Line 39:
* ''[[Gilligan's Island|Gilligans Island]]'' had an election, they elected Gilligan.
** Which is why they [[Too Dumb to Live|deserve to die]].
* ''[[Jericho]]'' legally elected a new, (and less competent) mayor not long after the catastrophe.
* In ''[[The Tribe]],'' [[The Dragon|Ebony]], an authoritarian [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative bitch]] was elected as city leader.
* ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' doesn't really have an election, though it's pretty clear why the military has the policy on disaster situations it has (see [[Real Life]]).
Line 47:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Despite being all monarchies, ''[[Dragon Age]]'' has the [[Player Character]] able to influence (or dictate) two elections for King during the oncoming Blight apocalypse. While just placing a new monarch guarantees soldiers, depending on the choices made beforehand is whether the kings (and/or queen) do well in the resulting peacetime.
* In ''[[Fallout 2]]'' the United States government, which lives inside an abandoned oil rig and is thus called "The Enclave", holds presidential elections just like in the times before the nuclear war. However, it is hinted that there is only one candidate who would rule for years. In any case, only about a thousand people lived on the rig, and so the franchise is miniscule and definitely not representative of the will of the American people.
** In ''[[Fallout 3]]'' {{spoiler|John Henry Eden}} didn't even try this and he can be talked into killing himself because of it.
