is traditionally a general or civil servant who is "above party politics." They are expected to mediate the different government ministers and parties in the national interest.

Opposition Labour Party: Formed by the hardline elements of the labor party who refused to join The Unitary Government during The Great Depression, The OLP has only recently seen an end to official repression by The Office of Constitutional Preservation. United by years spent in the political wilderness, The Oppositionists are ready to make a comeback as the official state parties face crisis of legitimacy due as The North Atlantic Treaty Organization collapses and the old certainties of the Cold War fall away. The Parties program calls for the establishment of a universal state run preK-high education system free of charge, allowing the employees of a company to take trusteeship over its assets in the case of bankruptcy.

Unitary Labor Party: The ULP is composed of the sections of the old Combined Labor Party that participated in The Depression era Unitary Government. Since then it has become known as one of the official state parties, participating in many governments both as the senior and junior partner. It claims to be the architect of the current system of industrial relations, which have been credited with making America the NATO countries with the highest wages and the lowest number of strikes. They have become famous for promoting extravagant public works programs which have had mixed success, the national highway system constructed by the 1975 ULP majority government has become a global model for public roadways; however other projects such as the Hoover Dam have become a laughing stock of corruption and missed deadlines.

Conservative Party: The conservatives can trace a direct line of ancestry to The Founding Fathers organization known as The Sons of Liberty, however it has existed in its current form since the 1920s. It has styled itself the defender of traditional American values of independence, personal liberty and capitalism. Unlike other conservative parties, it has shown a strong political instinct. The Unitary Government is widely credited as having saved American capitalism during the depression. However, as the cold war winds down and socialism marches victorious from Ireland to Taiwan their are serious questions as to the point of a conservative party.

Republican People's Party: The RPP was formed after the defeat of The Willmington Coup, as part of the second wave of Radical Reconstruction. The Party is one of the last radical liberal parties still active in the world, seen by many as the sick man of American politics. Its function has been increasingly eroded, first by the constitutional reforms of the 1930s and more recently by the reemergence of the OLP. Their is much talk of that the OLP might try to form a coalition government with the RPP, in order to give their rule the legitimacy of one of the old states parties. However, all agree this would by the final death of Republicanism in American politics.

The Proportional Kingdom of England:

Social Democratic Party: Led currently by Emily Thornberry of the party's "Socialist Left" faction, it has been the dominant party of the left for a century, although it has failed to attain a third of the nationwide vote since the early 1980s. Other key players in the party include Yvette Cooper, Hilary Benn and Andy Burnham. It is responsible, along with smaller left-wing parties, for much of the Kingdom's strong welfare state and for its leading role in the European Union.

National Unity Party: The 'natural party of government', the party has been led by Dominic Grieve since 2011 with Anna Soubry as his deputy. It is broadly liberal on social issues, sees itself as fiscally responsible, strongly pro-European and accepting of the social market economy (although, unlike the SDP, it aligns itself more with the enterprise side of it). The party currently leads the government.

Kingdom First Party: Has been the main electoral third force for more than a decade, and it is currently in government. Under its leader, Kate Hoey, it has moderated into an economically centrist party with a more tolerant position on social issues, while maintaining a populistic and nationalistic tone. It still has a strong hard right faction, led by Andrew Rosindell. It has strong support in coastal towns across the country, with some strength in working-class and lower-middle class parts of the North and the Midlands.

Rural Interests Party: Strong amongst farmers, the RIP (as it is amusingly referred to by its detractors) is led by Norman Lamb. It has electorally owned much of the South West for decades, with strength in other areas too. It has been in government with parties of both left and right, currently so with parties from the latter.

Liberal Ecology Party: As an economically 'compassionate but sensible' and staunchly liberal and environmentalist party, its support base is found amongst students and much of the urban middle-classes. Its current leader, Chuka Umunna, is seen as being the most media-friendly of the current crop of party leaders.

Workers' Party: Aligned with certain parts of the trade union movement and enjoying strong support in some SDP areas, the party is led by John McDonnell. It supports re-nationalization of public utilities, greater trade union rights and a referendum on European Union membership.

Conservative Reformist Party: The smallest of the parties currently represented in the Assembly, it is by far the most Eurosceptic and economically right-wing of them. Under John Redwood, it has attained around 5% of the electorate, thought to be those disillusioned with the NUP. It makes a point of refusing to enter any coalitions, and it particularly dislikes the current leadership of the National Unity Party.

