1990-1999: Gen. Peter Inge (Non-Partisan leading Emergency Reconstruction Government backed by Military Forces)
1999-2009: Peter Mandelson (NuRe4m-Social Liberal-Workers' Coalition)
1999 def - David Owen (Democratic - Conservative/"National" SDP/"National" Labour), Nick Griffin (British Values), Paddy Ashdown (Social Liberal), Alan Clark (National), Eric Hobsbawm (Workers'), Collective (Alliance for a New British Century), Collective (Never Again - the Anti-Nuclear Party, funded by the estate of the late Stephen Fry)
2004 def - Joanne Rowling (Democratic), Paddy Ashdown (Social Liberal), James Goldsmith (National), Nick Griffin (British Values), Peter Taafe (Workers'), Peter Hitchens (Rebirth), Michael Meadowcroft (Liberal Action)
2009-2014: Charles Kennedy (Democratic-Social Liberal-Liberal Action Coalition)
2009 def - Peter Mandelson (Re4m '09), Roger Knapman (National), Peter Hitchens (Rebirth), Peter Taafe/Caroline Lucas (Workers'), David MacDonald (Social Liberal), Nick Griffin (British Values), Steve Radford (Liberal Action)
2014-20---: Nick Land (Rebirth-National-"Resurgence" Democrat-British Values Coalition)
2014 def - Caroline Lucas/Ian Duncan-Smith (Workers'), Paul Farage (National), Tim Farron (Alliance 2.0 - Social Liberal/Liberal Action), David Miliband ("Official" Reform Party), Jon Cruddas (National Re4m), Charles Kennedy (Democratic), Tommy Robinson (British Values), Peter Mandelson (P-ter '14 - the true Party for Re4m), Katie Hopkins (K-T 4 BRITAIN)
Somehow the Soviet Union collapses so horribly that there's a limited East-West nuclear exchange, in which Britain is worst hit proportionally due in part to Thatcher's belligerent response until she dies and is replaced by Owen (only selected as a compromise candidate by a parliament now just over 70 members strong). Almost every major politician is killed, and after nine years of starvation, rationing, and uatocratic military rule, the country returns to democracy. The PR voting system leads to the immediate emergence of wacky and crazy parties, whilst the dearth of serious political figures means that the early years of the new state are dominated by Mandelson as the only man with major political experience willing to rule and not tainted with the failures of the exchange. New Reform is turfed out in 2009 in favour of a centrist coalition, which then presides over total economic meltdown, and the annhialation of the British fleet after it engaged with the forces of LaPen's French National Republic in the channel. A humiliated pariah, Britain narrowly gives the "Rebirth" Party a plurality of seats and they form a two seat majority with the various willing right wing parties - but the party is far from its reactionary, nationalist, origins - the bizarre ideas of its leader Nick Land and his backwards, elitist, intentions now loom over a shattered nation...
(yes the whole thing was just an attempt to make Land PM)
