Democratic President James K. Polk, who presided over the Mexican-American War and the treaty that ended it, has claimed he has accomplished all he set out to do in one term. Now, in the 1848 presidential election, its an open playing field for both Democratic and Whig candidates to seek the nomination, representing both pro- and anti-slavery camps in both parties. And a third, purely anti-slavery party, the Free Soil Party, is running as well.

“In a time of prosperity, the nation sits on edge. With the Soviet Union seemingly bolting ahead of the United States both economically and militarily, it is a difficult time in the Cold War. A communist regime in Cuba threatens to disrupt the peace, and an ever-tightening Iron Curtain is always there. With all of these foreign threats, and with the government now playing an active role in the economy, the nation cries out for strong leadership.”
Note: this scenario is designed for Prime Minister Forever – Canada 2008, not Prime Minister Forever – Australia 2007.

“After 13 years of Labor government, the Liberal/National Coalition have gained strong traction on a message of focusing on more basic issues as opposed to Prime Minister Paul Keating’s emphasis on the so-called “Big Picture.” But given Keating’s victory in the supposedly “unwinnable” election of 1993, no one is counting Labor out as the campaign gets under way.”
Prime Minister Forever – British
Author: RI Democrat
“Though credited with keeping Britain out of nuclear war, the Labour Party proved unable to deal with the multiple crises that arose later, and a series of minority governments have been unable to cope with rising instability and outbreaks of domestic terrorism. The most recent minority government, led by the hard-right Norsefire Party, has fallen in a vote of no-confidence, but its leaders have controversially continued to institute new security measures during the election campaign without the approval of Parliament. Political tension is at an all-time high, and some fear that a Norsefire victory could lead to the end of British democracy.”

This race will be all about the economy and a referendum on the moderate incumbents policies”
