Welcome to a fantasy land from some peoples dreams and some peoples nightmares. Tony Benn pulls off a comeback win in the 1988 Labour Party leadership election, and takes Labour to a Landslide majority in 1992, with a majority of over 200. This is slowly ebbed away over the years as Tony Benn eventually ends up being the longest serving Prime Minister in the history of the country before dying at the age of 88 AIOTL. He is replaced by Dennis Skinner

This is by far the most unrealistic thing I have conjured up. Sadly, I like it.

Tony Benn is succeeded by Dennis Skinner, one of the longest serving members of the House at that point. He goes down as the shortest serving Labour Prime Minister for a generation, being decimated by a Redwood-led Conservative Party in the 2015 General Election. He is replaced as Labour Leader by Stephen Kinnock.

A longer Skinner premiership would've been awesome, but I'm guessing this is incumbency fatigue at work

What if we had LBJ in the 1980s somehow... Also before anyone asks, LBJ and Goldwater were married and they opted to serve as each other's vice president. LBJ from 1956-1964 with Goldwater serving from 1980-1988. Oh, and the Mormons snuck in a little thing in their constitution which allowed them to conglomerate into a massive Deseret. After years of court battles and several supreme court decisions which affirmed Deseret's right, eight referendums were held in the western united states,with several other states forming in the south,midwest and pacific coasts.

The Republican party suffers a major identity crisis in the mid 1980s with the startling success of the American Nazi party with it picking up 27 house seats and 1 senate seat in 1982. However with the failure down ballot in 1984, the American Nazi party is quickly extinguished by the 1986 midterms with a loss of all but 1 house seat, with the sole virginian senator losing his seat after a single term in office. The United States throws up their national socialist attitudes in favor of a new staunchly conservative ideology to replace the GOP. This comes up with the American Freedomite party, which manages to take back the House and contain 21 senate seats by the time of the 1988 elections, which are a narrow loss to Heinz in terms of the white house.

However, the rampant economic woes prompt Deseret senator Richard Bryan to run and win in a landslide against the increasingly unpopular Heinz, who turns his back on the 38 electoral votes in favor of chasing dead ends in Lee (name for north texas) and Rio Grande (name for south texas). It's unsurprising to see that Grand California (west California) and Montevideo (east California) stick by each other despite narrowly going to the national socialist back in '84.

Any Questions?

This is the start of my aforementioned timeline. During the Falklands War, Foot pleads to the Prime Minister to negotiate rather than fight Argentina. The British public do not take too kindly to this, and the worst Labour Party result since the 20s is seen in 1983. The SDP split is more violent. The Conservatives win over 500 seats; an unprecedented event. Foot immediately resigns the leadership, knowing the catastrophe he has caused. He is replaced as leader by Roy Hattersley. In this election, the Liberals make considerable gains. In what is now the 1988 Election, the Labour Party under Roy Hattersley make a recovery of seats... in the single figures. The Liberal Party once again make gains in the election, in what is their final appearance before their merger into the Lib Dems. Hattersley is replaced by Neil Kinnock. Thatcher destroys Heseltine in 1990, in a result similar to OTL's 1988 Labour Party election between Benn and Kinnock. By 1993, Thatcher is still in power, and wins another landslide majority. By this point, Labour is on about only 150 seats or so, and the Lib Dems are approaching 100. Kinnock gains only about four seats in the election, and resigns once again. The Liberal Democrats are having a massive wave of support under Paddy Ashdown, however, the swing from Labour to Liberal Democrats in each election is causing the Conservatives to easily gain majorities. Kinnock is replaced by Prescott. the 1998 Election would be the last to be contested by Thatcher before the end of her tenure. The Liberal Democrats get more votes than Labour at this point, but they still trail by a small number of seats. Labour once again recover, but now by only a single seat. Paddy does not resign the leadership in 2000 as he does in our timeline, and continues on for now. Once again, the Labour Leader resigns, to be replaced by Tony Blair. Tony Blair was the Leader of the Opposition when Margaret Thatcher announced her coming retirement from politics after an unprecedented over 20 years as Prime Minister, second to only Robert Walpole in the length of their premiership. In the ensuing leadership election, the young 39 year old William Hague wins the Leadership election to be heralded as the new Conservative Leader and Prime Minister for a new generation. Thatcher handed in her resignation to Her Majesty the Queen on New Years Day, 2000. Hague was the youngest Prime Minister since Lord North was first appointed in 1770.

Apologies for the misty detail in this post; I need to recover the exact seat totals from when I first made the timeline.
