Hugh Gaitskell was a leader of the right-wing in the Labour Party during the 1959 general election. Although Labour was expected to win a majority in Parliament, they were divided over economic issues, and were thus defeated by the Conservatives.
Inspired by an idea in the "Timeline with the Most Potential" thread, what if Gaitskell had kept the Labour Party and its conservative and liberal factions united, and had defeated the Conservatives in 1959 as expected? What can we expect of Prime Minister Gaitskell? Would he support the Vietnam War if he served that long (which is likely), and what would his foreign policy look like?
The idea intrigues me, and I was hoping to get more info on this.
