The Conservatives lost not only Government but their double figure number of MP's lose official opposition. Not that opposition really matters any more, Blair can now use parliament as a rubber stamp and little more if he so chooses. In the decade or so to come Britain becomes a one party democracy which the Brownite's being seen as more of an opposition than the Conservatives or Liberal Democrats.
Impossible.
That pretty much happened in OTL. I for one remain convinced Blair deliberately played up the Blair/Brown division in order to make the media focus on that court intrigue and act as though the only possible choices for PM were Blair or Brown, ignoring the opposition parties.In the decade or so to come Britain becomes a one party democracy which the Brownite's being seen as more of an opposition than the Conservatives or Liberal Democrats.
