Hi all,
The UK General Election of 1964 was extremely close and resulted in the conservatives barely winning a parliamentary majority. Labour were the favourites to win however, so it's not much of a stretch to imagine Harold Wilson taking labour to victory.
My question is, what would be the result of this? The 1964 parliament saw some pretty radical legislation being passed, especially considering a tory-lead government was in power. Would labour be able to pass more? Who ends up leading the conservatives?
