In 1984, after winning re-election, Reagan abruptly announces the unification of the US and UK.
1. Ronald Reagan (1985 - 1990) / Margaret Thatcher (Conservative Republican) 2. Margaret Thatcher (1990 - 1995) / Dan Quayle (Conservative Republican) 3. Al Gore (1995 - 2005) / Paddy Ashdown (1995 - 1998), Tony Blair (1998 - 2005) (Democratic) 4. Tony Blair (2005 - 2010) / Mark Warner (Democratic) 5. Rick Perry (2010 - 2015) / David Cameron (Conservative Republican) 6. Ed Milliband (2015- present) / Barack Obama (United Labor)
Losing tickets:
1990 David Steel / Michael Dukakis (D) Neil Kinnock / Roy Hattersley (Lab.)
1995 Dan Quayle / John Major (CR) Labour did not run a candidate due to lack of appeal in America, death of presumptive nominee John Smith, fear of spoiler effect for Gore.
2000 William Hague / John McCain (CR)
2005 George W. Bush / Michael Ancram (CR) Howard Dean / Robin Cook (UL) One of the most controversial elections ever, as Blair came in third place in the popular vote of a tight three-way race, but still managed to gain an electoral college majority by winning in most of the close states, as well as defeating the two American-centric tickets in Britain. While they did win, Blair and the Democrats would never recover from the dramatic unpopularity that resulted.
2010 Harriet Harman / Bernie Sanders (UL) Tony Blair / Hillary Clinton (D)
2015 Rick Perry / David Cameron (CR) Nick Clegg / Susan Collins (D)
