Ok I'll have a shot

1. Attlee gains a large majority than 5 in 1950. Either the UK doesn't enter the Korean War or has send less men.
2. Eden leads the Tories back to power due to the UK becoming tired of Labour dominance
3. Macmillan was Eden's successor and became PM by "buggins turn". Brought down by a combination of Profumo and Tories seen as out of date
4. Wilson seen as dynamic leader. No devaluation in '67. Leads UK into Europe in 1969. Wins second election in '70 and retires in '74 due to onset of dementia.
5. Jenkins continues reforms of trade unions and moves into more "social democratic" centre of politics. Winter of Discontent leads to slender majority in '79. Jenkins faces leadership challenge and loses
6. Foot lasts less than a year in Downing Street. IRA attacks and rise of militancy causes Government to lose confidence vote.
7 Howe is seen as "the band-aid" PM. He opens talks with Ireland leading to Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1983 and ceasefire in 1984. Wins second majority in' 84
8. Heseltine's dynamic leadership begins to chafe with some hard-liners. 1992 election results in majority of 19 which slowly whittles away over next three years.

In 1981 following the fallout of Foot's loss. David Owen led 23 MP's out of Labour and formed the SDP. Heseltine's leadership led to 15 MP's leaving the Tories in '92 to form the Liberals. Talks between the two led to the Limehouse Declaration of 1993 where both parties stated that if either party won an election they would support each other in Parliament and create a "rotating premiership". Both Labour and Tories scoff but combination of disillusionment with old two party system combined with "spin campaign" led by SDP's Tony Blair assisted by Liberal's Peter Mandelson and ex Daily Mirror journalist Alistair Campbell" led to SDP winning largest number of seats.

Owen's tenure was seen as a "pilot" He signed up to the Euro and forced China to ensure Hong Kong's democracy

Ashdown's period was dominated by the "War On Terror". On 11th December 2000 New York, Los Angeles and Washington were hit by nuclear bombs. Al-Queda claimed responsibility. UK and US invaded Afghanistan and assassinated Bin Laden.

Kennedy took over and focused more on domestic issues. Economic woes and crime dominated his time in No 10. He died in 2010 due to cirrhosis.

Clegg was regarded as the last chance for "rotational leadership". His first tenure was fairly successful with inflation and interest rates were kept fairly low. Led "stay" campaign to victory in 2013 Euro Referendum. Economic crisis of 2017 rocked government. Disillusion with rotation led to Labour victory in 2019.

1977-1981 Bob Dylan D
1981-1985 John Glen D
1985-1992 Ronald Reagan R
1992-1996 Bob Dole R

Elvis Presley, a famous Gospel Singer turned Preacher turned politician is chosen to be the nominee in 1972 after President Nixon chooses not to run for re-election after a massive heart attack. Thanks to the need to crack the Solid South and a belief Presley can be controlled by the Republican Establishment, Presley easily beats the McCarthy/Hart ticket. Unfortunately, the newly elected President is out of depth and quickly becomes more well known for his combative personality odd personal politics, leading to a win by left-leaning Senator Bob Dylan of New York, who won a narrow victory over Jimmy Carter & Ted Kennedy, focusing on his recent conversion to Christianity, along with his Jewish roots.

Dylan, whose odd speaking style and tendency to attack his own party as he turns out to be more conservative than expected in office gets himself primaried by John Glenn, who then wins a narrow victory thanks to a third party centrist to center-right independent campaign by Dylan. Unfortunately, Glenn has his own issues in President, thanks to a sputtering economy, and Ronald Reagan, the long-time conservative icon and former Governor of California easily wins a massive landslide win in the '84 election with his VP Bob Dole.

In early 1992, Reagan announces he has symptoms of Alzhimers and steps down, and Dole use the sympathy and a good economy to easily win re-election.

1955-1963: Anthony Eden(Conservative)
1963-1965: Harold Macmillan(Conservative)
1965-1974: Harold Wilson(Labour)

Churchill stands down after the 1945 Labour landslide and Eden becomes Conservative leader. He lacks the popularity and public appeal of Churchill and Attlee's Labour Party wins a second election in 1950 albeit with a majority reduced to 30 seats.

The second Attlee term is less dramatic than the first but a slow economic improvement leads to frustration at State control and the Conservatives win a narrow victory in 1955 under Eden. The Prime Minister narrowly survives the Suez debacle but with a strong burst of prosperity from the mid 50s onwards, wins a second term in 1959.

Eden's health, however, deteriorates in the early 60s and the stress of the Cuban Missile crisis where he visits both Kennedy in Washington and Kosygin in Moscow to defuse the tensions leads to his early death in February 1963.

Harold MacMillan becomes Prime Minister and is widely expected to win a mandate in the October 1963 election but the campaign is a disaster and the Conservatives emerge as the largest party but with Wilson's Labour close behind.

The Conservative minority staggers on until a combination of by-election losses lead to a vote of No Confidence in March 1965 which brings the Conservative Government down. The ensuing election sees a Labour landslide and Wilson becomes Prime Minister.

Wilson dominates politics for a decade defeating Maudling's Conservatives in 1970 but Wilson himself tires of office and unexpectedly resigns in February 1974. The ensuing contest sees Jenkins narrowly beat Michael Foot and James Callaghan and become Prime Minister but the influence of the Left is growing and that will haunt Jenkins' tenure in Downing Street.

Jenkins wins two elections - in 1975 defeating Edward Heath and in 1979 defeating Margaret Thatcher but the Labour majority is only 15 seats. The new 1979 intake is much more to the Left and in 1980 Jenkins stands down to become UN Secretary General. Michael Foot sweeps the leadership election and starts implementing radical socialist policies including unilateral disarmament and a motion to leave NATO. This prompts former Foreign Secretary and 35 Labour MPs to break with the party and in April 1981 they support a motion of No Confidence initiated by Geoffrey Howe's Conservatives.

