A Vital Democracy
1945-1947: Winston Churchill (National Government of Conservatives, 'Government' Labour, Liberal Nationals and Liberals)
1945 def - Clement Attlee (Labour), C.R. Smith (Anti-Vegetarian List; Common Wealth/ILP), various ('Government' Labour)
With the world shattered in the aftermath of Operation Vegetarian, the British public felt too unsure to elect a Labour government, something hardly helped by a split in the party over whether to support the National Government until the end of the Pacific War, and the rise of the allied Common Wealth and ILP in opposition to the atrocities of Operation Vegetarian. Churchill clung narrowly onto power at the head of a renewed National Government, and begins to make preparations for war with the Soviet Union alongside Harry Truman, angering much of his government, especially as funding for the promised 'Beveridge Plan' to implement a National Health Insurance Scheme is diverted towards military preparations, leading to the collapse of the scheme. When Hebert Morison is dismissed as Home Secretary for trying to divert funding to the project both the Labour and Liberal members of the government resign, and Churchill steps down, handing over to Anthony Eden who is able to command the confidence of the house despite his government not holding a majority of seats.
1947-1948: Anthony Eden (Conservative and Liberal National Minority Coalition)
Eden found himself unable to do much but back down in the face of rising tensions under pressure from the opposition, and he eventually withdrew from American preparations to rearm the Wehrmacht and strike at the Soviet Union, foiled even in the attempts of his Foreign Secretary Donal Somverell to give the Americans a vague commitment to be able to use British air bases. When the operation began in August 1947 the Western Allies fell upon the Russians in one fell swoop, atomic bombs hitting the Red Army outside Berlin and Budapest, and American and German soldiers rolling towards Moscow. Another attempt by Eden to join the conflict in January 1948 finally saw Confidence withdrawn, with the pro-Soviet Labour leader Stafford Cripps delivering an impassioned speech begging the British people not to commit 'our boys' to death in the poisoned fields of Germany and Poland and the icy wastes of Russia. Clearly his words resonated with the electorate, because Eden found himself out of Downing Street by February.
1948-1950: Stafford Cripps (Labour Minority with ILP Confidence and Supply)
1948 def - Anthony Eden (Conservative), J.B. Priestley (Common Wealth), Ernest Brown (Liberal National), Herbert Morison (British Labour-Liberal Alliance)
'Stalin's man in London', as 1948 President election victory Robert A. Taft referred to Cripps, found himself in the most precarious of positions when he assumed office in 1948. He had just been able to scrape over the line with the help of the ILP, with the both the Tories and Common Wealth hovering just above one hundred seats each and challenging Cripps every step of the way. With a significant contingent of Liberals, Morisonites and Liberal Nationals going on to form the centrist "Democratic" party midway through Cripps' term things only became more fractious in a bitter Parliament, with defections and by-elections whittling away at the government. The NHS was founded in late 1948, and by July 1949 had collapsed due to underfunding, whilst harvests remained poor due to the irradiated breeze from the East and the continued devastation of once prosperous European agricultural regions destroyed either by anthrax or atomic fire all of which contributed to a steadily declining population. Coal, steel, and rail nationalisations all went smoothly but led to les effective industries, whilst an attempt, to at land nationalisation saw most of the old gentry and aristocracy sell off her hand and head off to Taft's America with a large portion of the middle class in tow. Britain stood pre-eminent in Europe as the war in the East wound down and the Americans withdrew from 1950 to continue fighting China in Asia, but she was very much the one eyed man in the land of the blind. When Cripps tentatively refused to back a Common Wealth sponsored bill vaguely supporting "an end to all wars" in June 1950 the ILP withdrew their confidence and his government fell after just over two years.
