Foreword

I wanted to try my hand at a shorter, more concise timeline, and this is something I've had in my head for a while and even once made into a scenario for 270soft's election simulator games. (I'm not abandoning my "America as Parliamentary Democracy" timeline, but this one will probably wrap up a lot quicker.)

The idea behind this timeline is to show how the Norsefire regime of V for Vendetta might actually come to power, with a POD in the early 1980s. This doesn't strictly follow the details of the comic or the film - in a nutshell, the chronology is closer to that of the comic, while some of the individual characters and events are closer to those of the film. Entries will focus on a series of elections leading up to Norsefire coming to power, with each post roughly equivalent to a Wikipedia entry but with perhaps more background info on major events since the last vote. (I don't know how to make Wikiboxes and in all honesty I don't particularly like the Wikipedia format for elections, but there will still be tables and graphics for each entry.)
