Alternate Party Logos.

False Dmitri

Fun to see my logos from a year an a half ago. I missed this thread back then - thanks, TB. :)

TB is so modest, she neglected to share her own logo for the Cascadian National Party ("libertarian, ecological, populist, and regionalist"):

Or for the Delawarean Conservative Party.

This is a logo I created for my local Green affiliate, which (if you want to be technical about it) does not exist. It references the county's logo.

And this is another logo from TB's Balkanized US Politics project. The Alaskan Independence Party.

The Liberal-Republican Party of New York is a well-known political unity party, similar to the Workers-Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota, the Progressive-Farmer Party of Iowa, and the Conservative-Democratic Party of Georgia.

This one's based on all those 'What if US elections were like UK ones?' threads going around. Here's the Southern Rights Party (SRP), our SNP-stand in.

"Having long shaken off their Neo-Confederate roots, the SRP have since reinvented themselves through a combination of progressive economics, Evangelical social policies and anti-establishment populism. The SRP currently dominates the Deep South political scene, having gained unprecedented widespread popularity among a huge and diverse range of Southern voters, and is the third largest party in Congress.

Despite the failure of the 2014 independence campaign, the party has surged in support under the new leadership of Mary Landrieu, taking almost every Southern state in 2015 Midterm Elections (mostly from the Labor Party) and throwing the future of the United States into doubt."

Is that a deliberate reference to the OTL party of that name - which, bizarrely, existed years before the Civil War?

Already posted elsewhere. The logo of the French Parti Machiniste:

I consider the basic divide in political thought in my Swedish Strangerverse to be between machinism and organism. The divide and the ideologies are not meant to be the main point of the story, or meant to be as divisive and alien to OTL terminology as Societism and Diversitarianism in, for example, Look to the West, but basically, in my timeline, the political labels "right-wing" and "left-wing" never really gathers to much traction outside the confines of the French Revolution beyond occasionally being brought up during the 19th century to indicate that one wants to maintain and work within the old system (right) or whether or not one wants to overthrow it in a revolution (left). Since the left-right divide in this timeline simply becomes a matter of where you are on a single issue, and that this issue may vary from country to country, the labels never really catch on, and are more or less dead by the start of the 19th century.

Instead, people tend to consider the spectrum to be from organism to machinism in how society is to be governed, whether society can be seen and should be treated as a living, evolving organism, where you want people to organize more or less themselves, or whether society is to be seen as a machine for which the State is to act the dutiful engineer in turning the wheels to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Different kinds of socialism end up on different parts of the spectrum, different kinds of conservatism does the same, liberalism is generally considered to be an organic ideology, while the notion of the welfare state is generally considered to be a machinist conception.

Other than because of how it worked in OTL Scotland, why would the SRP take votes from Labor when their ideologies have no crossover and the OTL American South is so conservative?

The Southern Labor Party had a New Deal coalition type situation, with huge support from black voters while the rest supported their protectionist* economics.
The SRP swept to power more on the back of "screw the establishment" disillusionment and regionalism/nationalism than anything else. They just back whichever policies are popular at the time.
Plus, being socially right wing =/= being fiscally right-wing. That and it's not OTL's South.

Anyhow, it's not intended to be 100% realistic. ;)

I was reading the opening essay to the Southern Agrarian manifesto I'll Take My Stand. The essay was entitled "Reconstructed but Unregenerate" by John Crowe Ranson. He proposed that the South could maintain its unique, agrarian identity through aggressive sectionalism, just short of secession. He pointed out Scotland within the United Kingdom as a model, stubbornly insisting on its own culture.

My thoughts on a Southern SNP is that it would be more "agrarian" than "progressive" in its economic outlook. Other than that, I like it.
