POD -- the Marine Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967 prohibiting pirate radio is not passed. The result is that young voters are not soured against Labour sufficiently to win the 1970 General Election for the Conservatives.

How would a Labour victory have affected subsequent British political history. I suspect that the Tories would return to power in the mid-'70s due to the effects of the oil crisis, but would it be under Heath, or under Thatcher? Perhaps the latter if the Conservatives feel they need a less "establishment" leader to win -- what would be the consequences of earlier Thatcherism?
