My very rough calculations have the election at this moment:
Liberal - 32 (net loss of 8 seats)
Conservative - 53 (net gain of 16 seats)
Socialist Labour - 25 (net gain of 4 seats)
Ulster Unionist - 2
I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere in these figures.
The discrepancy in the net losses...
I wonder what effect the Socialist Labour Party's woes will have on the election. Voters who are undecided may lean towards John Profumo and the Conservatives rather than a nine-year government with a leader-less potential coalition partner.
Profumo and Lyttleton were the runners-up last time the Tories had a leadership contest. My tip is either of those two, unless Eden can pull a rabbit out of a hat.
George H.W. Bush, Senator from Texas and Deputy President Pro Tempore, succeeds his son on September 11 2001 after the death of the president, vice president and most of Congress.
This timeline is truly the gold standard for persistence, given it started nearly nine years ago. I could barely get a timeline beyond nine posts and now mostly lurk....hats off to you!
A quick and weird question: is there an equivalent of the Statute of Westminster 1931 in this timeline...
