A BRIEF HISTORY OF POST-WAR BRITISH POLITICS:
Part V: Crisis
In the early years of Margaret Thatcher's government, a moderately popular (if radical) Prime Minister transformed herself into one of the most hated politicians of the post-war era. Whilst her opponent across the aisle, Michael Foot, had faced some threats of a split in the party, cooler heads had prevailed and Labour had stayed united, even leading Thatcher's Conservatives in a few polls. When Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1981, she hoped to capitalise on a military victory to win a huge majority, but the blunders of her government led to the loss of the islands, and a vote of no confidence (led by many Tory backbenchers angered by her capitulation, who would run as "Independent Conservatives" in the next General Election) brought her government down.
In the subsequent General Lection, Michael Foot's Labour Party returned to power with a huge majority, towering over a crippled Conservative Party and an emboldened and enlarged Liberal Party. Foot immediately began enacting radical socialist measures to reverse Thatcherism, much to the discontent of backbencers like David Owen, Shirley Williams and Bill Rodgers, who once again considered splitting from the party, whilst Deputy Prime Minister Denis Healey brooded in the Cabinet. Tragically, three months after the election, Foot died in a car crash near the Palace of Westminster - he was mourned, but the faction in the party quickly manouvered to replace him, with the divided "right" (now split between the "Deserters" who had refused to serve under Foot and the "Collaborators" who had) only bitterly selecting Healey over Owen as their candidate. The Left, meanwhile, fielded two candidates - the modern moderate Peter Shore and the divisive and radical Tony Benn. When it became clear Healey would not win to the right, they agreed to get Shore and Benn on the ballot, making the crop of young Footite MPs more likely to elect Shore who they could, at least, work with. This did not transpire, and in a disastrously botched vote, Benn and Healey got to the final ballot. Benn was duly elected leader...
The Benn premiership was loathed form the start by the right, with the Owenite Camp calling not just for the leadership to be ousted, but for the Healeyites reluctantly working with Benn from the Deputy PM's office to be removed as well. This toxic atmosphere within the government led to Owen entering talks with new, centrist, Conservative leader Michael Heseltine about his supporters leaving the government en masses and entering into an electoral alliance with the Conservatives and Liberals. These talks never got anywhere, but Benn's ncreasingly radical socialist measures (including his attempts to implement "Industrial Democracy" in almost all British factories) only further alienated the right. When, in October 1986, Benn propose dboth withdrawal from NATO and total nuclear disarmament, Owen delivered an impassioned and fiery speech about the failures of the leadership, and then, glaring at the Prime Minister the whole way, crossed the floor to sit near to David Steel. Initially he was met with mockery, until half a dozen supporters crossed the floor with him. Soon this crisis exploded, and with all of the Owenites (some 43 MPs) defecting, Tony Benn resigned as PM...
From there things only got worse.
With the Labour Party in chaos, only one faction remained with the tight organisation and support in the party to seize power. Militant. Acting quickly by threatening, cajoling, and bribing MPs into supporting Derek Hatton, they were able to win the support of a majority of Labour MPs (quietly brushing Benn's planned Electoral College under the rug now they had control over the PLP). The far-left Trotskyist entryists had, more through circumstance and luck than any brilliance on their part, gained control of both the Labour Party and the country, delivered to them by the man their leadership had once called "Kerensky". Quickly things started to go wrong - Hatton was a flashy, sleazy, radical PM, advocating excessive spending, wage caps, a total severance of Anglo-American and Anglo-European relations, and the creation of an "Autarkic" siege economy. Hatton alienated the general public almost immediately, with massive tax increases for all but those earning the very least. When, in December 1985, Hatton attempted to override the House of Lords and pass the "House of Lords (Abolition) Act", the remaining "moderate" MPs in his party bolted - by January 1986 the government had fallen.
After the 1986 General Lection Heseltine's Conservatives could have formed a coalition with the Liberals alone, but he instead formed a National Government with the help of the Democratic Labour Party, the Liberals, and Labour's moderates. In the face of a rump "militant" Labour Party and a National Front which had gained seats thanks to vote splitting, the idea of national unity and cross-party cooperation helped to foster a spirit of order, and to return Britain to normal. Dealing with the economic problems caused by Hatton and Benn's policies, Heseltine was able to blunt the effects of the crash. In 1988, with the situation far more stable, and NATO membership regained, Heseltine called a General Lection, now entering into coalition with the Liberals. With a moderate, patrician, One Nation Conservative at the helm, and a Labour Party (or rather Democratic Labour Party) run by mild Social Democrats many saw Britain as having returned to the political stability and bi-partisanship of the much lauded Age of Affluence (see Part II).

