As we know, Gladstone only converted to Home Rule late in 1885. He decided to introduce the First Home Rule Bill, leading to downfall of his government and subsequently defeat in 1886 general election, plus Liberal split.
But what if he never converted, at least during that period, and so no 1885 First Home Rule Bill and maybe no 1886 General Election. What would be the medium- to long-term consequences?
