What are some examples of political campaigns [regardless of country] where single-issue parties/candidates actually triumphed in the elections, and what happened to those parties after their single-issue was implemented? Did they fade away, adapt, or what?

What factors made different types of historical military "units" distinctive from one other? In other words, what distinguished a Norse Huskarl from a Lithuanian Leiciai from a German Landsknect? Or are these just different cultural terms for "big dude with armor/weapon who fights real good"?

In "Operation Mincemeat", Ben MacIntyre speculates that Alexis Von Roenne passed along false information about the invasion due to his ardent anti-Nazism and devout Christian faith. Are there any primary sources (trial documents, personal journals etc) that substantiate this claim?

In many 90s comedies/dramas, a key plot point involves a pregnant woman going into labor unexpectedly, and the hapless husband having to race through traffic to get to the hospital. This seems to rarely happen today. What medical advances occurred in the last 30 years to make this trope obsolete?
