Yeah, Yeah, I know the poll is big but it's relevant on what the popular opinion is of a CP victory would have on France and the UK

Unfortunatly only one vote allowed.

Well, given an early CP-victory most likely (IMHO) both would stay "democratic", if you wanna call the unwritten constitutional monarchy of Britain or the carussel-like parliamentary ochlocraty of the 3rd Republique democracies.

In a late CP-victory the "peace"-conditions are very likely almost(?) as harsh on France as they were IOTL on Germany, what would IMO cause a radicalization of France, which IMO would be led by the "traditional" socialists/communists, perhaps on lines of a "national bolshevism".

As I render generally a late CP-victory more probable I've voted for selection 2
 
I picked #2 but could have easily have picked #3. I don't believe in a CP victory in less than 3 years, so huge losses and economic damage would still occur even amongst the winners.

Given France had chaos in victory, defeat would push this tendency much further and likely see some sort of totalitarianism, if only to introduce stability.

Britain would be defeated but still somewhat isolated so will not suffer in defeat as much as France and Russia so should retain its democratic institutions.
