Hey everyone,
Here's another British political Wi for you guys. In OTL, Churchill resigned as leader of the Conservative party after his defeat at the hands of Labour, under Clem Atlee.
Now what if Churchill decided to remain? First of all, is this even possible, given his party had lost so heavily?
Secondly, as Leader Of The Opposition, is he generally supportive of Atlee's reforms, or does he fight tooth and nale against all of them?
With Churchill at the helm, is the conservative victory in 1950 greater or less than it was under Eaden in reality? Do the conservatives even win that election, or could we actually see Labour returned (either in a Hung Parliament, or with a reduced majority)?
Assuming Winny becomes PM again around 1950, how long does he last? Is Eaden his successor in the end anyway?
Finally, we all know Churchill for his leadership of the War-time coalition, but what's he like as a Peacetime Prime Minister of an all Tory government?
