Underused Political PODs

I like this as a possible POD. Clinton's Chief of Staff, Betsy Wright, also played a role in him deciding at the last minute not to run, and directly pointed to some of his Paula Jones type personal baggage that could came out if he ran. If you move Clinton up 4 years, it dramatically changes our views of Iran Contra, and if Iraq invades Kuwait on schedule, it would be very interesting to see what it does for perceptions of Democratic foreign policy if Clinton is seen as decisively pushing Iraq out.
Here's one. Kim Jong Un's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, I believe was his name takes over as North Korean leader after Kim Jong Il dies.
 
If Neil Kinnock wins in 1992 and/or John Smith survives, does "New Labour" still come to pass and does the party manage to avoid the internal drama of the TB-GBs?