2016 General Election:

National Unity - 32%/176 seats
SDP - 22%/121 seats
Kingdom First - 14%/77 seats
Liberal Ecology - 11%/61 seats
Workers' - 8%/44 seats
Rural Interests - 6%/33 seats
Conservative Reformist - 5%/28 seats

Coalition - National Unity/Kingdom First/Rural Interests

Reds! 21st Century Edition (The Political Parties):

United States 7th Party System (c. 2040):

Democratic Party:
Current Leaders: Joe Kennedy III (President), Chelsea Clinton (House Leader), Maura Roosevelt (Senate Leader)
Current Seats in House: 130
Current Seats in Senate: 30
Current Governors: 19
Political Position: Center to Center-Right
Ideologies: Liberalism, Liberal Conservatism, Social Progressivism

The party of radical centrism that's neither radical nor centrist according to the parties to its left. The party's left wing had split off to form the Populist Democrats in 2025 and as such the centrist establishment was free to remake the party in their image as a pro-corporate, fiscally conservative party that's progressive on some social issues. After the disaster that was the Ben Shapiro Administration, Joe Kennedy III managed to reclaim the White House for the Democrats but the lack of majorities or even pluralities in either chamber of congress has left it in a very precarious position and the target of constant attacks from both the far-left and far-right.

Populist Democratic Party:
Current Leaders: Shahid Buttar (House Leader), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Senate Leader)
Current Seats in the House: 94
Current Seats in the Senate: 24
Current Governors: 7
Political Position: Center-Left to Left-Wing
Ideologies: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Left-Wing Populism

The former left-wing of the Democratic party, a series of bad moves on the Democratic leadership's part in the early 2020s saw a mass exodus of left-wing lawmakers from the party, spearheaded by Congressman Ro Khanna. Now on their own, their policy proposals are Social Democracy on steroids, proposing massive tax increases on the 1% and the largest corporations as well as a national minimum wage increase to a living wage that's fixed to the national inflation rate to ensure it remains a living wage. And that's just for starters. It is also very environmentalist and isolationist party, advocating for the closure of all overseas military bases, a big scale back of CIA operations and activities and a massive reduction in military spending.

Socialist Green Party:
Current Leaders: Gretchen Falconer (House Leader), Brace Belden (Senate Leader)
Current Seats in the House: 91
Current Seats in the Senate: 22
Current Governors: 8
Political Position: Far-Left
Ideologies: Social Ecology, Democratic Confederalism, Libertarian Socialism, Multi-Tendency

The Revolutionary Socialist party of the United States, it is a collection of various left-wing and far-left political groups united under a principle where after the revolution everyone can opt into a different socialist tendency to see which one works best. This arrangement has served to marginalize the more authoritarian tendencies of the far-left (Trotskyists and other tankie-types for example) in favor of libertarian socialists who advocate for the complete abolition of the federal government and devolution of state governments to give local governments stronger autonomy and self-determination. And that is in addition to its goal of abolishing capitalism in favor of various strains of socialist modes of production ranging from state ownership to co-operatives, to syndicalism as well as making the US economy 100% green and eco-friendly.

America First Party:
Current Leaders: Charlie Kirk (House Leader), Hunter Avallone (Senate Leader)
Current Seats in the House: 78
Current Seats in the Senate: 14
Current Governors: 5
Political Position: Far-Right
Ideologies: American Nationalism, Ethnic Nationalism, Neo-Fascism

Who says the Nazis were gone forever? The so-called "sh!tlord fascists" have their own political party due to how "nauseatingly Christian" the Republicans are according to them. They made big gains at the Republicans and Democrats' expense in 2038 and are now gunning for the White House. Their policies are the bog standard Far-Right platter of ethnic nationalism, minority scapegoating and open calls for ethnic cleansing with an American "Manifest Destiny" twist that calls for a war with Mexico and Canada much to the world's shock and horror.

Republican Party:
Current Leaders: Wil Romney (House Leader), James Allsup (Senate Leader)
Current Seats in the House: 42
Current Seats in the Senate: 10
Current Governors: 11
Political Position: Right-Wing to Far-Right
Ideologies: National Conservatism, Christian Nationalism, Fiscal Conservatism

Recovering from the one-two punch that were the 2036 and 2038 elections, over the course of which the party went form the biggest in both houses to the smallest. It has now solidly positioned on the cusp of the Far-Right despite attempts by more moderate forces within to shift it back to the Center-Right as evidenced by the moderate Daniel Suzbach winning the Republican nomination in 2036. It is very nationalistic and openly Christian fundamentalist, the only reason why it hasn't formed a coalition with America First is due to their more secular brand of fascism rubbing them the wrong way. Policy wise they combine Reaganist fiscal policy with southern dixiecrat social policy with regards to race relations, secularism and social issues.

 

[SpookyBoy]

Ben Shapiro Administration

jesus fucking christ

(also I don't think the left-wing of the Democrats would apply the term "populist" to themselves)

 

[skaven]

Current Leaders: Gretchen Falconer (House Leader), Brace Belden (Senate Leader)

Pisspigism Clears The Way!