The 1981 election is the reverse of 1965 with Howe winning a landslide majority of 164 seats leaving Foot and Labour with less than 150 seats and the new Social Democrat Party with just 10. The scene is set for a decade and a half of Conservative rule which transforms the country but by the early 90s cracks are showing in Conservative ranks. Prompted by former leader Margaret Thatcher, a new young group of radical Atlanticist MPs seeks to break with what they call a "socialist" European Union. Michael Heseltine won with a majority of 50 seats in 1991 but the Social Democrats, in alliance with the Liberals, did well winning 70 seats. Alliance leader Owen is able to lure a dozen traditional pro-European Conservatives, led by Ken Clarke, across the floor in 1992. Chancellor John major is humiliated by the disaster of Black Wednesday when Britain is thrown out of the ERM and interest rates raised to 20%.

The economic and political shocks are profound and the Conservatives have never recovered - in 1995 the Alliance parties win a landslide and Owen, by virtue of the SDP winning eight seats more than the Liberals, becomes Prime Minister. The Conservatives end with just 35 seats. The Alliance dominates politics for the next two decades with the introduction of proportional representation in 2012 leading to the reformation of the SDP and Liberals as separate parties but they govern together comfortably in coalition.

Nothing lasts forever and the after effects of the Indo-Pakistan War of 2018 on the global economy are profound. The pictures of the nuclear devastation of New Delhi and Rawalpindi strengthen the hand of the anti-nuclear Left which benefits from a split in Liberal ranks. The June 2019 election produces a shock outcome with Nick Clegg's ruling bloc defeated by a new Coalition of Labour, Socialist, Green and Radical Liberal parties led by Jeremy Corbyn who becomes Prime Minister. Clegg retires and Layla Moran becomes Opposition leader of the Social Democratic, Liberal and Progressive Conservative bloc. Nigel Farage leads the Reform/UKIP bloc which has just 30 seats and is behind the Nationalist Front of SNP, Plaid and Ulster Parties.

Can't speak for the whole of the list but Huey Long tries to tackle Democratic bosses and move towards Socialism; he winds up icepicked by pro-Nazi Democrats and Borah finishes the term as an American Theresa May who can't do anything for fear of knocking the house of cards down; the Republicans promise centrism and get it (they were pretty Leftie up until the Southern Strategy after all).

Abraham Lincoln survived the attempt on his life, where as his vice president failed to do so. Lincoln served his second term, allowing reconstruction to go along fairly smoothly. The hand of the Federal government was heavy, but not harsh. A series of paramilitary groups cropped up in the South, but we're attacked vigorously by Lincoln.

General Grant followed Lincoln, continuing the same policies of Lincoln, such as the protection of black rights and the attempt of reintegration.

Salmon Chase expanded on these ideas, taking some votes from the northern democrats.

Samuel J Tilden was elected in the extremely close election of 1876. The Republicans relented and conceded him the victor in return for continued reconstruction in what was known as the Compromise of '77. He was assassinated during his second term by a crazed lunatic who believed he should have gotten a cabinet position.

Grover Cleveland's anti monopoly administration was widely popular, winning him and his successor Bryan two terms each.

Bryan, how ever, ended on a sour note, his silver platform bringing economic woes.
The Republicans, nominated Hughes (TR died in the SPAM War) who proved lackluster.

Wilson brought America into the first World War, but tripped and fell down the stairs at the train station before being hit by a locomotive. And the passenger car. And the flatbed car with the luggage. Thomas Marshall carried out the rest of the war (War goes OTL).

The Republicans nominated Leonard Wood, leading to a Republican dominated Roaring Twenties. Wood, a hero of the first world war, enlarged the military.

During the minor Recession of 33, John Nance Garner beats his Republican opponent Herbert Hoover. Under him though, the economy sinks further, but manages to stabilize. In Europe, France falls to a homegrown communist regime in 1934. France's fall, a major economic player in Europe, brings a great depression that touches most of the world.

Huey Long runs an idependent campaign and wins but is impeached when it's discovered that the bomb that killed the visiting fuhrer Adolf Hitler at the Watergate Hotel was planted under his orders. Borah leads the nation to war against Nazi Germany (now under Goebbels). The American Nazi War soon grows into a second World War when the United Kingdom jumps in after Chamberlain rules that Germany would have never stopped with appeasement, even if the war hadn't started in 1938. The People's republic of France is invaded on July 14th, 1940 by the Nazis.

George S Patton, drafted by republicans after it was decided that he couldn't go to Europe due to the fact that he was in a wheelchair from a Great War injury, is elected and oversees the continuation of the war. The Second World War ends with the atomic bombings of Nerumburg and Hamburg.

The Democrats win in the election of 1948 by drafting the Supreme Allied Comander in Europe. This leads to twenty years of democratic rule, only to be broken by Martin Luther King Jr.

King and his successor Rockefeller would persue a course of denté and peaceful coexistence with the PRF.

Presley took a harder line, openly supporting the anti-communist Vietcong rebels in Vietnam until France evacuated from their "Red Colony". Presley in 1981 was the first American president to visit the newly proclaimed Republic of Vietnam (which is one of America's closest allies in modern day). He covertly provided weapons and funding for independence movements in French occupied Algeria, forcing the French out of there as well. Presley would famously call on the French Primier to tear down the wall around (French controlled) South Germany in 1984 and to allow German reunification. The German Wall came down in 1988, only a few years before the collapse of the PRF in 1991.
