So while national politics tears itself apart and nobody knows what the local elections *really* tell us, here’s a less interesting local election in a city close to my heart, the home of Delia, the Canaries and Alan Partridge. Will Labour be able to keep control of Norwich City Council? Probably. Will the Greens, Lib Dems or Conservatives make any gains? That’s up to you! Enjoy
This is my attempt at a 2020 campaign. As a disclaimer, I am a right-leaning libertarian but tried to keep this scenario as fair as possible. If you notice anything that looks very wrong, let me know and I will research it for use in newer versions.
I’ve updated the issues, Governors, Senators, Primaries dates and delegate counts.
My Democrat list of candidates is up-to-date (I think) as of at least 18 seconds ago. Really, I’m running out of color combinations, that was the biggest problem!
I’ve added recent issues such as the Mueller Probe, The Border Wall, and The Green New Deal. I was going to do “Me Too” and/or “Jeremy Northam controversy”, maybe in the next version.
Since I like to have a little fun with this, I’ve added the Objectivist Party, and the Freedom Caucus, with of course Schultz running as independent, and the latest Libertarian slate. Libertarians have very few parties, almost all the delegate vote takes place at their Memorial Day Weekend convention, so all of the primaries occur at once for themServo75 Trump2020
Anyway, please take a look and enjoy!
I have gone through all the old Canada campaigns and fixed broken links to campaign downloads.
If you find a campaign download that has a broken link, please let me know with a link to the post in the comments. I can then look at it and see if it can be fixed.
With the Spanish general election on 28th April, here is a scenario for the election. I will adjust the figures once the actual results are in to reflect the changes.
Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez is facing a tough re-election fight as a C’s-PP-VOX alliance appears to be gaining ground. Can the Socialists win a majority along with their Podemos allies, or will the right wing parties win? Or will we end up in a situation where neither bloc has a majority and has to rely on nationalist parties?
Party ideologies:
PSOE: Socialist (Centre-Left)
PP: Christian Democratic (Centre-Right to Right-wing)
C’s: Liberal (Centre to centre-right)
UP: Socialist (Left to far-left)
VOX: Ultranationalist, Francoist (Far-Right)
ERC: Nationalist, Socialist (Left-Wing)
PDECAT: Nationalist, Liberal (Centre-Centre-Right)
PACMA: Animal rights, socialism (Left-wing)
PNV: Nationalist, Christian Democratic (Centre-Right)
EH-Bildu: Nationalist, Socialist (Left-Wing).
Party alliances:
Centre-Left: PSOE+UP
Centre-Right/Far Right: PP+C’s+VOX

Based on the AlternateHistory.com story by Drew.
John Julian McKeithen, a former governor of Louisiana, decides to stand for the Democratic nomination. He’s a more moderate figure than George McGovern and can appeal to a wider audience, and crucially also comes from a political background that has acquainted him quite as much with dirty tricks as Nixon.
Theoretically, thanks to McGovern refusing to step down and standing as a “Peace” candidate, as well as George Wallace staying in the race, no one wins the Electoral College vote. I, however, haven’t been able to get such a result. Nevertheless, I’m releasing it now and am open to suggestions for refining it.
UPDATE 2/4/19: Reinstated the Crystal Ball. I had no idea that Barry Commoner was in fact a real independent candidate in 1980! Oops!

It’s still in some development, but mostly it should be done, I’m really bad at balancing, so please tell me if there’s any issues of one party winning every time. Also this is my first publicly posted mod!
This campaign is loosely based off an existing “Brazil – 2018” scenario by victorraiders, but focused on the second round instead of the first round. Among the changes I made, this scenario has:
I am planning to add more endorsers and possibly more events and possible running mates. I’m looking forward to seeing any feedback. Have fun!
Planned changes: adding more surrogates, and maybe a few endorsers too.
I have completed a remake of the old 2010 – Alabama Gubernatorial Election scenario from the old P4E2008 game. Polling for candidates who ran are set to the official results. The what ifs from the old scenario keep the P4E2008 polling data which seems to produce a nice blend. For some of the weaker official candidates I tried to find issue specific issue positions but where it wasn’t possible they are defaulted to the old scenario GOP platform.
There are a lot of endorsers so they best function with primaries enabled to avoid a huge momentum surge.
I couldn’t see a name of the original scenario creator but the base scenario was here http://campaigns.270soft.com/2009/05/06/alabama-gubernatorial-2010/
