Ok, let's say that Michael Howard and the Tories do slightly better in the 2005 General Election; perhaps, as Howard later regretted not doing, they attack Blair far more for not having a better plan for Iraq after overthrowing Saddam. Their campaign is slightly smarter than in OTL, and it pays off for them, the Tories gain 45 seats, twelve more than the 33 they managed in OTL.

Thus buoyed, Michael Howard resigns as Party leader, and elections begin for a new one. But this time, David Cameron loses out (not sure what the POD would have to be for this) and David Davis becomes Leader of the Opposition, facing off against a badly mauled Blair government. Cameron gets the Shadow Home Secretary Brief, and Liam Fox becomes Shadow Chancellor. Hague remains on the backbenches.

How does AH.com reckon this would pan out?
