I was thinking of doing my next thread when I have finished my Enochs National Front thread on a Socialist Britain.
I favour doing Michael Foot election win.

Would anyone be interested in this?
 
maybe, i'm wary as your current timeline is depressing and i don't want to go through a timeline that ends up just as depressing.
 
I would but I think PM Michael Foot would ASB. Even if Thatcher lost most of the Tory voters would go to the Alliance and no one really trusted Labour after the Callaghan years.
 
Other possibilities include a SDP-Liberal Alliance victory in 1983 or a Thatcher 4th term.

Funny you mention an SDP-Liberal Alliance government, that would be a great TL - I thought of doing it myself, but I don't think I'd have the knowledge or time to be able to do it justice. My POD would be no invasion of the Falklands, with the early Thatcher economic problems being given the full limelight and the lack of the "Hooray! We've beaten the Argies!" factor. It might be a little bit of a push to get the SDP-Liberal Alliance a large majority, perhaps even a few seats short in coalition with the Scottish and Welsh nationalists - of course floor crossings.

As for another term for the Milk Snatcher, that would be hideously depressing.
 
I think it'd be better if there was an invasion of the Falklands but Thatcher rather than being a politician and seeing the potential gain in a war instead remained true to her principles and decided the economically best option would be to just ignore them. Then, it comes to light just how she was responsible for the invasion....

An inside job is a bit unlikely, a non reaction is one option. I'd go for the no Falklands one myself.