Feelin' Alright (barebones but deal w/it)
1992 - 1998: Neil Kinnock (Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition) - Stormed to victory following the unexpected exit of Sterling from the ERM. Tried handling the ensuing crises, such as Rwanda and Bosnia, with care but troubles at home came to the forefront. The Northern Irish situation became calmer, with the election of Ken Manginess as UUP leader signalling a pivot to the centre for the party, and Foreign Secretary Tony Blair proved able to get the leaders around the table, but no formal agreement was signed. The minimum wage was set at 4.21 as recommended by the Low Pay commission, and devolution was granted to the home regions. Kinnock secured a second term of coalition as Michael Howard failed to convince the nation that he was 'ready and waiting'. He left Number 10 in 1998, feeling exhausted. He handed power over to his uneager Home Secretary.
1998 - 2001: Harriet Harman (Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition) - Took over after tackling crime as Home Secretary. Continued initiatives to hire more police and to make the courts system fairer. Initiated some controversial welfare reforms in 2000 that led Health Secretary Michael Meacher to retire to the backbenches. Spearheaded successful intervention in the unstable region of Iraq in 1998, ousting the Hussein regime.
2001 - 2007: Angela Browning (Conservative) - Led the Conservatives back to victory after nine years in the cold. Furthered cuts to welfare while trying to 'ease the squeeze' on business by cutting tax on non-doms. To the surprise of many, completed the NI Peace Process with the signing of the Ash Wednesday Accords. Iain Duncan Smith, NI Secretary at the time, shocked observers with his deal-making but became a hero to many in years to come. Financial troubles within the Ducatzone made Browning happy that Kinnock and Harman hadn't took Britain in with the rest. Retired in 2007 after the limited re-legislation of fox hunting, which led Roger Gale to take the Chiltern Hundreds and stand on a 'Conservative for Animal Welfare' ticket, which he promptly won.
2007 - 2009: Shaun Woodward (Conservative) - Long suffering rising star of the one nation faction, Woodward took over in quick succession. Reversed some of Browning's more daring policies, but couldn't reverse the Conservative position in the polls as Labour's youthful Scot won a workable majority.
2009 - 20XX: Douglas Alexander (Labour) - Considered the architect of Labour's revitalization in Scotland, Alexander won the leadership and the country with ease.

While at Harvard Law School in the 1960s, Bob meets Richard Nixon and relates to his politics, so joins the republican party and finds more success in the republican party than OTL

Butterflies are your friends. Why do you hate them so?

1972: Richard M. Nixon (GOP-CA)/John Connally (GOP-TX) [A1]
def. Hubert Humphrey (DEM-MN)/Terry Sanford (DEM-NC)
def. John Connally (GOP-TX)/Donald Rumsfeld (GOP-IL), Lowell Weicker (MOD-CT)/Larry Pressler (MOD-SD)
1980: George H.W. Bush (GOP-TX)/Daniel Evans (GOP-WA) [A4]
def. Henry M. Jackson (DEM-WA)/John Glenn (DEM-OH)
1984: George H.W. Bush (GOP-TX)/Daniel Evans (GOP-WA) [A5]
def. Edward M. Kennedy (DEM-MA)/George S. McGovern (DEM-SD)
[A1] Nixon boots Agnew from the ticket and replaces him with Treasury Secretary Connally.
[A2] Watergate goes more-or-less as OTL. As OTL, Connally is forced to pick Ford as VP.
[A3] Scoop Jackson defeats Connally as a result of several factors - a scandal about milk prices and a split in the Republican ranks just two of them.
[A4] However, a lackluster economy and a nuclear war scare help elect Senator Bush to the Presidency.
[A5] In a narrow fight, Bush is re-elected over Ted Kennedy, in a quiet election dominated by the generally calm economic and geopolitical situation.
1968: Hubert Humphrey (DEM-MN)/Edmund Muskie (DEM-ME) [B1]
def. Nelson Rockefeller (GOP-NY)/Wally Hickel (GOP-AK)
1972: Hubert Humphrey (DEM-MN)/Edmund Muskie (DEM-ME) [B2]

def. Wally Hickel (GOP-AK)/John Anderson (GOP-IL)
1984: Wally Hickel (GOP-AK)/Robert Ray (GOP-IA) [B5]
def. Edward M. Kennedy (DEM-MA)/Tom Bradley (DEM-CA)
[B1]: In a narrow election, Hubert Humphrey defeats Nelson Rockefeller for the Presidency.
[B2]: The popular Humphrey, fresh off the successful end of the War in Vietnam, defeats the more hawkish and extreme John Tower.
[B3]: Former Alaska Governor Wally Hickel manages to defeat the Democratic ticket on the back of voter fatigue and good debate performance.
[B4]: A number of international crises, particularly a confrontation between Taiwan and China, derail the Hickel administration enough to elect Edward Kennedy President.
[B5]: However, international crises continue during the Kennedy administration, and an economic downturn coupled with a public censure by Airey Neave's government conspire to elect Wally Hickel to another term.
1968: Nelson Rockefeller (GOP-NY)/Claude R. Kirk (GOP-FL) [C1]
def. Hubert Humphrey (DEM-MN)/Wilbur Mills (DEM-AR), George Wallace (NPC-AL)/Ezra Taft Benson (NPC-UT)