 

[Snowstalker]

Challenge: National-level (rather than regional/ethnic) parties of a federalized/democratized Austrian Empire. I assume the party of government would be a Christian democratic party that would appeal to Catholics and rural voters, with the second-largest party being a socialist/social-democratic party that would perform strongest in Bohemia.

 

[Psmith]

United Kingdom

POD: Britain intervenes in the Winter War, and butterflies spread from here. By 1975, the UK is leading a beleaguered Commonwealth alongside France against 3 different power blocs led by Germany, Italy and Japan simultaneously. The world economy collapses after China falls to the Soviet Union that year and the political tumult in Britain means that a coalition of autocratic populist nutters kick out Labour and the Conservatives simultaneously to establish an authoritarian one-party state that lives somewhere between OTL Singapore and Putinist Russia, which after several constitutional reforms (and owing to its retention of quite a few more overseas territories) is simply called the "United Kingdom".

Head of State
George VII, King of the United Kingdom
Catchy title. Literally has no power, with the collection of legislation now known as the '1983 constitution' abolishing the Royal Prerogative, Privy Council, Crown Estates etc. When the Unity-Front win their next landslide, all their leader has to do is stroll up and announce that he (or she) is forming a government. No kissing hands whatsoever. He still has his face on stamps and coins though.

Cabinet of the United Kingdom
The 1983 constitution helpfully condensed the cabinet into a ‘Quadripartite System’ of the PM and his closest mates, with some meaningless catch-all titles to make them sound like they have a reason to be there.
Prime Minister: Gordon Brown, Unity-Front (stuck around since 1997, strong and stable)
Domestic Minister: Anthony Lynton, Unity-Front (yeah, that Anthony Lynton)
Foreign Minister: Iain Duncan-Smith Unity-Front (bad choice, probably going to ‘resign’ soon)
Defence Minister: John Barrowman, Unity-Front (now that’s a story and a half)

Parliament of the United Kingdom
One house, and pretty much one party. For some reason has 800 seats, possibly to make the U-F landslides look even bigger than they already are. Elected via the "Bennite-Taylor system", whatever that's supposed to be. Elections every 5 years.

The Government
Unity-Front: 704 seats
Yeah, when I said it was a one-party state I wasn't joking. They apparently got 84% of the vote last time, and to be fair are genuinely popular in spite of them standing for very little of substance save a "Strong and fair society for all Britons". The U-F started as a splinter from the Conservatives after they got wiped out in 1947 when they'd finished supporting Goering (and the junta that kicked him out) in dismembering the USSR. Left with all of 112 seats, the Tories clocked that going to a bitterly anti-war public on a pro-German platform was a really bad idea, and so switched to shadowing the independent and assertive foreign policy espoused by Labour. However, quite a few Conservatives were decidedly un-cool with that, and led by the ex-PM Lord Caldecote quit the party and formed an independent parliamentary grouping of his top pro-Berlin chums. It picked up some far-left stragglers from Labour across the 1950s and by the tenure of Rab Butler’s miserable ‘government’ of 1965-68, had become a strange populist juggernaut that defied all normal categorisation, with its members united by little more than a burning desire for Britain to quit its quest to play global policeman with its increasingly expensive commitments abroad to the Commonwealth. Contemporary British defeats in Iran and Malaya, as well as the quagmire in South Africa helped cement their parliamentary standing, but it was the War in the Congo that kicked off in 1970 which really helped the U-F. They got 98 seats in the 1975 election and forced the Conservatives, Liberals and Labour to band together in a grand coalition which worked for about 6 seconds until David Steel decided he was fed up with being Prime Minister and quit. Then it was Powell’s turn, and he thought it would be a great idea to call a general election in 1977 to resolve deadlock in his cabinet over an emergency budget, thus cementing his place as the last Conservative PM ever. With the unions choosing to support the U-F’s radical industry plan and the political right increasingly flocking to its more potent demagogues, the party squeezed a majority in 1977 and subsequently took the UK out of the Commonwealth and has run the country under a policy platform of ‘suicide economics’ followed by fundamental restructure of the economy from the ground-up. It’s sort of worked, at the expense of a working democracy. Facing the pressures of government, the Front almost broke up as fundamental policy differences emerged between its various factions, although oddly enough the biggest one was between those who preferred ‘splendid isolation’ and those who preferred closer ties with Germany. In the 1990s the split almost went live when the then-PM David Owen tried to take Britain into the German Weltsystem, but Gordon Brown sorted that out by taking power himself and sending Owen to look after the nightmare in Sierra Leone. Somehow he managed to placate the U-F's divides and has been a steady if bloody pair of hands for Britain ever since. Well done Gordon!

