How can a Labour majority victory be achieved at the 1959 general election, or at least Labour as the largest party?
It was an election that many expected Labour to win, or at least beat the Tories. But obviously, the Tories never had it so good. But how could that have been avoided? The obvious answer is a different PM succeeding Eden in '57. Rab Butler is the obvious choice here.
Hugh Gaitskell's health wasn't the best, though maybe the stress of being PM would have killed him earlier than OTL. Maybe it doesn't.