1976: Lloyd Bentsen (DEM-TX)/Sargent Shriver (DEM-MD) [C3]
def. Spiro Agnew (GOP-MD)/Frank Borman (GOP-IN)
1980: Lloyd Bentsen (DEM-TX)/Sargent Shriver (DEM-MD) [C4]
def. Daniel Evans (GOP-WA)/John Heinz (GOP-PA)
1984: Gerald Ford (GOP-MI)/Bill Clements (GOP-TX) [C5]
def. Alan Cranston (DEM-CA)/Wilson Goode (DEM-PA)
[C1]: George Wallace's non-partisan run siphons away Southern votes for Humphrey, electing New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to the Presidency.
[C2]: Rockefeller's popular moderation and a scandal involving the Democratic nominee for Vice President grant him a second term, despite his controversial booting of colorful Vice President Claude Kirk.
[C3]: Spiro Agnew's nomination turns the Republicans' race to lose into a race the Republicans actually lose, although Lloyd Bentsen's charisma likely helps.
[C4]: Economic growth carries the day in a very narrow election in which the incumbent President wins despite the legacy of the disastrous intervention in East Germany.
[C5]: Longtime Representative Gerald Ford defeated Democratic Senator Alan Cranston, largely due to Cranston's involvement in the Savings & Loan Crisis.
I'm trying to decide which of these backstories to use for a TL I might be doing soon. One way or another, I would need to have a moderate GOP by 1988.
EDIT: Fine, I changed the color scheme.

1984: George H.W. Bush (GOP-TX)/Daniel Evans (GOP-WA) [A5]
def. Edward M. Kennedy (DEM-MA)/George S. McGovern (DEM-SD)
[A1] Nixon boots Agnew from the ticket and replaces him with Treasury Secretary Connally.
[A2] Watergate goes more-or-less as OTL. As OTL, Connally is forced to pick Ford as VP.
[A3] Scoop Jackson defeats Connally as a result of several factors - a scandal about milk prices and a split in the Republican ranks just two of them.
[A4] However, a lackluster economy and a nuclear war scare help elect Senator Bush to the Presidency.
[A5] In a narrow fight, Bush is re-elected over Ted Kennedy, in a quiet election dominated by the generally calm economic and geopolitical situation.

def. Edward M. Kennedy (DEM-MA)/Tom Bradley (DEM-CA)
[B1]: In a narrow election, Hubert Humphrey defeats Nelson Rockefeller for the Presidency.
[B2]: The popular Humphrey, fresh off the successful end of the War in Vietnam, defeats the more hawkish and extreme John Tower.
[B3]: Former Alaska Governor Wally Hickel manages to defeat the Democratic ticket on the back of voter fatigue and good debate performance.
[B4]: A number of international crises, particularly a confrontation between Taiwan and China, derail the Hickel administration enough to elect Edward Kennedy President.
[B5]: However, international crises continue during the Kennedy administration, and an economic downturn coupled with a public censure by Airey Neave's government conspire to elect Wally Hickel to another term.
1968: Nelson Rockefeller (GOP-NY)/Claude R. Kirk (GOP-FL) [C1]

1984: Gerald Ford (GOP-MI)/Bill Clements (GOP-TX) [C5]
def. Alan Cranston (DEM-CA)/Wilson Goode (DEM-PA)
[C1]: George Wallace's non-partisan run siphons away Southern votes for Humphrey, electing New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to the Presidency.
[C2]: Rockefeller's popular moderation and a scandal involving the Democratic nominee for Vice President grant him a second term, despite his controversial booting of colorful Vice President Claude Kirk.
[C3]: Spiro Agnew's nomination turns the Republicans' race to lose into a race the Republicans actually lose, although Lloyd Bentsen's charisma likely helps.
[C4]: Economic growth carries the day in a very narrow election in which the incumbent President wins despite the legacy of the disastrous intervention in East Germany.
[C5]: Longtime Representative Gerald Ford defeated Democratic Senator Alan Cranston, largely due to Cranston's involvement in the Savings & Loan Crisis.
I'm trying to decide which of these backstories to use for a TL I might be doing soon. One way or another, I would need to have a moderate GOP by 1988.
EDIT: Fine, I changed the color scheme.

Well, the colors are arbitrary, and if the networks decide they like the Green/Red contrast, who knows?