The Opposition
Conservative and Labour Democratic Alliance: 62 seats
Sorry, who?

Liberty and Justice Party: 29 seats
See above. The U-F’s pet democrats who are just a bit too extreme for anyone to actually like. (Un)helpfully offer their most wholehearted support to the CLDA.

Independent: 3 seats
The cool kids who run in constituencies currently under rebel occupation. Obliged to vote with the Government. Fun fun fun.

***

When Gordon Brown aligned Britain with that supposed bastion of democracy and freedom that is West-Euro (yeah, ask the Biafrans what they have to say about that), foreign observers have been increasingly optimistic as to the UK's political future. An article in La Croix even argued that British parliamentary democracy had "risen from the ashes" as the different splinters of West-Euro were so large they essentially amounted to different parties in their own right! I have two words for that: fat chance.

 

[Shaymin0000]

Current Leaders: Charlie Kirk (House Leader), Hunter Avallone (Senate Leader)

How do we keep this timeline from happening

 

[The Jovian]

How do we keep this timeline from happening

Not possible anymore, the best we can do is keep them out of the white house and out of power by voting for people who would never side with them politically.

United British Dependencies

POD the General Strike of 1926 erupts into civil war. Baldwin is killed leading to King George VI making nationwide appeal for calm. Peace is restored but anger against controlling classes leads to more power being devolved to nations

King remains head of state but Parliament is dissolved leading to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland being reclassed as Crown Dependencies. Each has near total control over domestic affairs but Foreign and Defence Policy remains in control of National Executive Council made up of PM, Chancellor, Foreign Sec, Home Sec. First Ministers of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (Republic of Ireland secedes)


PARTIES
Crown Party: Right-wing Royalists. Made up of landowners and peers. Intense hatred of Socialists
Socialists: Left wing with communist tinge
Moderates: Seeks equidistantance between Crown and Socialists

Fascists: Demand strong united control under one leader
SNP, PC Unionists and Nationalists in regional parliaments.

 

[Azule]

The Federalised Union of Czechs and Slovaks.

POD: After the 1992 election returned a HZDS majority in Slovakia, and attempted an abortive secession that quickly turned into a brutal dictatorship under Meclar. Following the events of 1995, especially the Kosice Massacre, a UN-backed intervention led by the Czech Republic liberated Slovakia, who promptly voted to reunify with the Czechs in 1997, on the basis that they had an economy, and were on the verge of joining the EU following Vaclav Havel's masterful arguments during negotiations for the Euro Treaty.

Today, the state is governed by a semi-presidential system (think France in the Fifth Republic) with a unicameral Federal Council consisting of 175 seats, 95 Czech, 70 Slovak, and the rest reserved for the various ethnic minorities present in the nation, and/or used to balance the proportionality of the major factions between redistricting, with a President as head of state, who shares powers with a Prime Minster as (the person tasked with making the President's life utter hell) head of government, and the two states having their own 100-seat legislatures, albeit with Governors serving in lieu of Presidents, and Prime Ministers absent in favour of collective Cabinet leadership. All parliamentary elections are done under the Single Transferable Vote system, while the President/Governors are elected using the two-round system.

PARTIES and their Leaders (Bold indicates Federal Leadership)

Social Democrats: Milos Zeman (C); Robert Fico (S).
Seats: 55 (F) 21 (C) 33 (S)
Despite their name, good luck trying to figure out what, exactly, it is that they stand for, outside of whatever populist policy will grant them the votes of their rural working-class base. Broadly left-wing on economic policy (in as far as it doesn't clash with the many business interests of their "friends"), while appealing to Catholic social conservatism. Remnants of the former Communist party who still wanted power, and as such (rightly) frequently accused of corruption. Mildly Eurosceptic, but don't let Brussels hear that lest they cut off their livelihoods/development grants. Currently the senior party in the government coalition.

Yes! The Network: Andrej Babis (C) Radoslav Prochazka (S)
Seats: 42 (F) 25 (C) 20 (S)
Best thought of as the "conservative" Social Democrats, albeit with their base being mainly suburban, having some semblance of actual policy positions (as long as Babis is kept far away from the podium) and similarly corrupt, the party rides on the coattails of the Babis media empire, and Prochazka's reputation as a fairly good guy back when he was the legal envoy to the ECJ. Neo-liberal economics, and confused on social issues lest it alienate its base. Pro-European, as it's the best way for Mr. Babis to get richer. Junior Partner in the current coalition.

