Mumby - Twenty-Two Years In The Making or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Lexit
Twenty-Two Years In The Making or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Lexit
2010-2016: David Cameron (Conservative)
2010 (Coalition with Liberal Democrats) def. Gordon Brown (Labour), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat), Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist)
2015 (Majority) def. Ed Miliband (Labour), Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish National), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat), Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist)
2016-2017: Theresa May (Conservative)
2017 (Minority, with some support from DUP) def. Jeremy Corbyn (Labour), Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish National), Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat), Arlene Foster (Democratic Unionist)
2017-2017: Michael Heseltine, Baron Heseltine (Conservative minority, with some support from Liberal Democrats)
2017-2022: Jeremy Corbyn (Labour)
2017 (Majority) def. Michael Heseltine, Baron Heseltine (Official 'Soft Brexit' Conservative --- Soft Brexit Alliance), Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish National), Michael Gove ('Hard Brexit' Conservative --- Hard Brexit Alliance), Vince Cable (Liberal Democrat --- Soft Brexit Alliance), Arlene Foster (Democratic Unionist --- Hard Brexit Alliance)
Faintly inspired by a headline I saw where Michael Heseltine was saying 'We don't need a messy leadership election, we need a coronation'. So what happens is, Heseltine ends up wearing the crown, becoming the first Prime Minister in the Lords for, um, a bloody long time. He moulds a Cabinet composed of more Remain aligned figures and ditches the DUP for the Lib Dems, and tries for a softer Brexit than the one anticipated. The hardline Leavers in his backbenches rebel and Michael Gove leads a 'Hard Brexit' group into an alliance with the DUP (they still want a softer deal than the one Theresa May stood on earlier in the year). Heseltine loses a vote of confidence and a general election is called. With the Tories split, the Lib Dems compromised and the SNP in the midst of a leadership battle, the result is a comfortable Labour majority, due to their alternative vision of Brexit firmly planted on the left. There are little more than a dozen 'Goveist' MPs and the Lib Dems managed to just stand still in seat count.
