I thought I had given the campaign and results of this year's election.

How would the Tories have fared with her as leader in 2010? What would the party look like with her as leader instead of Cameron? Would Labour hold on to more seats even though Gordon Brown admittedly wasn't a spectacular campaigner either? Or would she manage to not screw things up monumentally like OTL and do better than Cameron?

Or would it be the Lib Dems who do better? Talking about the Lib Dems, given May's absence from the debates this year (different situation though, with her in government with sky high approvals) perhaps there wouldn't even be any debates ITTL with her as leader, meaning that Cleggmania doesn't even have the time to get off the ground before fizzling out

Also, if she had stood in the 2005 leadership election, would she actually have had a good shot at winning, and if not under which circumstances could she have become leader?

It's a thought that's been bugging me for a few days, though given that I'm an observer of UK politics from abroad with relatively limited knowledge I haven't been able to come to much of a conclusion.
