Prime Minister Forever-Canada Results Thread

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Could we do this with other versions of Prime Minister Forever? Such as Australia and the United Kingdom?

I was playing as Prime Minister Paul Martin in the original Canadian Prime Minister Forever. I made him a right-wing extremist, except on the issue of Terrorism. Which he said Let's surrender to the terrorists. In the end, the Liberal party managed to get 27 seats and Paul Martin lost his seat. Here's the results:

Conservative 167 seats (5,529,836) 37%
Bloc Quebecois 69 seats (2,268,111) 15%
New Democratic 45 seats (3,860,531) 26%
Liberal 27 seats (3,069,220) 20%

Results in Paul Martin's seat of LaSalle-Emard:

Thierry Larivee (Bloc Quebecois) 45%
Paul Martin (Liberal) 39%
Rebecca Blaikie (NDP) 8%
Joe de Santis (Conservative) 7%

Which year was that scenario?

It was the original 2004 scenario.

I ran as myself in Australian Prime Minister Forever. I was the Liberal Party candidate who took charge of the Liberal Party after the resignation of John Howard in June 2003. I ran on a moderate platform which was well received by the Australian voters. In the end it was a massive landslide for the Liberal/National Coalition. The ALP ended the election with 43 seats.

Note: Results on Two-Party Prefered

Liberal/National Coalition 107 Seats 56% (5,677,208)
Labor Party 43 Seats 43% (4,374,140)

Hashemite did you give the Greens $999,000,000 dollars so they could pull off this victory? I gave the Greens that much money once and I only won 8 seats. Could I ask did Prime Minister Paul Martin lose his seat? That would be the icing on the cake in a scenario like this.

I just ran as Kevin Rudd in the Australia 2007 scenario in Australian Prime Minister Forever. I didn't begin to campaign until the final three weeks. I attacked Prime Minister Howard on his Workchoices policy, whilst balancing those attack ad's with ones boasting Kevin Rudd's Leadership. The last poll before the Election indicated that I would win with a 53-45% margin over the Coalition.

It was to be the case. I ended up winning the election as Kevin Rudd and his ALP. They managed to gain 23 seats and have a swing of 5.9% against the Coalition, towards the ALP.

Federal Election Results - November 24 2007

Australian Labor Party: 83 seats, 49% of the P.V. (4,997,883) WINNER
Australian Liberal Party/Nationals: 67 seats, 44% of the P.V. (4,564,440)
Australian Greens: 0 seats, 4% of the P.V (494,859)

The ALP managed to knock off Michael Ferguson in Bass, Aging Minister Christopher Pyne in Sturt and numerous other Liberals around the country.

However, the ALP weren't able to pick up the seats of Bennelong (where Prime Minister Howard defeated Maxine McKew 51-49%), Wentworth (where Environment Minister Turnbull defeated George Newhouse 52-48%) and North Sydney (where I.R. Minister Joe Hockey defeated former T.V. Weatherman Mike Bailey 51-49%). These seats had High profile ALP candidates running.

What is this "coalition" business?

Useless crap.

In Chancellor Forever once I somehow managed to create a coalition between Angela Merkel's CDU and Gerhard Schröder's SDP. Though it does not beat the funniest coalition of them all Angela Merkel's CDU and Joschka Fischer's Greens. LOL.

Neither of which are impossible (nor anything near impossible).

I know they're not Xahar but its funny nonetheless, at least for myself when I was 13 years old back in 2006 when I purchased the game. However the novelity soon wore out and I haven't played the game for a while, due to numerous Index Errors

1980 General Election



Joe Clark (Conservative): 126 seats, 39% of the PV (6,114,903)
Pierre Trudeau (Liberal): 104 seats, 37% of the PV (5,770,012)
Ed Broadbent (New Democratic): 48 seats, 19% of the PV (3,082,257)
Fabien Roy (Social Credit): 4 seats, 3% of the PV (532,749)

I ran as incumbent Prime Minister Joe Clark and I turned the Election from a seemingly impossible victory over former Prime Minister and incumbent Opposition Leader Pierre Trudeau into one where I maintained the lead for the last two weeks of the campaign. However, Ed Broadbent's New Democratic Party ruined my chances of an outright victory by some how managing to win 20 of the seats in British Columbia to turn the election into a hung parliament.

Despite Broadbent and the New Democratic Party ruining my chances of an outright victory, Governor General Edward Schreyer selected Joe Clark to serve as Prime Minister, and thus a victory for Prime Minister Clark in 1980. However it was a bit odd for a man from the New Democratic Party to select Clark to lead a minority Government.

1988 General Election



Ed Broadbent (New Democratic): 117 seats, 34% of the PV (5,548,173)
Brian Mulroney (Progressive Conservative): 89 seats, 29% of the PV (4,778,535)
John Turner (Liberal): 87 seats, 28% of the PV (4,506,897)
Preston Manning (Reform): 2 seats, 3% of the PV (485,702)
Robert Toupin (Independent): 0 seats, 1% of the PV (261,563)
Ed Vanwoudenberg (Christian Heritage): 0 seats, 1% of the PV (237,321)
Elmer Knutson (Confederation of Regions): 0% of the PV (117,758)

In this 1988 scenario I ran as leader of the New Democratic Party Ed Broadbent. It seemed as if Prime Minister Brian Mulroney would be reelected to a second term as Prime Minister of Canada and the Liberals would continue to suffer under John Turner, however it was not to be. After a rollercoster ride of an election, which resulted in Mulroney's drastic demise in the polls, even a brief period of Turner's Liberals leading the in polls two weeks prior to the November 21st election, the Broadbent and NDP campaign under my management somehow managed to be tied with Prime Minister Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives on Election Day. Thus for the second game of Canadian Prime Minister Forever in a row it was a hung parliament. And guess who Governor General Jeanne Sauvé asked to form the next Government...Ed Broadbent!!! In short it was the best game of Canadian Prime Minister Forever I ever played

1980 General Election



Pierre Trudeau (Liberal): 124 seats, 43% of the PV (6,714,685)
Ed Broadbent (New Democratic): 105 seats, 29% of the PV (4,584,409)
Joe Clark (Progressive Conservative): 52 seats, 23% of the PV (3,637,857)
Fabien Roy (Social Credit): 1 seat, 3% of the PV (512,378)

Probably the strangest simulation of the 1980 election I've ever played. At the campaign's beginning Clark raced to an early lead and Liberal support rapidly deteriorated, resulting in the NDP experiencing a significant bounce in the polls. With only two weeks remaining the Trudeau campaign mobilised with a damnning advertising campaign on Clark's inexperienced. In combination with ads praising Trudeau's experience, this resulted in the reemergence of Liberals come election day, and thus Pierre Trudeau would once more become Prime Minister of Canada with the NDP, led by Ed Broadbent becoming Her Majesty's Opposition.
