Most Britons had believed that their country was immune to the emotional political outbursts of the Latin races, but in a context of incessant strikes and shortages, of rampant inflation uncontrolled by the supposedly conservative government of Ted Heath (which seemed more interested in bargaining away Britain's sovereignty), of nationalist violence in Northern Ireland, of the precipitous rise of Jimmy Reid's Communists in the polls, and of widespread rumours that the Leader of the Opposition himself was a Soviet agent, the military had no choice but to intervene. Brought to prominence by the fight against subversion in Ulster, the Army seemed to be the only state agency that was even slightly effective. Popular consensus pulled together to support the Generals, aided by some very diffuse policy documents leaked by over-eager Colonels - even Labour's Tony Benn found enough in the proposals to pronounce himself in favour of a 'Peruvian solution'.

With Wilson interned and Heath quite literally given his marching orders, the next Prime Minister was Jeremy Thorpe, who had supported the coup purely in service of his own ambition. Parliament was suspended (never again to meet in its pre-73 form) and most ministerial positions given to military officers - notably the new Ministry of the Interior, which used emergency powers to detain opponents of the new regime such as Enoch Powell and Roy Jenkins. Michael Foot fled into exile and set to work on Guilty Men II: The Guiltening. But Thorpe was not to enjoy his ascendancy for too long: rumours began to spread of his activities with his honour guard (whose uniforms he had designed himself) and - worst of all - his vindictive execution of the Queen's corgis upon her departure for Ottawa. Desmond Donnelly was brought in as a puppet while the real potentates drew up a Constitution.

The new order involved a bicameral parliament - the upper house consisting of the general officers of all three services (plus, after much byzantine wrangling, the RNLI) and the lower being a corporatist chamber with representation for the unions, the churches, local councils and the National Trust. The regime organised a Democratic League to nominate suitable candidates, and this party won 92% of the vote against various approved Independents. The new Cabinet was a collection of officers who were all notionally equal.

With assistance from the IMF, the Generals fixed the British economy, but downward pressure on real wages and a severe reduction in trade with the member states of the EEC meant that the tangible benefits of this wise, responsible policy were limited. More meaningfully, huge protests in New Zealand against the tour of the English rugby team raised uncomfortable questions at home, and the only possible response from the military was to invade Argentina in a patriotic defence of the Welsh-descended population of Patagonia (there was also some oil in the area). The heroism of Lt.-Col. 'H' Jones caused him to be invited home to take over the vacant premiership, but his ideas for re-democratisation were met with hostility. Ultimately, the hardliners carried out a propaganda coup (to go with their actual coup) by nominating a civilian to replace him.

The new Government broke away from American alignment in the wake of pressure from US-based human rights organisations, and entered into a Third-Worldist, Third-Positionist bloc with the likes of Libya, Italy and Iraq. It would be best not to discuss the Griffin government's domestic policies, but suffice to say, the poll tax riots ultimately pushed over the rotting carcass of the bureaucratic-authoritarian state.

Regularisation of the constitutional situation was undertaken by a provisional government headed by a man who had been exiled in Europe for a decade and a half - which is probably why he showed such favour for Proportional Representation. The old Labour Party was fortunate to have PR at the next election, as it would otherwise have been wiped out by the more radical options that had arisen during the dictatorship. On the other side, the military created a 'National Liberal Party' to campaign for amnesty towards human rights abuses, while right-wing supporters of the old constitution followed Powell and progressive elements of the Armed Forces set up their own party. The fervent hope of the British public is that we never again see the likes of the 70s and 80s.

To trace the rise of the Democratic Labour Party, the perineal red haired step child of the British Left you first must avoid the obvious moments, Baldwin’s announcement in 1939 of the Party’s establishment or the formation of the Popular Front in time for the 1936 election, instead one must go back to the death of Sidney Webb on a cold night in December 1924. Webb, one of the key founders of Fabianism and one of MacDonald’s cabinet members from the brief Labour Minority Government that had just collapsed would slip on some stairs and crack his head, with the combination of exposure and his injuries leading to his death.

Webb’s death would be mourned by many, but also lead to a ideological chasm forming throughout the party. Some Trade Unionists had seized upon the works of C.H.Douglas as possible answers to Labour’s dealings with the economic woes of Britain. Whilst MacDonald was in charge, Fabianism would be the way forward, but Webb’s death allowed pockets of Social Credit exposing Labour members to form across the nation.

The arguments around what path Labour should take would lead to a Poor Performance in 1929, with MacDonald’s attempts to stop the machinations of the emerging Kenyesian and Social Credit thought leading to a confused and contradictory message, this combined with a seemingly weak response to the 1926 General Strike had lead to the Conservative’s winning a smaller majority on a ‘Safety First/Better Conservative than Communist’ message.

