1926 – Alberta

The 1926 Alberta general election is due to be held on June 28, 1926, to elect members of the 6th Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The United Farmers of Alberta government first elected in 1921 is hoping for re-election. Last year Herbert Greenfield resigned as UFA leader and premier being replaced by John E. Brownlee. Can he lead the UFA to a second election victory or will the Liberals return to power in Edmonton?

As STV isn’t available, the system for Calgary and Edmonton has been replaced by the Instant Runoff system used for the remainder of the province but modified to artificially create competitive contests.

Version 2 is a small fix to make the generic debate show up. (version 1 had the date set to April in error).

1921 – Alberta

The Liberals have been in power for 15 years and seek their 5th consecutive electoral win under Premier Charles Stewart. The Conservatives were able to mount their strongest challenge so far at the last election in 1917. A new party, the UFA, makes it’s first provincial election appearance. The labour movement remains split, but a number of ‘Labour’ candidates are running to make it an effective 4th force.

The platforms for Independent Labour, the Indepedent Liberal and the Socialist Party were compiled by locating sources through ChatGPT.

02/03/2025 – Update made to change the UFA logo and party colour to Green from Light Yellow.

1917 – Alberta

The 1917 Alberta general election will be the fourth general election held in the Province of Alberta. Taking place on June 7, 1917, to elect 58 members to the 4th Alberta Legislature. The incumbent Liberal Party led by Premier Arthur Sifton are aiming for a fourth consecutive majority government. The Conservative Party led by Edward Michener are hoping to defeat the Liberals at the second attempt. Who will emerge victorious on election night.

2024, Ultra Realism.

This is my custom built 2024. I tried my best to make the margins as realistic to the actual results as possible, with that being said, it’s still very possible to win as Harris. The campaign just features more narrow gameplay, no flipping Indiana or Colorado.

The campaign is based on the base scenario, but features upgraded portraits and issue icons. It also features drastically re-written bios for the issues. The margins have been perfectly adjusted to allow for sensible results.

Every nominee has fleshed out gameplay. Sometimes it’s fun to just play as RFK Jr withdrawn candidacy and just watch the results. Think of this as a realistic election simulator as well as a game.

Enjoy

Australia – 1998

The 1998 Australian Federal Election is shaping up to be a defining moment in the nation’s political landscape.

While the Howard Government seeks re-election on the back of economic management and tax reform, the opposition Labor Party, led by Kim Beazley, is determined to capitalize on voter anxieties surrounding the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST). However, the electoral battlefield is more complicated than a simple two-party contest, the rise of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has shaken traditional party alignments, particularly in Queensland and rural Australia, where discontent over globalisation, immigration, and economic change is driving a populist surge. Meanwhile, the Democrats aim to position themselves as the party of moderation, promising to keep the GST in check if it passes the Senate. The Greens, still a minor force, advocate for stronger environmental policies, while the Nationals struggle with internal divisions over how to handle One Nation’s growing support in their heartland, with the Coalition banking on tax reform, Labor campaigning against it, and One Nation disrupting the status quo, this election presents a host of challenges and opportunities for every party involved.

The question now is: Who will shape Australia’s future?

  • Will you secure another term for John Howard, ensuring the passage of the GST and solidifying the Coalition’s control?
  • Can you lead Labor back into power, defeating the GST and capitalising on voter frustration with economic inequality?
  • Will you navigate the Democrats into a kingmaker role, balancing economic reform with social responsibility?
  • Can you help One Nation expand beyond Queensland, reshaping Australian politics with a populist insurgency?
  • Or will you bolster the Greens, pushing environmental and progressive policies into the mainstream?

The stakes are high, and the future of Australia at the turn of the millennium is in your hands.

1976 – The Year of the Outsiders

The United States is in turmoil. Inflation is soaring at 9%, unemployment is high, and the economy is stagnant—a phenomenon dubbed stagflation. President Gerald Ford, having never been elected to the presidency or vice presidency, struggles to gain legitimacy after pardoning Richard Nixon, a move that enrages the public. His approval ratings are dismal, and his attempts to curb inflation with initiatives like Whip Inflation Now (WIN) fail to gain traction. The nation is restless, looking for change.

The Battle for the Republican Party – Ford vs. Reagan

Despite being the incumbent, Ford faces a fierce primary challenge from former California Governor Ronald Reagan, who portrays Ford as weak and insufficiently conservative. Reagan excites the party base but struggles with moderate and liberal Republicans who see him as too radical. Ford ultimately edges out Reagan at the Republican National Convention, but at great cost—he alienates many conservatives.

What If Ford Picked Rockefeller Instead of Dole?

  • Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, a liberal Republican, would have helped Ford in states like New York, potentially flipping it to the GOP.
    • However, conservative strongholds like Virginia and Oklahoma might have defected due to Rockefeller’s association with big government policies.
    • The electoral map could have flipped, leading to a narrow Ford victory over Carter.

What If Reagan Had Won the GOP Nomination?

  • Liberal Republicans, fearing Reagan’s conservatism, might have bolted the party and backed Carter.
  • Reagan’s appeal in the South and West could have offset Carter’s strength, but the loss of Northeastern moderates might have sunk him.

The Democratic Primary – Carter, Jackson, Brown & Wallace

The Democratic field is crowded. Jimmy Carter, the former governor of Georgia, presents himself as a Washington outsider, capitalizing on voter distrust of the political establishment. His strategy works, allowing him to edge out opponents like:

  • Henry “Scoop” Jackson, a hawkish Cold War Democrat.
  • Mo Udall, the progressive environmentalist.
  • George Wallace, the Southern populist who appeals to white working-class voters.
  • Jerry Brown, Fiscal moderate with a focus on environmentalism, and a more decentralized government.

What If Henry Jackson Had Won Instead of Carter?

  • Jackson’s strong anti-communist stance could have won over blue-collar voters.
  • However, Carter’s Southern strategy would have been absent, making the South more competitive for Ford.

What If Ted Kennedy Had Run in 1976?

  • A Kennedy candidacy would have electrified the Democratic base, uniting liberals.
  • However, his Chappaquiddick scandal (1969) remained a liability.
  • Kennedy could have faced a closer race with Ford, especially among moderates skeptical of a liberal dynasty candidate.

Election Night 1976 – A Narrow Carter Victory

In reality, Carter won by portraying himself as an honest, small-town Southerner against the tainted Ford administration. But in a year of political upheaval, one or two changes could have rewritten history.

Would a different VP pick have saved Ford? Would Reagan have pushed the GOP to an early conservative revolution? Could Kennedy have rewritten history four years earlier?
