President Forever 2008
Author: HarryBarclay
Following the Lib Dems’ crushing defeat in the alternative vote referendum and a drubbing in the local elections, Cameron is forced to push through major constitutional reform to keep Clegg on side. There follows a sweeping Reform Bill, replacing 900 years of monarchy with a United Republic. With an elected House of Lords appointing a new President, much like the US electoral college, who will be moving from Whitehall to Buckingham Palace?
Please note: a big thank you goes to Tom Hughes who put together the original UK 2010 scenario, which was my inspiration, and from which I have adapted my map. His excellent scenario is here: http://scenarios.270soft.com/2009/05/08/united-kingdom-2010/
President Forever 2008

On 19 November 2009, Herman van Rompuy was designated the first permanent President of Europe under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty. But how would things have fared if the decision had been left to the people, and not to heads of state? Would a little-known Belgian have taken the top spot, or would Tony Blair and Jean-Claude Juncker, the original favourites, have battled it out?

A non-confidence motion, backed by Ignatieff’s Liberals, Layton’s NDP, and Duceppe’s Bloc, has led to the fall of Prime Minister Harper’s Conservative government. Can the Liberals return to power after 5 years, or will Ignatieff’s calculations backfire, leading Harper to power and – this time – a majority? Will the NDP perhaps become Her Majesty’s Official Opposition? Can May’s Greens take their first seat in Parliament?

However, with a strong economy and coalition partner- will the ACP weather the storm, or will the Empire elect its first centre-left government in 20 years? – Also check out the site that is the inspiration for this scenario.

The Weimar Republic’s troubles continue as recently appointed Chancellor Adolf Hitler has dissolved the Reichstag to call for new elections, in the hopes that the Nazis and their nationalist allies can win a large enough majority to build a more authoritarian state. But the Nazis’ popularity may be waning, and meanwhile the opposition is divided between the hard-line Communist Party, the comparatively “soft” left-wing Social Democratic Party, and the Catholic voting bloc of the Centre Party and Bavarian People’s Party. With Nazi- and Communist-instigated street violence raging and the economy in dire straits, no one knows quite what to expect — but supporters of the Weimar Republic fear that a Nazi victory could be democracy’s death knell. Will this election be the end of democracy in Germany, and the first stop on the road to World War II?