1950-1958: J.B. Priestley (Common Wealth, Liberal and Independent Labour Coalition)
1950 def - Anthony Eden (Conservative-Liberal National), Stafford Cripps (Labour-ILP), Herbert Morison (Democratic)
1954 def - Lord Woolton (Unionist), Harold Macmillan (Democratic), Manny Shinwell (Labour)
When Common Wealth was established in 1942, few would have believed it would be in government in eight years time, yet the 1950 election saw just that; Priestley found himself at the head of a narrow plurality in the commons as Labour and the Conservatives both struggled to explain why they had allowed the world to be "destroyed", and with the support of the Liberals and ILP he was able to secure his position as Prime Minister and form a coalition government to "restore order" to the "barren world". This mainly involved the devolution of power to local areas (including 'Home Rule All Round' for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and - controversially - Cornwall and the North of England) and vast expansion of spending on state welfare as the army was cut in half and then reduced by a further 25% until it was reduced to a small "Self-Defence Force". As Europe continued to bleed itself dry in the aftermath of the atomic bombings and Anthrax attacks and the "Prussian Reich" (a Wehrmacht based state lording over a ruined Northern Poland and flooded with German aristocratic refugees from their barren homeland) continued to enslave Polish and Baltic peoples as Slavs and De Gaulle's "French State" engages in extensive colonisation east of the Rhine, Britain abandoned her former continental friends, allies, and enemies to their fate.
At home Priestley faced the insolvency of the British state as she failed to pay back her loans to an America retreating into itself, and was forced to default on Britain's debts, starting to raise money through taxation and pursue "autarkic" policies to free Britain from the "cruelty of international capitalism". Controversially Chancellor Acland began drafting former soldiers and unemployed young men into "Labour Battalions", something which nearly led to the Liberals exiting the coalition. Whilst Priestley won the 1954 General Election he once again failed to secure a majority against a reunited right, though he did pick up many voters from the ailing Labour Party, which fell to a rump of just over thirty seats. His second term saw the re-establishment of a nationalised health service system, though this was crucially devolved and left in the hands of local people rather than the vats centralised bureaucracy of the Cripps years. Food production was returning to stable levels by 1956 as British agricultural production skyrocketed (albeit at the expense of industry), and as political "dissidents" became more and more useful as agricultural labourers American magazines (which were, of course banned in Britain) began to refer to the "Return to Serfdom" (drawing on the work of the emigre Hayek). By 1957 it was clear that Common Wealth would win the next General Election, and in January 1958 Priestley, tired from eight years in power and having reshaped Britain handed over to Richard Acland.
1958-1970: Richard Acland (Common Wealth)
1958 def - Oliver Lyttleton (Unionist), Clement Davies (Liberal), John Nott (Democratic), Konni Zilliacus (ILP)
1962 def - Ralph Assheton (Unionist), Reginald Maudling (Democratic), Megan Lloyd George (Liberal), Konni Zilliacus (ILP)
1966 def - Randolph Churchill (Democratic Unionist), Megan Lloyd George (Radical), J.E. Powell ('Tory'), Michael Foot (ILP)
Richard Acland is, of course, the dominant figure of mid-20th century Britain. His election in 1958 marked the last "competitive" election in Britain until the early 1980s, with the apparatus of the state coming out heavily in favour of the Common Wealth government and allowing it to secure a majority. Following his election, Acland pursued a continuation of the isolationist autarky of the Priestley years, arresting dissidents accused of being Fascist or Communist spies and putting them to work, whilst devolving power to local "citizens assemblies" on issues from welfare to criminal justice. With the party system fragmented, Common Wealth's hold on power had become absolute, even if it was widely criticised in the international press as "yet another example of the atom-bomb and anthrax addled Anglo-Saxon mind" (indeed significant psycyogolical studies have been undertaken on the radicalism and insularity of Britain since the 1950s which has concluded that the apocalyptic conditions in Europe have generally been the cause of the arguably repressive "dynamism" of Britain's 'vital' democracy). The economy continued to trundle along nicely under Acland, with rationing maintained, the government's grip on the economy tight and conscription into agriculture still in place even as industry declines (indeed, use of automobiles for non-vital services has been illegal in Britain since 1960) whilst nature flourishes under the guiding hand of Benjamin Britten's "Fellowship" group within the Common Wealth Party which has seized control of Agricultural, Rural, and Environmental affairs, and would later inherit the government, taking many of Acland's agricultural reforms and wealth redistribution schemes to their logical conclusions...
(One day I'll write a list about Common Wealth which isn't a totalitarian nightmare, but this is not that day).
