Canada – 1935 – CHC

Since the Great Depression hit Canada, it has left an indelible mark. Everything has fallen in the last 5 years, and even desperate measures are no longer surprising. Bennett’s policies of high tariffs and encouraging external trade to within the Empire brought little benefit. In the pit of unpopularity, Prime Minister put the New Deal for Canada, first announced in January, to a referendum. Mackenzie King, with its experience and patience, can easily crush the Conservatives’ chances. However, distrust of the old parties is pushing Canadians to turn to alternatives. Socialism and evangelicalism come from the West, while populism comes from the East. Of the many paths, where will Canada go?

Canada – 1872 – CHC

The first steps are never easy. Canada also felt it. The unfavourable Treaty of Washington sparked a fierce debate about relations with the United States. Challenges in Manitoba and New Brunswick inflamed passions between English and French. British Columbia joined the union on the condition of building the Pacific Railway. “Better terms” for Nova Scotia also raise many questions. These are vulnerabilities in the government that will be exploited to bring an alternative to Ottawa. Will Sir Macdonald stand or new PM will be elected? The parties will face a nearly 100-day campaign that will span from Halifax to Victoria.

Canada – 1867 – CHC

The Dominion of Canada has been created. The Great Coalition of John A. Macdonald and George Brown linked the four British North American provinces. In 1867, the party truce was over, and the battle began again. Macdonald had patronage and a wave of patriotism in his favour. Brown resurrected the Reformers, raising the banner of responsible government. But not everyone accepts the Confederation. Various politicians in Quebec, New Brunswick and, most notably, Nova Scotia are questioning it. In any case, the results of this election will decide the fate of the new country, in its many tests and trials soon to come.

Original scenario made by Anthony (for PM4E 2006!), based on LukeTheDuke‘s campaign. For more information please contact the background folder.

Note: For true supporters of the Confederation, I created an alternative campaign with Newfoundland and PEI included!

1996 – British Columbia

Will the NDP be able to win again, or will the Liberal party take the reins in British Columbia?

1992 United Kingdom General Election


After the resignation of Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister John Major was swept into power in 1990, leading Britian through the Gulf War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Major premiership is now challanged by a reinvigorated Labour, and with a recession in full swing, many analysts predict that Neil Kinnock’s Labour will secure a majority in the upcoming election. Other parties are also seeking to take advantage of Major’s weak position, most notably the newly formed Liberal Democrats, successors to the now dead Liberal Party, seeking to present a new alternative to the 2 party system. Also in the race is the SNP under Alex Salmond, having slowly been picking up momentum throughout the entire 20th century, many Scottish nationalists hope that by taking advantage of the 1992 recession, the SNP can finally achieve a major electoral breakthrough. Can John Major defy the polls and a weak economy, campaigning as a popular war time leader, and re-establish tory rule for another decade, or will the British people have enough of Thacherite conservatism, bringing Labour and Neil Kinnock to power. You decide!

Parties and Candidates:

Conservative Party – John Major
Labour – Neil Kinnock
Liberal Democrats – Paddy Ashdown
Scottish National Party – Alex Salmond
Plaid Cymru – Dafydd Wigley
Green Party – Jean Lambert
Ulster Unionist Party – James Molyneaux
Social Democratic and Labour Party – John Hume
Democratic Unionist Party – Ian Paisley
Sinn Fein – Gerry Adams
Alliance – John Alderdice
