AHC: Make Britain the last democracy in the western world

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to make Great Britain the last free society in the western world. You can use any POD after 1900.
 
a very rough idea would be maybe a coup in the us to drive them in a dictatorship prior to 1939, followed by an attempted expansion of the regime into canada
that takes care of north america, and denies great britain the resources that they relied on to fight in 39

europe can mostly go otl, with the nazis taking france and then picking a fight with the ussr


so, a military dictatorship in na, and a europe that's half fascist, half communist and both sides trying to take over the others turf
with gb stuck in the middle

What about late cold war WWIII with some part of GB (ok really small islands far from anywhere) being the only parts that don't get reduced to warlords by NBC nasties?

Not sure this really counts.....
 
Douglas MacArthur disobeys orders and invades Mainland China, turning the Korean War into WWIII. The US military supports him and seizes power in Washington.

The USSR retaliates and over-runs all of Continental Europe, establishing Communist governments everywhere.

Canada declares martial law and suspends its democracy, alarmed at what has happened in the US and at the global situation.

The Labor Party in Australia, egged on by the USSR, stages a Communist coup, and left wing governments do similar things in the last remaining democracies, New Zealand and Costa Rica.

The United Kingdom finds itself an island of democracy surrounded by Communist governments and military regimes.

After your chooks turn to emus and kick your dunny door down.

CPA and ALP activists had a decent relationship 1942-1946 as the CPA was yet even more so a war party than the ALP. After this period only positive relationships were in hard left blue collar unions where the CPA were effectively left social democrats and unburdened by their increasingly complex relationship with the Soviet Union.

The ALP are actually quite likely to stage a coup. Against the unions. Ask the coal miners.
 
The obvious way to get rid of Aus. democracy is to first kill it in the US and then have American influence effectively kill it here. Extremely small chance for an internal failure of democracy; Aus/NZ were far stronger democracies than any of the Europeans during the 20th century, and still beat most of them today.