Ordinary Families-Christian Democrats: Pavel Belobradek (C) Igor Matovic (S)
Seats: 24 (F), 16 (C) 15 (S)
An actual conservative party based on Christian morals and a desire to be more like France in the 1960s. As a result, they follow a very strong Pro-European policy. They support a broadly conservative economic policy, albeit believing in a welfare state, coupled with a rather moralistic stance on social issues. Interestingly, the oldest party in the country, being the legal successor of the Czechoslovak People's party which was in charge of the Czechoslovak government in exile.

Free and Fair:Jiri Pospisil (C) Richard Sulik (S)
Seats: 18 (F) 12 (C) 14 (S)
Libertarian party, believing that all drugs should be legal, borders get in the way of business, government should get out of people's lives, the church should get out of the government, and that taxes and business regulations are of the devil. Members probably own a Hayek body pillow and a rather large reggae collection.

Greens: Ivan Bartos (C) Zuzana Caputova (S)
Seats: 14 (F) 13 (C) 4 (S)
The party that supported Havel back in the day, until that bastard decided not to run for his second (technically fourth) term. Since then they have sought to continue his legacy, albeit put a decidedly left wing spin on it. As a result, they are a party resolutely opposed to corruption, wholly committed to environmentalism, civil rights, and humanitarianism. In recent years, they have become rather friendly with the Pirate movement, and their Czech leader was originally a member of that faction. Shocked the world in early 2019 by winning back the Presidency on the back of their leader's personal popularity as a citizen's attorney during a particularly sordid corruption scandal

Communist Party: Collective Leadership
Seats: 8 (F) 7 (C) 1 (S)
Yes. They still exist. Despite their being the successor party to The Party, they have (allegedly) become a fully democratic, constitutional party that pursues its goal of creating a real communist state of the type Dubcek tried to in 1968 (not helping your case, lads). Popular amongst all those who long for the old system, when they had jobs, and hair, and did they ever tell you how were it not for you bastards with keys, they'd've had that new Skoda?. Sadly, as most of the heavy industries in Czechoslovakia have declined from their pre-1989 heyday, this is a worrying amount of people. Support the SD-Y government in the Czech Council.

Dawn: Tomio Okamura (C)
Seats: 6 (F) 5 (C) N/A (S)
Despite their minarchist and direct democratic rhetoric, and the leader's Japanese heritage, are a hard-right anti-immigraton party that believes that the Czech Republic will only rise up whenever they stop having to look after and wipe the drool off of the Slovaks, and that while they're at it, they should send all the migrants there too. Hate Islam and the EU with a passion.

Slovak National Socialist Party: Marian Kotleba (S)
Seats: 4 (F) N/A (C) 10 (S)
People who believe that the only problem with the (Nazi puppet state) first Slovak Republic was that it wasn't fascist enough, this glorified bunch of street thug Neo-Nazis want to dissolve the Union in favour of an independent Slovakia and think that the Nazi extermination camps should be re-opened, and that all the Roma, LGBT, Non-White, Disabled, Jewish, American, Left wing etc. people should be sent there immediately. Increasingly popular in Slovakia in the aftermath of the 2009 recession, and the 2015 migrant crisis. Surprisingly, a lot of rural parishes love them for their fetishisation of the clerico-fascist Tiso regime.

Independents
Seats: 5 (F) 1(C) 3 (S)
A ragtag bunch of ethnic minority representatives playing identity politics and/or regionally-popular maverick politicians who just can't play nice with others, and thus stand alone in a constant well-deserved middle finger to the party system.

The worst part is that all of these parties have basis in reality.

Reds 21st Century Edition (The Political Parties):

Parties with Representation in the British Parliament (c. 2040):

Government:

Labour Party:
Seats in the House of Commons: (211/600)
Political Position: Left-Wing
Political Ideologies: Democratic Socialism, Trade Unionism, British Republicanism

Under the leadership of Owen Jones, the Labour party has fully moved past its New Labour period of centrism and has shifted back into being the party of democratic socialism, republicanism and trade unionism. Currently in charge of the country via a coalition with the Republican Union and a confidence and supply deal with the Independent Liberal Party, Prime Minister Jones has the thankless job of running the country while trying to keep both the center and the far-left happy, and not always succeeding at it.

Republican Union:
Seats in the House of Commons: (86/600)
Political Position: Far-Left
Political Ideologies: British Republicanism, Social Ecology, Libertarian Socialism, British Federalism

The resident far-left party of Britain, formed after the ousting of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader in 2022, it started as an electoral alliance between a group of minor left-wing to far-left parties and regional nationalist parties that unified into a singular political force which seeks a socialist economy and a federal republican-style government for Britain.
Members of the Union:
- Republican Party (England) - Ash Sarkar's Syndicalist party, currently the head of the Union.
- Green Party (England & Wales) - Further left than before, now has embraced Social Ecology as it's official ideology.
- Scottish Nationalist Party (Scotland) - Shifted to the left as well, is now a Democratic Socialist party akin to Sinn Fein. It's independent right-wing got subsequently wiped out in the elections.
- Plaid Cymru (Wales) - Same as SNP.
- People Before Profit (Northern Ireland) - The far-left of Northern Ireland, it began to gain traction as the post-Brexit Malaise took it's hold on the Northern Irish economy. It has largely displaced Sinn Fein as the dominant left-wing party in Northern Ireland.

