I've been inspired by some previous posts, and so I'd like to begin this one to find some fresh ideas. Basically, how can we make Bertrand Russell enter into a succesful political career and eventualy gain the premiership, or at least a high ranking office? What butterflies would this likely create? ;)

Russell stood as Labour candidate for Chelsea in the general elections of 1922 and 1923, receiving 4,513 votes [25.1%] and 5,047 votes [27.5%] respectively.

However as Earl Russell his elder brother Frank was a junior minister in Ramsay MacDonald's government from June 1929 until his death on 3 March 1931, when Bertrand succeeded to the title.

A possible scenario is that he becomes Labour leader in the House of Lords in the 1930s. Churchill appoints him a junior minister in his wartime coalition, and Attlee makes him a cabinet minister in his governments.
