arjavrawal Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 This is an idea I've been thinking about for a while. Wanted to see if there was any interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound like it could have promise. One big question though - the Head-of-State: -Would you have like Germany, Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Greece, Israel, India, and several others where the President is ceremonial and has no true power, but can choose a Prime Minister (or other chief executive title) if no one holds a majority, or; -Like France, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Pakistan, South Korea, Taiwan, and a few others, where executive power is divided between the President and the parliamentary chief executive, with each having firm and distinct powers and the possibility what they call "cohabitation" in French politics (the President of a different and opposing party to the parliamentary chief executive and, thus, the party that controlled the parliament), or; -Like South Africa, where the President IS both the head-of-state and the chief executive, and is chosen from the parliamentary majority party leadership, but there's no one to moderate or choose if no one holds an outright majority, and thus some sort of coalition is NEEDED - plus, there's no head-of-state who can prematurely dissolve parliament (a similar setup exists for the Ministers-President of the State Governments of Germany).

Â My plan is to base this off of an Alternate History timeline in which America is a parliamentary democracy --Â https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/america-as-parliamentary-democracy-2002-present-rebooted.415091/ In this timeline there's a Prime Minister (similar to Britain) but a Governor-General figurehead.

And incidentally, the author of the AH timeline that I posted a link to is the creator of this scenario. Mine will probably start with a 2018 version as a beta and then moving back to 2002-03 times where the timeline is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiw Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 That's a yes! I tried making such a scenario, but it sort of went nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky99 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Just stumbled across this thread. Have there been any developments so far? Co-incidentally, I just started working on a similar scenario a week ago, and would really like to see some other takes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolves Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The 2008 scenario was solidly done but its clear it took way too much time to do. I hope you the best OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