Confidence and Supply:

Independent Liberal Party:
Seats in the House of Commons: (53/600)
Political Position: Center to Center-Left
Political Ideologies: Social Liberalism, Pro-Europeanism, Social Democracy

The remaining Blairite centrists within the Labour party defected to the Liberal Democrat / Independent Group coalition in the early 2030s forming the Independent Liberal Party. Their platform is boilerplate centrism with occasional nods to the left. Foreign policy wise, they've shifted from their civic nationalism stance during their coalition with the National Alliance and towards a more Euro-friendly direction, favoring a referendum on whether or not to rejoin the EU.

Opposition:

National Alliance:
Seats in the House of Commons: (180/600)
Political Position: Far-Right
Political Ideologies: British Nationalism, National Conservatism, Monarchism, British Fascism

The far-right's answer to the Republican Union, currently headed by former InfoWars corespondent Paul Joseph Watson. The National Alliance is an ad-hoc alliance of UKIP, Britain First, the BNP, the Christian Party and the right-wing of the Conservative Party and as that combination implies, they're openly ethno-nationalist and hardline conservative on almost every stance, favoring "the criminalization of transgender identities and cultural marxism" among other insane policies.

Conservative Party:
Seats in the House of Commons: (53/600)
Political Position: Center-Right
Political Ideologies: Liberal Conservatism, Pro-Europeanism

The "Continuity" Conservative Party is the sad remains of the Britain and Wales Conservatives that refused to join the National Alliance and has further suffered from the loss of its Scottish branch after their split off to form the independent Scottish Unionist Party. Led by Zac Goldsmith, their policies approximate the Cameron-era Conservative Party, unfortunately they're currently learning the hard way how Labour felt after the election of 1931.

Scottish Unionist Party:
Seats in the House of Commons: (12/600)
Political Position: Center to Center-Right
Political Ideologies: Liberal Conservatism, Christian Democracy, British Unionism

The Scottish Conservatives as their own party. Still lead by the refusing to retire Ruth Davidson, they are struggling to make gains against the Republican Union after it absorbed the left-wing of the Scottish Nationalist Party and wiped out the continuity-SNP after they shifted towards conservatism. Policy-wise they are considered akin to a centrist DUP for Scotland.

Sinn Fein:
Seats in the House of Commons: (3/600)
Political Position: Left-Wing
Political Ideologies: Irish Nationalism, Democratic Socialism, Republicanism

Still Abstentionist, but not as prominent among Northern Irish leftists as before given the rise of the Republican Union (which included People Before Profit). Currently debating as to whether or not to throw in the towel in Northern Ireland after a string of defeats to the Republican Union and instead focus on governing the Republic proper as part of the Sinn Fein-Solidarity-PBP coalition.

Democratic Unionist Party:
Seats in the House of Commons: (2/600)
Political Position: Right-Wing to Far-Right
Political Ideologies: National Conservatism, Christian Nationalism, British Unionism

Has shifted to the far-right with the rise of the National Alliance as the dominant right-wing force in Britain, largely identical to the Alliance in terms of policy albeit with a hefty scoop of Christian dominionism. Their new policies have done wonders for their numbers in both the House of Commons and the Northern Irish Assembly.

Here are the Australasian political parties for @ETGalaxy's Socialist Commonwealth of America DBRP.


The Australasian Liberal Party is the main governing party of Australasia. It doesn't always take office, but it takes office pretty frequently, and it's generally considered 'the default' party of the country. It is fundamentally libertarian and pro-capitalist. Its left wing is more socially liberal, while its right wing is apathetic at best and paleolibertarian at worst. They mainly bank on being opposed to Syndicalism, and tend to be pro-business. Kind of neoliberal, mostly libertarian. Under the leadership of John Simmons, the Liberal Party has rigidly supported free speech - even as many people start to wonder about certain radical elements in Australasia.

