1934-1937: George Curzon (National-Reform-"Right" Progressive-Unionist Grand Coalition with NWM Confidence and Supply)
1937 Election (Results Ignored): (Democratic Labour-CPGB-Socialist Labour-Social Progressive Coalition) Def: Oswald Mosley (NWM), Stafford Cripps (Democratic Labour), George Curzon (National), Harry Pollit (CPGB), James Maxton (Socialist Labour), Thomas Inskip (Reform), Disputed (Unionist), [various "Social Progressives"], Christopher Addison ("Official" Progressive), [various "Right Progressives"]
Prime Minister of the British State (1937-Present) ;
1937-19---: Oswald Mosley (National Workers' Movement)
Another attempt at combining the trends in a couple of nation's politics and applying them to Britain - in this case it's the "losers" of the First World War (and Italy). What happens is that the USA never joins, leading to a pyhrric Central Powers victory as British casualties mount and a revolution overthrows Lloyd-George. A brief provisional government tries to hold things together in the transition to a republic, but is overthrown by Communist partisans. The army eventually mutinies and returns home when the revolutionary government tries to take Britain back to war to help the Spartacists in Germany and Haig overthrows Adamson and his revolutionaries. The monarchy is restored, but the monarch never actually returns home form Canada, wary of how things are shaping up in Britain. A weak regency period ensues, dominated by a mixture of soft Social Democrats and "Reformist" former Conservatives (the Progressives having rendered to the history books by Benn's total failure to stop the socialists).
War in Ireland topples the first MacDonald government, and then we have eight relatively harmonious years under a centre right Government which utterly collapses (killing Reform) over the occupation of Jersey by Germany after Britain failed to make reparation payments. Democrtaic Labour returns, only to be toppled over differences on how to handle a general strike. With Democrtaic Labour increasingly radicalised, the right wing of the Progresisves break away to avoid allowing another revolution, but Curzon's rightist coalition loses the next election - with the thread of a radicalised coalition led by Stafford Cripps, former left wing journalist and MP Oswald Mosley and his supporters to the Lord Regent and offers to form a government and crackdown on dissent with his working class right wing movement, or allow the socialists in. So begins an uneasy period under far-right corporatism...
