List of U.K. Prime Ministers 1945-2020

[Kaiser Alex]

I'm actually surprised the empires still going and it's 2004. Surely the wars of independence have materialised by now.

[Mumby]

It was implied later on that a the EA became a lot tighter under one of the Labour governments. I should think that is what the UK has withdrawn from rather than a complete disassociation from Europe.

[1] After Winston Churchill's famous "Defense of the Empire" speech in mid 1945, the working classes rallied around the popular concept of imperialism for the benefit of the lower orders. This aids a Conservative landslide of a majority of 210 seats. Atlee resigns. Bevan assumes control of Labour.
[2] India starts to have far more frequent rebellions against British imperialism. Over in Europe, an "European Association" is set up by France, West Germany, Britain and Italy. Churchill's charisma was the deciding factor in Britain's participation. This EA is not the EU, nor the EEC. It is a regional gathering of nations that has peace as its highest aim. (Churchill supported an looser EU-analogue in OTL. The EA's structure would be perfect for him to push Britain in joining)
[3] Churchill resigns in 1952 as one of the greatest Prime Minister's Britain had ever known after the Indian Insurgency is defeated by British secret services' plan of forcing divisions between the Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshi's and other groups against one another. Anthony Eden presides over a strong economy as an attempted coup by Egyptian generals is defeated but the King is toppled after one too many anti-British comments for their liking, a 'democracy' is set in place instead.
[4] Anthony Eden is toppled in a conservative coup from within the party after secret comments are revealed that he made in talks with the Aga Khan. "Independence should come within 15 years - it's inevitable." Lord Mountbatten announces a renewed support for the values of British Imperial Power in his election speech, winning a lowed majority. Anti British movements begin to form in the Empire universally.
[5] The 1961 election, though expected to end in a Conservative victory results in a Hung Parliament in which the Tories hold a plurality. Lord Mountbatten sends Chancellor Macmillan to negotiate with the Oliver Smedley-led Liberals and they soon reach an amicable coalition deal, whereby proportional representation is introduced in several urban areas. Smedley is appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Jo Grimond is appointed Foreign Secretary.
[6] In 1964, an outbreak of major urban riots across the United Kingdom shook the confidence of Mountbatten's government. After the crisis was dealt with badly - particuarly with the fear of Irish and Imperial independence-driven terrorism - public opinion turned rapidly against the Conservatives. The Liberals quickly ditched Smedley and Mountbatten shortly before the election, allowing them to campaign on a further left-wing bias. Labour proposed major social reform with a state health and education system high on the priority list, and after the Tories managed to retain a (worryingly) significant number of seats, Soskice was forced to approach the Liberals to aid their government. Another coalition began, and Labour returned to government after considerable hiatus.
[7]After the first socialist government since 1931 took power, conservatives all around the nation rose up to block any change that could possibly be thought of. Fear mongering and scare tactics by the Conservative party put the British public into a state of national fear, with strikes and mass parliament walkouts becoming common place. The radical leader of the Conservatives Enoch Powell won a 35 seat majority in the election of 1970, with the previous 4 year term having achieved literally nothing due to block votes in both houses. The economy was stagnant and the country exhausted.
[8] Enoch's government, whilst arguably well-intentioned, was highly controversial. It strongly quelled with northern strikes which resulted in three weeks of almost uninterrupted power shortages and great civil unrest. It ruthlessly dealt with Iceland in the Cod Wars - sinking boats and creating a major international incident with the United States. With Irish terrorism on the rise after the 1969 split of the IRA, many Irish rights were being restricted. In the 1975 election - despite marred by IRA bombings at polls and a low turnout - Labour saw a landslide. Fred Peart formed a government, but requested support from the Liberal Party and the newly formed Irish 'Stable Home' Party (Baile Cobhsaí).
