Yeah. The Convention made sense, because it had been so elegantly foreshadowed, but then the whole coup thing felt unrealistically forced.
So the two major parties are Mecham's Conservatives and the continuity-Buckleyite Constitution Party?
Honestly, I think that the Democrats and Socialists would merge together into a broad-tent left-ish party. Think labor unions, Catholic rights, Hispanic rights, that sort of thing. Hispanics in the 1970s or so were working-class and big on organized labor stuff, if I recall right. Given their time working together in Opposition and probably some radicalisation on the Dems' part, I can see a broad-ish "Social Democratic Party" or something emerging.
So basically my ideal Democratic Party pre-1972 versus Mechamite Conservatives?
*George Meany intensifies*
At least you put my homeboy Pierre Salinger back in the Senate.
Salinger's a really interesting character - was in the Kennedy and Johnson White Houses, then became a Senator for California, then a political commentator in France and a columnist for a right-wing French newspaper. It's a shame not to use him and his wonderful eyebrows with those Jamaican cigars.
*Lane Kirkland intensifies*
I could post a picture of Walter Reuther, but I'm not going to.
Nah - I'm using him in my British TL.
I'm sorry - ITTL it should be Senator Walter Reuther (S-NY).
After the downfall of Buckley, how will evolve the the French, Portuguese, and Spanish exile governments?
As for the negociations leading to the refom of the U.N., it seems at least four of the five permanent seats are now held by left-wing governments.
How this will work for the private colleges and university?
And I can infer this article was put in place after the States' Right Party-sponsored voucher system.
So the BuckleyCorps will stay owned by the State?
As for the second clause, the military just lost any opportunity of becoming a business power in its own right, and the ban on profit-making could elad to inefficiencies.
"The Party" is forever banned, but is the anti-Buckleyite branch of the former GOP banned from reestablishing the Republican Party or is the Elephant forever tainted?
So the only reason to not be able to vote is if the person hasn't evidence he is a citizen.
Doesn't they fear fraud issues? Putting the voting days on public holidays, and opening the voting offices from 8 A.M to 10 P.M. would have been better, in order to prevent the kind of sheningans used by Buckley and his pals.
No Senate?
Will the U.I.S. fund States whose ressources prevent them from fulfulling this obligation?
As for the land and natural resources part, I may imagine more States than only OTL North Dakota establishing State banks to reinvest inside the State the benefits of the public wealth.
My bets are the U.I.S.