Go for it anyway! No better way to learn than through trying!
Maybe in a bit. I've just given myself a headache trying to write a list that is entirely the same party leaders as OTL but with radically different parties and results.
ooh, @Cevolian ooh, dammmm
Right, as aforementioned

Idea is all people there were a party leader at time of election, I'm not colouring in every party because I value my sanity.

When I made this, I forgot the 25th Amendment was a thing. So, thanks for reminding me. In my own view, I don’t think Wallace would be able to win the presidency or even be the unsuccessful nominee just because of his southern racist views. Also, I have added to the timeline so hopefully you will be able to realize what exactly happened.
The Land
1916-1925: David Lloyd George (National Liberal)
1918 (National Coupon with Conservatives and NDLP) def. Eamon de Valera (Sinn Fein), William Adamson (Labour), H.H. Asquith (Liberal), John Dillon (Irish Parliamentary)
1923 (National Coupon with Conservatives) def. J.R. Clynes (Labour), Eamon de Valera (Sinn Fein), Stanley Baldwin (National), H.H. Asquith (Liberal)
1925-1927: David Lloyd George (United Reform majority)
1927-1933: Austen Chamberlain (United Reform)
1928 (Majority) def. J.R. Clynes (Labour), Tudor Rees (Liberal), Esmond Harmsworth (National)
1933-1938: George Lansbury (Labour)
1933 (Majority) def. Austen Chamberlain (United Reform), Esmond Harmsworth (National), Tudor Rees (Liberal)
1938-1943: Leo Amery (United Reform)
1938 (Minority) def. George Lansbury (Labour), Oswald Mosley (National), Leslie Hore-Belisha (Liberal)
Lloyd George manages to make his merger with the Tories fly, establishing the URP. He manages to push through his proposal to nationalise agricultural land thanks to support from Labour, and sympathetic former Conservatives like Austen Chamberlain, and it passes despite some of his own National Liberals leaving the party to join Asquith's merry men. The General Strike occurs under similar but not quite as severe conditions as OTL and while Lloyd George comes to an agreement that involves nationalising the mines, his credibility is severely undermined and Chamberlain takes his place.
Chamberlain manages to continue the URP's majority, in part thanks to the amicable resolution to the General Strike, Clynes' own perceived weakness in the eyes of those who did strike and the squabbling of the remnants of the Whigs and Tories outside the URP. Chamberlain establishes Tariff Reform as his father dreamed of, and takes note of the rise of nationalist populism on the continent. The Nationals pivot toward fascism in response, seeing this as their potential niche in the world as it becomes clear the URP won't be collapsing any time soon. However, the Great Depression hits in similar circumstances to OTL and Chamberlain's popularity is soon withered away despite his interventionist attempts to mitigate the impact of the crisis.
Lansbury is popular at first as his socialist economic programme continues with nationalisation, builds a modern welfare state and establishes a public works programme to end unemployment. However, his aggressive disarmament programme soon becomes a millstone around his neck as the British people become more and more wary of the rise of fascism. The Labour Party becomes riven by internal disputes as they call for sanctions on Italy, interventions in Spain and France and a rearmament agenda for a possible renewed war with Germany. Lansbury resists removal and in 1938 his government is narrowly defeated thanks to the rise in support for the Nationals.
Amery has continued the economic policy of his predecessor essentially, establishing a central planning authority and has pursued a programme of aggressive rearmament for the seemingly inevitable conflict with the fascists.

It was in my head after our conversation the other day, I hope you dont mind (Though I did use her as Southern President in an old draft of The Republics of Britain.
I'd like to think she's a Technophile Green Tory in the vein of Zac Goldsmith, but I dont know. The PoD for there to be an Alliance victory in 1983 would have to be early 80s for no Falklands/Falklands loss. So I guess PoD for her is different university or never joins CND in Uni.
The bit I'm not happy with is Sturgeon not joining SNP, but I was running out of Party Leaders. Maybe Labour makes more concessions to appease potential SNP swing voters. Perhaps Labour keeps its commitement to nuclear disarmament and that wins her over. And Hey, Sturgeon was 10 or 11 at the PoD, so who knows.
