Oswald Mosley (Centre-led National Front) 1931-1934
1931 [coal.]: def. A. V. Alexander (Co-operative), Leo Amery (Liberal), Walter Runciman (Modern), Winston Churchill (Conservative), Emmett Dalton (Justice for Ireland), John Hargreave (Atlantean Alliance)
1932: Reformation of the House of Lords as the "Executive Committee", appointment of business, military and a few trade union figures to it.
1933: Imperial Federation proposal passes Commons and Committee, but rejected by Australia, NZ and South Africa.
1934: Attempted repeal of Representation of the People (Ireland) Act, sudden disappearance of Mosley. Ironside announces Eden will take over.
Anthony Eden ('National' Conservative-led National Front, then British National majority) 1934-1937
1934: Constitutional Act passes, funnelling more power to Executive Committee.
1935: Merger of Centre, Liberals, Moderns, 'National' Conservatives and Atlanteans into British National Party. Justice for Ireland expelled.
1936 [maj.]: def. Clement Attlee and Ben Tillett (Conservative and Co-operative), Emmett Dalton (Justice for Ireland) [expelled]
1937: General Fuller receives a 'vision' of the future from Hadit of What Will Come To Be, and encouraged by Crowley and Hargreave, makes play for power. Eden, paranoid ever since Mosley was 'disappeared', resigns at once. The King feels forced to call upon Fuller to take over.
J. F. C. Fuller (British National majority) 1937-1941
1937: Preparations for the 'Great Work' continues as the armed forces continue to remilitarise, much to France's concern. Fuller appoints more men [and some women] from the Atlanteans to the Executive Committee, strengthening the political influence of esotericism.
1939: 'Great Work' begins with sudden invasion of France by air. Second Global War begins in Europe. France falls in winter of 1939-40.
1940: Alliance forged with Dimitrije Stojaković's Austro-Slavia and other sympathetic countries as the 'Eternal Pact'. Invasion of Germany starts.
1941: Fuller becomes convinced Ironside is plotting against him, and moves against him. Internal coup removes him, places Baldwin in.
Stanley Baldwin (British National majority) 1941
1941: Alexander Raven Thomson proposes 'New European Order', which Baldwin's cabinet votes for, over PM's discomfort. 'NEO' leads to formation of the 'Kingdom of France' and other puppet states of Britain, all supposedly united under 'European nationalism'. Austro-Slavia also joins it. Later that year, 'Operation Unthinkable' is proposed and in a war fervour is backed. Britain declares war on the United States. Baldwin resigns.
Edmund Ironside (British National majority) 1941-1946
1941: The man who made three [arguably four] Prime Ministers finally is handed power himself as the first Prime Minister from the Executive Committee [even Fuller had a seat in the Commons]. NEO and Unthinkable continues, but he tightens control over cabinet and seeks to expand the Eternal Pact. Brazil under its freshly-independent revolutionary junta is brought in. Plinio Salgado shakes hands with Ironside, a deal well made.
1942: Invasion of Russia by Austro-Slavia gives Ironside a headache, but as per NEO and Eternal Pact, he declares war, just before the election. He also appoints Harold Macmillan to 'manage' the development of Ireland under the supervision of Viceroy Don Bennett.
1942 [maj.]: def. Independents [all other parties 'suspended' for duration of the war]
1943: Battle of the Atlantic rages on. Ironside floats Emergency Act dissolving Commons 'for the time duration', handing over all power to the Committee and Prime Minister. The King, suspicious of Ironside's ambition, declines to work with him and cabinet proves unwilling no matter what.
1944: The war in the east starts to crack despite the troops seeing Moscow. Attempts at a negotiated peace between Russia and Austro-Slavia falls apart and Ironside comes away with a deep disdain of his Austrian allies. Meanwhile, Brazil sees the war come to its home front.
1945: The Eternal Pact increasingly isn't so eternal, as Brazil collapses and Russia marches westwards. Pushed on by Raven Thomson, Ironside announces the first meeting of the 'European Council', tightening control over Britain's 'allies' in the name of Europeanism. This... doesn't help much.
1946: Germany has fallen. Stojaković is hanged. The Russians are on the Rhine. The Americans are reported to have made landfall on Ireland. The King calls on his Prime Minister to have a meeting with him. The outcome is certain.
John Tolkien (Independent) 1946
1946: Ireland has fallen, and the demands of the Americans [backed up by the Russians] is unconditional surrender. The King, now enjoying unlimited power for the first time in his life after removing the now disgraced Ironside, refuses. His Prime Minister - a broadly-loyal university professor who is mostly there to fill a position - tries to make secret negotiations, but fails to get anything, much to his dismay. The King declares that Britain "will fight, and Britain will be right". Two artificial suns on Manchester and Glasgow later, Tolkien successfully votes through the Cabinet's acceptance of the American demand in the aftermath, and orders someone to lock the King in his bedroom.
The new aeon of Britain has finally concluded with unimaginable horrors.