[9]After revelations about Peart's coalition partners links with the IRA, the grouping collapses and a now aging Mountbatten who split with Powell over the Empire (Powell argued for decolonization to fund huge industry programs), the elderly Lord is back leading a wafer thin minority government. With war debts from India against the rebels piling up, the only positive thing for this government is that the African Independence movements have largely been quelled... for now.
[10] Mountbatten retires before the next election due to ailing health and he is replaced with the relatively young Geoffrey Stewart-Smith, who sets about reorganising and rebranding the party in order to take the fight to Labour. Despite predictions that Labour would win, the Conservatives are able to just pull off a victory. However, The election of the Left-Wing, Anti-Imperialist Howard Zinn to the presidency of the United States (which, until now, had by and large supported British Imperialism as a means of stopping Communism), the increase in IRA terrorism and economic woes mean that Stewart-Smith will most likely have a tough term ahead of him.
[11] With the collaspe of the Soviet Union in early 1980, and the subsequent economic crash that followed, the Conservatives were doomed. Dennis Skinner's powerful Labour Party won with a hammering landslide, and promptly brought Britain into the New European Economic Community under the Schengen Agreement, started significant social and welfare reforms, and was influential in the reformation of Germany after the collaspe of Communism. The government also managed to curb unemployment by large workers' schemes, and consequently Britain's economic future began to brighten. Skinner also garnered much popularity by beginning negotiations with the IRA to end the conflict in Ireland, as well as in India.
[12] On November 18th 1988, Skinner is assassinated by an extreme 'Pakistani' nationalist while visiting New Delhi for negotiations with Indian Leaders about the extension of Self Government within the Raj, only months before the upcoming election. His replacement, William Rodgers, engineers a union of the Labour and the more left-wing faction of the Liberals into the Social Democrats in order to both deal with the expected right-wing reaction at the polls and to distance themselves from some of the late Skinners more controversial policies. However, with Britain, the Dominions and the rest of the Empire's economy still steadily improving the New Social Democrats are able to achieve victory.
[13] The turn to the right came from the United Kingdom Independence Party led by Alan Sked. Disaffected with the return to recession as a result of decline within Europe, Rodger's government rapidly slipped out of popularity and in the election was badly beaten -Britain's political scene was changing dramatically, much like what was happening in other European countries.
[14] Sked takes the UK out of the EA (although maintaining friendly relations with the remaining members) and attempts to return Britain and the Empire to Splendid Isolation of the 19th century. A series of free market reforms also help to revitalise the British Economy and as a result, the now harried Conservatives join in a coalition with UKIP at the next election in which the new coalition wins with a fairly solid majority.
[15] After Sked retired due to ill health, the UKIP's star Richard Horsnell took his place at the party's helm, and comfortably won the election to cement the party's government for another term. However, with the outbreak of the Second Russian Civil War and the avian flu epidemic threatening to cross the Channel, the government looked unsteady.
[16] Horsnell proved less capable of running the aging empire in a crisis, and with a resurgence of violent radicalism across the world due to the Scarletist victory in Russia, the long oppressed African colonies begin ripping themselves away. By the end of term, only British East Africa stays in the Empire, due to the Anglo-Arab aristocracy which has little interest in seeing the black majority take their reigns. One of the few positives for UKIP is that Anglo-Indian relations reach a new height as the Raj agrees to commit troops to save a few key imperial areas in Africa in return for an elevated status within the Empire. Unfortunately for the new Conservative government, it is pretty clear that this is a timebomb waiting to happen, as not only are the Dominions unhappy about India jumping the queue of power, but it is clear that India's economic and demographic clout will soon make the British Empire an Indian Empire.