Macdonald would quickly exit stage right, and the party after a semi-competitive leadership election involving Arthur Henderson and George Lansbury the PLP decided to go with the Union man over the former Mayor of Poplar. Baldwin was surprise with retaining the Premiership, as the Conservative Cabinet seemed tired and unsure what next. The Great Depression making an appearance would cause Baldwin to throw in the towel.

Austen Chamberlain was seen as the only possible leader who would keep the Reds at bay and so he would be appointed Prime Minister. Trying out the King’s suggestion of a ‘National Government’ would go nowhere, with David Lloyd-George demanding he be made Prime Minister turning up a blank and Henderson flatly refusing, in the only a tiny group of Liberals would join as National Liberals and a pair of Labour MPs would sit as Independent National’s for about a year before Austen Chamberlain decided to scrap the potential scheme and just try and secure a firm, Conservative Majority.

Eight Years of Conservative rule would be repaid with Labour’s First Majority under Henderson. Henderson’s brief tenure in office was fairly remarkable, though Keneysian was on the rise and FDR’s New Deal would be an inspiration for the new Labour Government, an obsession with Balanced Budgets would equally hang over the administration of Henderson. Henderson would die of a heart attack during the midst of an argument over devaluing with the City of London and his successor would be very different indeed.

Herbert Morrison had established himself as the firmest voice of the Fabian Labour Right, his time leading Various London Councils gave credence when he claimed to understand how to run a country. The Labour Left meanwhile mangled itself picking between Oswald Mosley and Tom Johnston, equally fiery public speakers and believers in radical action to deal with unemployment, Mosley’s hubris would eventually lead to both men failing and Morrison sailing through. Mosley’s failure would alienate his supporters who turned away from the Red Baronet and pondered who else’s would champion Radical Left Wing Monetary Reform.

For now, Morrison would run Britain unopposed, the Conservative’s would nominate Chamberlain’s younger brother and were fresh out of ideas. Meanwhile the Liberal’s increased fiscal dryness under Sinclair proved unpalatable for many. The ensuing crisis over King Edward VIII would prove the backdrop to Labour’s Second Majority as Morrison captured the need for a stable government in dark times as the British Right would see several splinter parties emerge who failed to capture the mood of Britain. But the emergence of the Popular Front would cause some in Labour concern, whilst the paltry alliance of Liberals, Socialists, Communists and mushy Progressives would collapse rather rapidly in the aftermath of the 1936 election, the decent result made some ponder that a more concentrated effort could ruin Labour’s future fortunes.

This concentrated effort would emerge with Oliver Baldwin. Baldwin had in 1932 finally been given a relatively safe seat and would be invited into Henderson’s Cabinet in the job of Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour as representative from the party’s Left alongside individuals like Nye Bevan and John Strachey. Initially a supporter of Mosley, he would rapidly switch around to supporting Johnston in 1934, seeing Mosley as a naive fool.

Within Morrison’s Cabinet, despite attempts to briefly placate him with Sectary for Agriculture and Fisheries, Baldwin would resign comparing Morrison to a jumped up dictator in his writings. Outside of the cabinet, Baldwin, who’s views on monetary reform, Anti-Fascism and Democratic Socialist ideals would find him popular amongst the Labour Left who begun to see Mosley as a clown, particularly after Mosley became the Minister of Works and Employment for Morrison in 1937.

In early 1939, after a series of Labour MPs were ousted for working with the Popular Front and the CPGB, Baldwin decided to act. The Democratic Labour Party has a successful launch, gaining the support of the ILP, numerous councillors/councils, several CLP’s and a few Trade Unions alongside it’s eleven members (which included Radical Liberal Richard Acland amongst them). The Democratic Labour Party whilst not looking like it would rule the world, did at least looked able to keep it’s Eleven MPs in the upcoming 1940 election.

Then World War 2 happened.

Democratic Labour would find themselves becoming the main constructive opposition to the War Government that Morrison would bring about in 1940, mainly to secure his own tenure ship as Mosley tried to push for ‘Peace In Our Time’ which he would later turn around when the Soviets were invaded. Baldwin would find himself the voice of ‘Forgotten Britain’ as he called it, of the Workers toiling in War efforts, Soliders fighting overseas and for there wives and children at home. Democratic Labour find itself the voice of the Beveridge Plans from 1942, calling for a Welfare State and Industrial Democracy to emerge from the rubble of the war.

Not being part of the War Government meant that Democratic Labour was able to gain MPs from by-elections across Britain throughout the War on a message of ‘And Now Socialism’ much to the annoyance of Morrison.

As the War died down, Morrison would capitalise on his reasonable popularity to win himself a third term. But Democratic Labour’s message and fears that Morrison (who was openly criticising the Beveridge Plan) would become a David Lloyd-George type when the War ended lead to Morrison being less secure than anticipated only managing to gain a majority of five as Democratic Labour surged past a lagging Liberals to become the premier third party of Britain.

