Let Out Of The Stalls For The '38 Derby

1937: Anthony Eden (Conservative) (National Government) [1]
1941: Anthony Eden (Conservative) [2]
1946: Anthony Eden (Conservative) [3]
1951: Anthony Eden (Conservative) [4]
1956: Richard Butler (Conservative) [5]
1960: Hugh Gaitskell (Labour) [6]
1965: Hugh Gaitskell (Labour) [7]
1967: Richard Crossman (Labour) [8]
1972: Richard Crossman (Labour) [9]
1977: Edward Heath (Conservative) [10]
1982: Edward Heath (Conservative - Liberal Coalition) [11]
1984: Michael Foot (Labour) [12]
1987: Roy Hattersley (Labour) [13]
1992: Michael Heseltine (Conservative) [14]


[1] After the Abdication Crisis, Baldwin planned his retirement. The chance death of Neville Chamberlain scuppered his plans of a smooth transition and factional open warfare broke out among the Tory ranks as to who would gain the favour of the Men In Grey Suits. Eventually, the Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden attained the premiership after his emergence as a compromise acceptable both to the Churchillites and those who would not permit Churchill himself anywhere near 10 Downing Street.
[2] Combined with political developments in France favouring intervention, Eden presided over the strangling of Nazism in its cradle through the Austrian War of 1938-1940. Having proved wrong the voices of appeasement in his own party (a process which involved ditching the National Liberals), he went to the country early and with a short victorious war and an economic recovery to his credit, won a majority for the Conservatives in their own right.
[3] Eden's popularity continues with warming relation with Europe and the United States. The economic recovery turns into a full 'boom' period as Eden is credited with the so-called 'Fabulous Forties'
[4] Eden remained popular, his record as Prime Minister being outstanding. However, other members of the Conservative Party became increasingly malcontent, seeing his unprecedented time as PM as strangling their own ambitions. And Edens own health began to fail, as the Empire began to slowly unravel, as nationalists in Africa and Asia emerged.
[5] With Eden's health failing, Butler persuaded him to resign in 1955, he won on Eden's popularity.
[6] In what is acknowledged as no fault of Butler's, Labour wins a majority of 70 seats under a program of keeping with Tory spending for at least four years and maintaining Imperial connections, but an old idea by the deceased Chamberlain's father is being brought back as Australian Professor Enoch Powell re-introduces the idea in modern politics.
[7] Gaitskell dodges a health scare and leads Labour to a similar result at the 1965 election.
[8] Gaitskell's heart condition resurfaces and after a surprise heart attack, he is forced to resign. His protégé handily wins the ensuing leadership election, the first time Labour MPs have directly elected a Prime Minister.
[9] Crossman proves to be a very popular Prime Minister, a new young face for the ageing Labour Party. In other news, the Conservatives have a new leader, his name is Heath, Edward Heath.
[10] Despite a booming economy akin to the boom in the Empire of Japan (especially with their Korean manufacturing boom in high gear) Heath wins a small majority on the back of years of Labour victories.
[11] Heath's small majority is reduced to a minority. The Tories form a coalition with the Liberals.
[12] The coalition falls over disagreements regarding decolonisation. While the Tories favour a "stay the course" path in regards to development and eventual independence, the Liberals push more for high investment in the various African colonies and followed quickly by independence within the Commonwealth as a whole. The argument comes to a head over the decolonization of Kenya, and Labour wins the subsequent election.
[13] Foot is forced to resign after contracting lung cancer following a return to smoking to cope with the stresses of being Prime Minister. Deputy Prime Minister and Home Secretary Roy Hattersley is the unanimous choice to take over after impressive performances with regard to handling immigration and lowering crime figures.
[14] Black Wednesday permanently damages Hattersley's reputation and he proceeds to lose the next elections as the Tories steal a (very) slim majority.

[13] Foot calls a snap election to win a higher majority but this backfires and gives Steel's Liberals and Howe's Tories more seats.

[1] After the Abdication Crisis, Baldwin planned his retirement. The chance death of Neville Chamberlain scuppered his plans of a smooth transition and factional open warfare broke out among the Tory ranks as to who would gain the favour of the Men In Grey Suits. Eventually, the Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden attained the premiership after his emergence as a compromise acceptable both to the Churchillites and those who would not permit Churchill himself anywhere near 10 Downing Street.
[2] Combined with political developments in France favouring intervention, Eden presided over the strangling of Nazism in its cradle through the Austrian War of 1938-1940. Having proved wrong the voices of appeasement in his own party (a process which involved ditching the National Liberals), he went to the country early and with a short victorious war and an economic recovery to his credit, won a majority for the Conservatives in their own right.
[3] Eden's popularity continues with warming relation with Europe and the United States. The economic recovery turns into a full 'boom' period as Eden is credited with the so-called 'Fabulous Forties'
[4] Eden remained popular, his record as Prime Minister being outstanding. However, other members of the Conservative Party became increasingly malcontent, seeing his unprecedented time as PM as strangling their own ambitions. And Edens own health began to fail, as the Empire began to slowly unravel, as nationalists in Africa and Asia emerged.
[5] With Eden's health failing, Butler persuaded him to resign in 1955, he won on Eden's popularity.
[6] In what is acknowledged as no fault of Butler's, Labour wins a majority of 70 seats under a program of keeping with Tory spending for at least four years and maintaining Imperial connections, but an old idea by the deceased Chamberlain's father is being brought back as Australian Professor Enoch Powell re-introduces the idea in modern politics.
[7] Gaitskell dodges a health scare and leads Labour to a similar result at the 1965 election.
[8] Gaitskell's heart condition resurfaces and after a surprise heart attack, he is forced to resign. His protégé handily wins the ensuing leadership election, the first time Labour MPs have directly elected a Prime Minister.

1955: Anthony Eden (Conservative) [1]

[1] The Conservative's win a landslide after 10 years of Labour domination and in the wake of Attlee's disasterous handling of Malayan Emergency, the Kenyan Insurgency and the situation regarding the Suez Canal. Eden promises to reverse the trend of what he see's as the "Scuttling of the Empire" by Labour.

Eden promises to reverse the trend of what he see's as the "Scuttling of the Empire" by Labour.
[2] After winning the 1959 general election with a solid majority, Eden resigns after his health declines and he is diagnosed with a stomach ulser. Foreign Secretary Lord Home returns to the Commons in a by-election following the Peerage Act of 1958 to assume the Premiership from the Commons after Eden recommends him to the Queen.

[6] Considered one of the more boring elections in decades. Few seats change hands, while Labours new mantra of staying the course (for the sake of the People) rings true to most voters. The occasional revival of Stalinist era policies in the USSR and the extreme anti-socialist anti-communist policies of an increasingly paranoid USA continues to push Britain and western Europe in general towards Third Way Socialism.
