Okay. This may not be popular but I've been thinking....
What if there had been more caretaker administrations in the UK. The constitutional structure of the UK has led to very brief caretaker periods of government eg Brown in 2010 and Churchill after the 1945 election.
In all honesty there aren't that many POD's which can be used for this but one I can think of is this...
The Suez Crisis 1956
At the very height of the crisis Eden suffers a total mental collapse. The queen is forced into using her residual powers to select a new PM. For reasons unknown she is advised to select Rab Butler.
Butler's first act as PM is to call a ceasefire...
Any thoughts so far?
