Excellent work Harry!
BTW: The rise of the CCF in Saskatchewan should be included.

What is the CCF?

Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Canada's first big Socialist party (and a fore-runner of the NDP).
It was formed during the Great Depression (1932).
The victory of the Saskatchewan CCF (under Bible-bashing lefty, Tommy Douglas) in the 1944 Provincial Election was the most importent event in the Province's history, and the first Socialist government in North America.

Sure; maybe I'll have them merge with Norman Thomas's Socialist party.

The SPUSA would be more likely to merge into the CCF than the other way round (the CCF was formed when a load of small socialist parties merged). Thomas would fit in very well.

Actually both sides were hated by the Peasants (who formed about 80% of Russia's population) hence the "Green" revolts and Nestor Makhno's "Blacks".

Excellent work!

Al, who would be leader of the CCF that I should include maybe as a presidential cnadidate?

The first leader of the federal CCF was J.S.Woodsworth (the MP for Winnepeg North).
In 1944, Tommy Douglas was elected Premier of Saskatchewan (you could make that Governer) and led the federal NDP (the new name for the CCF) from the early '60's.

Alberta is conservative... Saskatchewan, Manitoba and BC are not.
Don't confuse a vote for the Canadian Alliance as a vote for the Canadian Alliance... for a lot of Westerners in the 90's it was a way of saying " you Ottawa!"
Note that the Conservative Party of Canada is polling considerably lower in Saskatchewan than the CA used to... and the NDP are back on top!
---
Provincially, the only reason why BC has a right wing BC "Liberals" government is because the previous Glen Clark government ed up in a big way. The BCLibs now trial the BC NDP in the polls.
In Manitoba, the NDP was re-elected in a landslide last year... and in Saskatchewan the NDP has won the last 4 elections.

Britain would have to be divided up... the population is too big for one state.

How about:

Scotland
Wales
Northumbria (Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, Westmoreland, Yorkshire, Lancashire)
Anglia (everything else?)
Could also have: Mercia (midlands) and/or Wessex (Cornwall, Devon et al)

How about ALL of Ireland free? North Ireland being liberated and allowed to be back with the rest of Ireland?

While 45% of NI would agree with you, 55% would hate you.

BTW in 1912, all of Ireland was part of the UK

Remember the CCF

Remember the CCF

I will. . .  when exactly did it begin?

About 1932/3. It was caused by the Depression.