Hopes of possibly Leadership Coup lead by Ernest Bevin to topple Morrison and merge Democratic Labour back into Labour would come to nothing as Morrison dispelled any attempts immediately. Morrison’s final two years would be one of increased paranoia and surround himself with compliant yes men.

The Winter of 1947 would lead to Morrison’s collapse, as Strikes spread across the country and fears of another General Strike lead to Morrison tumbling into the polls after faced with a vote of no confidence. The April 1947 election would be a bitter one, as Baldwin would find himself the target of tabloids who before had seen him as a effective nuisance realised that he could be holding the balance of power with left alone. Democratic Labour would still beat a revived Liberals, but Morrison was finished as Eden took his clothes and wore them better.

Eden would win the victory for many, reversing the unpopular Nationalisations and keeping the ones that worked, alongside his belief in ‘property owning democracy’ and Social Market Economics (even if he was kept under control by the Chancellor Oliver Lyttelton), Eden secured the peace that many wanted.

With Labour no longer in government and the Liberals more effectively conveying the message of ‘sensible Centre Left’ ideas, Democratic Labour would diminish in popularity, particularly after the election of Labour Left Winger Alfred Robens. With Oliver Baldwin bowing out in the after of 1947 election to enter the Lords and his position being taken over by the charismatic if argumentative Norman Smith it seemed for many that times were changing.

In 1951 Democratic Labour would find itself falling down to 6 seats and overtaken by Horabin’s Liberal’s. Robens would extend the olive branch and in 1953 the party would vote mostly decide to merge back into the Labour Party. Only two MPs would refuse, with Norman Smith and Emrys Hughes losing there seats to Labour candidates in the Labour victory of 1956.

The name Democratic Labour would come back into fashion as a name used to describe the Left of the party, often encapsulated by individuals like Frank Cousins, Illtyd Harrington, Dick Marsh, Anne Kerr, Eric Heffer, Margaret Beckett and Stan Newans who would become infamous for his own foray’s into forming his own ‘Democratic Left’ in the Late 70s.

But that’s a story for another time.
 
So this was going to be a ‘Oliver Baldwin as John A. Lee’ list but I took it a bit too seriously. Also yes, we get a eventual Stalinist Mosley, Moderate Skeltonist Eden, Morrison as Churchill and Stan Newans and Margaret Beckett as Left Wing Social Creditors.
 


JUNE 1940: Shortly before the Democratic National Convention, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is injured falling down a flight of stairs. The incident spells doom for Roosevelt's bid for a third term, and the former president retreats to the world of writing before his death in 1952.

JULY 1940: Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy is nominated by the Democratic National Convention. With Roosevelt and Cordell Hull declining to run at the last minute, Kennedy's wealth afforded him an advantage over his unprepared rivals.

SEPTEMBER 1940: Presidential candidates Willkie and Kennedy face off in the nation's first presidential debate. While a majority believe the eloquent Willkie won, Kennedy's anti-interventionist message has motivated certain segments of the public.

NOVEMBER 1940: The race between Kennedy and Willkie remains too close to call, with Pennslyvania serving as the tipping point state. While Kennedy leads, a recount is declared. Protests break out in opposition, with revisionist historians claiming they were orchestrated by the Bufalino family. Eventually, Kennedy's victory is certified.

President-Elect Kennedy sparks tremendous controversy after claiming "Democracy is finished in England. It may be here." Pollster George Gallup quickly sees a wave of "buyers remorse" in light of Kennedy's comments.

NOVEMBER 1942: The Democratic Party suffers tremendous losses in the 1942 midterm elections. Nineteen days later, President Kennedy is assassinated by an anti-Catholic extremist. The subsequent US entry into World War II has sparked theories from revisionist historians (theories that resonated with war-weary members of the public).

AUGUST 1943: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, son of the former president, is court marshalled after several of his compatriots are killed in a Japanese attack.

SEPTEMBER 1957: Disgraced soldier John Fitzgerald Kennedy is found dead of a drug overdose. He is mourned by former First Lady Rose Kennedy and controversial attorney Bobby Kennedy.

SEPTEMBER 1957: Disgraced soldier John Fitzgerald Kennedy is found dead of a drug overdose. He is mourned by former First Lady Rose Kennedy and controversial attorney Bobby Kennedy.

Having read about Frank Soskice, the large adult son of the Wilson Administration it seems in drove Labour off a cliff, whilst the Progressive’s and CPGB made hay out of it. Meanwhile the Conservative’s are probably due to a number supporting Cripps and others supporting the National Government leading to a bizarre split between the Old Tory’s and Skeltonite/Centre Right crew.