The Christian Unity Party is known for being socially conservative and economically social-democratic. Distributism especially is written into the party's platform, and the party has been accused by Liberals (capital L, as in the Liberal Party) of being Syndicalist shills. This is, of course, untrue, and frankly the CUP and Syndicalist bloc disagree on almost everything. That said, the slander is still common. The CUP tries to be kind and sympathetic towards people, despite being firmly socially conservative. "Love the sinner, despise the sin" is their modus operandi. For example, they support the criminalization of homosexual relationships and the legal enforcement of the gender binary, but they also support psychotherapists and work to help get queer people disowned by their family jobs. Under the leadership of Mary Birch, the party has embraced its Distributist leanings. The CUP is the main rightist party of Australasia, owing to the fracturing of its far-right base into the next two parties.

The True Faithful Party is where the CUP members who opposed the Distributism of the CUP and their 'moderate' views on social issues went. They're quite small, but have a free marketeer wing and a Christian authoritarian wing. They consider the CUP to be shills for the Syndicalist bloc as well as being far too accepting of sinners for their own good. Perhaps thankfully, the current leader, Jean-Baptiste Pernet, has been running the party to the ground. Stories of Pernet's use of cocaine and hookers have absolutely tanked the TFP's already flimsy reputation.

The Australasian Freedom Party is where the secular rightists who opposed the CUP's Distributism and religious backing went. They also, of course, oppose the True Faithful Party's failed attempts at theocracy. The Freedom Party supports a massive reduction in immigration, opposes most civil rights, low-key undermines Aboriginal rights, and supports a military buildup. The annexation of Tasmania is a major part of their platform as well. The main voting bloc of the Freedom Party is honestly a mix of neoconservatives and nationalists, and the conflict between those two factions makes an already small party basically impotent. Under the leadership of Milo Green, the AFP has become increasingly irrelevant in the political scene of Australasia, but perhaps new leadership might change the dwindling party's fate, especially if it can compare itself to Sun Cross Rising favorably.

Sun Cross Rising is an 'identitarian national communist political party and activist organization' with a paramilitary wing. Coming from the extremist terrorist organization ATOMIC (Australasian Trailblazing Organization for Militant International Communism), Sun Cross Rising has attempted to poach supporters from the falling Freedom Party. It has also worked to benefit from backlash against the Liberal Party's laissez-faire economic politics. SCR has had to fight against it being linked to ATOMIC, but that kind of 'street cred' has actually gotten some people interested in their message. The party supports racial separatism and extreme social-democratic policies, with many in the party wanting to abolish capitalism outright. The party has a mixed view on the Socialist Commonwealth of America, seeing it as decadent but many party members like its economic system. Of the ATOMIC split, Sun Cross Rising is probably doing better than its left-wing counterpart organization. SCR's current leader is one Celia Fitzroy, and she's spearheaded the attempt to change SCR's image from terrorists to legitimate political figures who happen to have a paramilitary wing. It seems clear that SCR will either wilt into irrelevance or make itself mainstream-ish, one way or another.

The Australasian Syndicalist Party is a big tent, encompassing everything from agrarian socialists to syndicalists proper to council communists and anarchists. That said, the ASP (No relation to the other ASP) is mostly Syndicalist. The party had its heyday decades ago, but due to government repression on the part of the Liberals, it has long since become completely irrelevant in terms of actual political action. Their current leadership is under Roy Williams. Williams is an older man who is thoroughly conventional, providing nothing to the party. The party itself has been broken by Australasian government efforts, and is essentially powerless. That said, the ASP is a common scapegoat for everyone from the Liberals to Sun Cross Rising to Christian Unity to the True Faithful Party. Everyone hates them, essentially.

The Progressive Party of Australasia is the only real left-wing legitimate counter to the Liberal Party. The party advocates for neoliberal, capitalist economics and quite far left social values. The party once had a social-democratic wing, but they ended up either in the CUP or the ASP, and the ASP was broken by the state. The PPA has some sway, but frankly most people just vote Liberal. The PPA has, of course, won some elections, and has a solid voter base on the east coast, but that's about it. Under the leadership of Janet Flynn, the party has drifted slowly right socially, but many in the party strongly oppose this and Flynn's time running the party is coming to an end.

The Anarcho-Transhumanist Party of Australasia is an odd duck. A social club for radical nerds as much as it is an actual party, the ATPA supports absolute acceptance of the right to modify one's own body. They work to provide abortions to people in need, they help pay for 3D-printed prosthetics, and they fund research into typical nerd transhumanist stuff. They're also anarchists, and as such are known for demonstrations, protests, and the like. They also feed the hungry and generally work to bring their pie-in-the-sky ideals to life. They have very few members, but nerds who lean left are often party members, as membership is quite cheap and comes with social benefits. They don't have a leader so much as they directly democratically vote for initiatives. The Freedom Party and occasionally Sun Cross Rising often try to hack or rig ATPA elections, to mixed success.

