So on the literal first page of the introduction to David Laws' memoirs Coalition, entitled Exit Poll, Laws mentions that on the day before the polling day of the 2010 General Election, Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg was flying home from John O' Groats to Sheffield in a Light Aircraft after a long day of campaigning in the highlands with his press secretary James McGrory. Clegg was anxious about this flight, as the plane would be going through a storm, and although he was reassured of his safety, he didn't feel safe, and consequently unlike McGrory, was awake for the whole flight. In our world, Clegg landed safely in Sheffield, went to bed with Miriam, and the next day won 57 seats in the GE and led the Lib Dems into the first Coalition Government since the war (if we don't count the Conservative-National Liberal Coalition's of the 50s), before having his reputation as Saint Nick dashed on the rocks on issues such as student loans and for capitulating to the Tories on far too much for too little gain.
But what if the plane had gone down in the storm and Clegg, McGrory, and the pilot had been killed?