Bit of a Ninja problem going on here, can we clarify whether Hornsnell is elected in 2004 rather than 1994 and who posted first on that date?

[18] Tyndall's government took power against a wave of anti-Indian sentiment amongst the British populace, and attempted to moderate Britain's actions internationally. With UKIP established as Britain's leading party for the centre and right, it seemed that their stranglehold on politics would continue. However, tensions within the Party and abroad would fatally threaten Tyndall's regime...

Labour proposed major social reform with a state health and education system high on the priority list, and after the Tories managed to retain a (worryingly) significant number of seats, Soskice was forced to approach the Liberals to aid their government. Another coalition began, and Labour returned to government after considerable hiatus.
[7]After the first socialist government since 1931 took power, conservatives all around the nation rose up to block any change that could possibly be thought of. Fear mongering and scare tactics by the Conservative party put the British public into a state of national fear, with strikes and mass parliament walkouts becoming common place. The radical leader of the Conservatives Enoch Powell won a 35 seat majority in the election of 1970, with the previous 4 year term having achieved literally nothing due to block votes in both houses. The economy was stagnant and the country exhausted.
[8] Enoch's government, whilst arguably well-intentioned, was highly controversial. It strongly quelled with northern strikes which resulted in three weeks of almost uninterrupted power shortages and great civil unrest. It ruthlessly dealt with Iceland in the Cod Wars - sinking boats and creating a major international incident with the United States. With Irish terrorism on the rise after the 1969 split of the IRA, many Irish rights were being restricted. In the 1975 election - despite marred by IRA bombings at polls and a low turnout - Labour saw a landslide. Fred Peart formed a government, but requested support from the Liberal Party and the newly formed Irish 'Stable Home' Party (Baile Cobhsaí).
[9]After revelations about Peart's coalition partners links with the IRA, the grouping collapses and a now aging Mountbatten who split with Powell over the Empire (Powell argued for decolonization to fund huge industry programs), the elderly Lord is back leading a wafer thin minority government. With war debts from India against the rebels piling up, the only positive thing for this government is that the African Independence movements have largely been quelled... for now.
[10] Mountbatten retires before the next election due to ailing health and he is replaced with the relatively young Geoffrey Stewart-Smith, who sets about reorganising and rebranding the party in order to take the fight to Labour. Despite predictions that Labour would win, the Conservatives are able to just pull off a victory. However, The election of the Left-Wing, Anti-Imperialist Howard Zinn to the presidency of the United States (which, until now, had by and large supported British Imperialism as a means of stopping Communism), the increase in IRA terrorism and economic woes mean that Stewart-Smith will most likely have a tough term ahead of him.
[11] With the collaspe of the Soviet Union in early 1980, and the subsequent economic crash that followed, the Conservatives were doomed. Dennis Skinner's powerful Labour Party won with a hammering landslide, and promptly brought Britain into the New European Economic Community under the Schengen Agreement, started significant social and welfare reforms, and was influential in the reformation of Germany after the collaspe of Communism. The government also managed to curb unemployment by large workers' schemes, and consequently Britain's economic future began to brighten. Skinner also garnered much popularity by beginning negotiations with the IRA to end the conflict in Ireland, as well as in India.
[12] On November 18th 1988, Skinner is assassinated by an extreme 'Pakistani' nationalist while visiting New Delhi for negotiations with Indian Leaders about the extension of Self Government within the Raj, only months before the upcoming election. His replacement, William Rodgers, engineers a union of the Labour and the more left-wing faction of the Liberals into the Social Democrats in order to both deal with the expected right-wing reaction at the polls and to distance themselves from some of the late Skinners more controversial policies. However, with Britain, the Dominions and the rest of the Empire's economy still steadily improving the New Social Democrats are able to achieve victory.
[13] The turn to the right came from the United Kingdom Independence Party led by Alan Sked. Disaffected with the return to recession as a result of decline within Europe, Rodger's government rapidly slipped out of popularity and in the election was badly beaten -Britain's political scene was changing dramatically, much like what was happening in other European countries.
[14] Sked takes the UK out of the EA (although maintaining friendly relations with the remaining members) and attempts to return Britain and the Empire to Splendid Isolation of the 19th century. A series of free market reforms also help to revitalise the British Economy and as a result, the now harried Conservatives join in a coalition with UKIP at the next election in which the new coalition wins with a fairly solid majority.
[15] After Sked retired due to ill health, the UKIP's star Richard Horsnell took his place at the party's helm, and comfortably won the election to cement the party's government for another term. However, with the outbreak of the Second Russian Civil War and the avian flu epidemic threatening to cross the Channel, the government looked unsteady.
[16] The Hornsell government collapsed only a year after its inception due to a scandal revolving around the Prime Minister's commercial dealings in the Empire. The late great Winston Churchill's grandson, who became leader of the Conservative Party in 1998 was going to be just as dramatic as his grandfather. In a deal in 2007 with the Indian congress leader Manmohan Singh, India was given free elections and powers to make its own budget and defence policy in exchange for control over its foreign affairs for a further 10 years, and Indian support in quelling the revolutions in Africa. By late 2009, Britain's African Empire was back in safe hands, bar Egypt whose government of military officers remained an ally to Britain but not a colony.
[17] Tyndall's government took power against a wave of anti-Indian sentiment amongst the British populace, and attempted to moderate Britain's actions internationally. With UKIP established as Britain's leading party for the centre and right, it seemed that their stranglehold on politics would continue. However, tensions within the Party and abroad would fatally threaten Tyndall's regime...
[18] As the Indian Raj expanded its influence within the Empire at the expense of the British, UKIP looked less and less capable of holding the entity together. In this climate, the erratic and vociferous Oldfield took the reigns of power, by attracting wealthy investors with his more 'respectable' background. Oldfield promised to usher in a new era for the Empire, to give the nation and its dependencies a new purpose. With that he inaugurated the British Imperial Space Agency, for the whole empire.

