Where to start#
Each election carries a difficulty tag showing how hard it is to rewrite history on Normal as the historical underdog. Easy means a genuine toss-up winnable from either side. Hard means a decisive result you are fighting.
- United States: US 2020 is the original campaign and is free. Easy: 2020, 2016, 2012, 2000 and 1960. Landslide years such as 1964, 1972 and 1984 carry a "historical tide" warning.
- United Kingdom: Easy: 1964, February 1974, 2010 and 2017. Medium: 1970 and October 1974. 1983, 1997, 2001 and 2024 are landslides.
- Canada: 2025 and 2021 are easy, 2019 and 2015 are hard.
- Australia: 2022 is medium, 2019 and 2025 are hard.
- Germany and France: every election is hard, and France 2017 is a landslide.
