Hi all,
The 1970 UK General Election produced a surprise win for the Conservatives under Edward Heath, over the encumbent labour government, lead by Harrold Wilson.

My question is, what would have happened had Wilson decided that instead of fighting another election (as he did in OTL), he decides to resign?

Who succeeds Wilson as labour leader? How does this affect the next 4 years? Do labour still come out on top in the election of 74? Finally, how do things pan out after the 1974 election, assuming the butterflies don't make Heath call it earlier or later than he did in OTL?