Seems a good place to stop with that one.
I do wonder what the fate of the Empire would be in such a scenario.
I'm thinking it won't be good...

A Radically Different 'Khaki' Election
(After a lost Boer War)

1900: Henry Campbell-Bannerman (Liberal) [1]

[1] After the successful continuation of independence for the Boer Republics triggered the collaspe of Salisbury's government, the Liberals (easily the second largest party) could happily capitalize off their weakness. Campbell-Bannerman won the election with a landslide, although it is important to note the significance in the votes garnered to the socialist left - note only to the (relatively) dominant Labour Representation Committee (LRC) but also to smaller groups such as the Independant Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and Engineers and the Independant Amalgamated Society of Merchant Seamen

[KaiserAlex]

Yeah, very interesting.

[2] Blaming the loss of the Boer war on weak minded liberals that had inflitrated Gasgoine Cecil's government, Chief of the Armed staff Frederick Roberts ousted the government in Britain's first ever military coup. With tacit support from her majesty, the liberal premier Bannerman was placed under house arrest and the country was placed on lockdown. Roberts "Government of Stability" was mainly made up of aging aristocrats and the Victorian Hero Cecil Rhodes' influence kept the public supportive.

[4] Considering French opposition to the Boer War, Roberts' aides waged a smear campaign against the French which proves wildly popular with the masses. Once more pandering to his aristocratic allies, the House of Lords is reformed to take in aristocrats from across the whole empire. Each 'Dominion' Commons attends domestic affairs while the Lords oversees the whole Empire

Disaffection with the incompetence of the war within the last two years, the pacifistic Amalgamated Labour Convention was a popular - particuarly with its promises of widespread and radical social and economic reform. Of the two left-wing parties that had developed during the past ten years, the Convention was more radical than the Committee, but both gained significant support in the election, which saw Nicoll Barnes propelled to power. He formed the first left-wing government in British history, and was unvengefully supported by his fellow trade unionists in the Committee. The Liberals were forced to support them - even though they fundamentally disagreed with their ideology. Furthermore, the Irish jumped into the fray, with the home of finalizing Irish home rule for once and for all.

Thanks.

Just to reiterate a point just in case it didn't come through. There is only one House of Lords for the whole Empire. Each dominion or kingdom has their own Commons. In the white dominions, Lords have been made from notable businessmen and military high rankers as well as British aristocrats' 'spares'. In the non-white colonies local loyal chiefs and nobles have been rewarded with a place.

Hmmmm.
I must have misinterpreted.
I don't think my post is tremendously realistic in that case.

Change at will!

As I encouraged...
I'll bring them back later.


How did the war start?
It's a bit late and my brain's not working at slickly as it should. Why is Britain getting all jingoistic and takin' aut the Ottomans?

British agents uncovered the Armenian genocide.