The Kiloton United Front is not actually a party. It's an unapologetic terrorist organization, consisting of the left half of ATOMIC. Still, the relative mainstreaming of Sun Cross Rising, the Freedom Party, True Faithful Party, and to some degree the Christian Unity Party have meant that after the ATOMIC split its membership has spiked. They advocate for syndicalist revolution, though many in their group have councilist or anarchist sympathies. They consider themselves a united front, and wish to bring the whole system crashing down. Them and Sun Cross Rising often are known for getting into violent confrontations. That said, many in the SCR have denounced the KUF for their methods and their ideology. In some ways, the KUF seems as much a revenge tool for the repressed Syndicalist Party and the crimes of the right-leaning Australasian parties as it does an actual coherent organization. Under the new leadership of the Central Committee, the KUF has rapidly grown to attract new members, many of whom are afraid of the right and disillusioned with the Liberals and Progressives. That said, their strategy is iffy and their success is far from assured, to say the least.

In this scenario, which is a part of a project I've long been envisioning, I've taken a number of ideas from a number of posters. I didn't intend to intentionally plagiarize anyone, but like Bob Dylan, I....um....creatively borrowed some ideas from timelines by Lord Caedus, Dustin, EvilSpaceAlien, and others and applied them to a slightly amended version of my own Yankee Dominion project.

Basically, in this world, the American Commonwealth has a map similar to the Yankee Dominion one (though internal borders will have to be adjusted- particularly MN, the Dakotas, Alberta, and Saskatchewan). Unlike The Yankee Dominion, this ATL has retained the British monarchy and the world is more similar to OTL like in the original AC thread than the world of my project is.

I'm thinking of writing a timeline starting in 1968 that would cover political events in this world, and would conclude when I reach the present day. If enough interest is generated, there could be a continuation thread of sorts. I'm always down to collaborate with someone!

Very interesting scenario, although if the Whigs/Tories and Conservative/Liberal are in British sense, note that during the 19th century the Liberals/Whigs, at least until Irish Home Rule, were clearly the pro-business, pro-bank camp, while the Tories/Conservatives were the agrarian, rural-based party.

Also, just nitpicking but I can't imagine John Calhoun being a Whig in British sense, his politics (and OTL 19th century Southern Democrats) fit the British Tories in almost every major issue other than tariffs: slavery, race, and more importantly pro-rural/plantation... And, IOTL, TR Sr fit the Liberals more regarding most of his positions.

The United States of Caribia is a nation in a timeline where all of the caribbean islands are one landmass.
The Island gained independence from Spain,Britain and France in 1827 the colonial territories would unite under one flag later that year. The USA in 1847 would go to war and puppet the Island Republic but in 1861 it would declare independence alongside the CSA. The USA would lose against the CSA and Caribia mostly due to European support. In 1929 the Communist party would win a civil war against the government forming The United Communes of Caribia. A schism in the Communist party would result in the Socialist party taking over the UCC in 1958. A civil war would occur in 1978 between the socialist government and a Democratic coalition with the coalition winning.

The Liberty Party: Libertarianism, Anarcho-Capitalism, center-right. The LP is the 2nd largest party in Cariba. Was founded in 1848 making it one of the first parties founded. Has seen several members become presidents and has seen a resurgence in popularity. There 2020 presidential candidate is John Mcafee.

The Union Party: Conservatism, Economic Nationalism, center-right. The UP is the 3rd largest party in Caribia. Formed from the remnants of The American Party. Founded in 1861 after its secession from the USA. Had a large presence in the late 90's to mid 2000's. There 2020 candidate is Keith Michael.

The Arrivalist Party: Progressive, Modern Liberalism, center-left. The AP is the largest party in Caribia. Originally a Dutch Nationalist group became a liberal party basing itself off the democrats in the USA. Formed in 1912 it has rarely had presence having only a few presidents it has seen recent attention because of the Arrivalist Intergum president. There 2020 candidate is David Bernier.

The Progressive Party: Democratic Socialism, Progressive, Leftist. The PP is the 5th largest party in Caribia. It was formed by the remnants of the Socialist party and the SP was formed by the Communist party. It has had to try and disconnect itself from the tyrannical Socialist party and the Communist Party. It was formed in 1981 after the civil war against the Socialist party. Its 2020 candidate is Rubén Berríos.

The New Atlantic Party: Neoconservative, Nationalism, Far-right. The AP is the 6th largest party in Caribia. Based off the right wing party the Atlantic party which was dissolved in 1929. Seeks the take over Central America, Guyana and Suriname. It was founded in 2002. Its 2020 candidate Jose Castillo.

The Native Party: Civic Nationalism, environmentalism, center-left. The NP is the 4th largest party in Caribia. Its main purpose is to keep the Native American Culture in Caribia alive they also strive for a clean environment. They were founded in 1978 and do not seek presidency.
