I like this. A few random points:

I think an important question would be whether the two-party system is as entrenched in this scenario as IRL. If not, people like James Prior might have a chance at winning.

A Richard Branson candidacy would be really funny. Not exactly the best equivalent to Perot, but I like it.

David Cameron != Mitt Romney in any sense, other than them both being rich. Given the Tories there are plenty of rich people to fill this role Wink. I'm not sure who's the best British equivalent of Romney. Some relatively bland center-right person who's essentially a generic Conservative in positions?

nah i'd say romney and cameron are about equivalent for their countries.

Being a flip-flopping rich guy, Mitt Romney's basically the embodiment of our coalition.

I would've gone with Chuka as Obama, since the media will never put that comparison down.
