Essentially, the Liberal wartime government passes the recommendations of the Speaker's Conference of 1916-17 and agree to the adoption of STV for general elections in the United Kingdom, which had been used in Ireland and in the university constituencies previously. However the amendment to the Representation of the People Act was not passed until 1920, with STV eventually winning through. As a result, the first election to be held under the new system would be 1922, which would bring a new force into power...

Note: Since 1920 is when this act is passed in this world, and as in OTL is the same year of the extremely bloody civil war in Ireland, the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland will continue to go their seperate ways.
