British Political What Ifs

That's a pretty bizarre one :D
Was Blunkett in the running?
David had many friends with the Labour Party. But just think .... a visually impaired man whose guide dog had been 'attacked' and it is England - he would have hated to get elected on a 'sympathy' vote, but in a nation of animal lovers, oddly plausible.

Don't underestimate him, he did reach as high as Home Secretary in OTL.
 
Enoch Powell was a classical scholar: became a professor of classics at the University of Sydney the age of 25 and knew over 10 languages, including Hebrew, Ancient Greek, Latin and Urdu. That's despite his Verwoerdian racial views. As a MP he represented white working-class (WWC) voters and was a diehard Unionist. While completely loony on foreign policy, he was an early Euroskeptic and along with Thorneycroft founded neoliberalism in the Tory Party nearly two decades before Thatcher became Tory leader.
Oh, I know that. I meant... uh, OK not sure what else I meant :eek:.

I'd be very interested in a TL with Blunkett as PM. In the backstory for Moonstruck (which became paleofuture AH the day after I wrote it, because 9/11 annoyingly intervened :rolleyes: ) he led Britain through the Third World War as PM.
