1990-1997: John Major (Conservative)
1992: (Majority) defeated: Neil Kinnock (Labour), Paddy Ashdown (Liberal Democrat)
1997-2015: Tony Blair (Labour)
1997: (Majority) defeated: John Major (Conservative), Paddy Ashdown (Liberal Democrat)
2001: (Majority) defeated: William Hague (Conservative), Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democrat)
2005: (Majority) defeated: Michael Howard (Conservative), Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democrat)
2010: (Coalition with the Liberal Democrats) defeated: David Cameron (Conservative), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat)
2015-: Nicholas Soames (Conservative)
2015: (Majority) defeated: Tony Blair (Labour), Natalie Bennett (Green Party of England and Wales), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat)
2020: (Majority) defeated: Natalie Bennett (Green Party of England and Wales), Chuka Umunna (Labour), Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat)

Tony Blair manages to hang on in 2007, and announces his intention to lead the Labour Party into the 2010 General Election, irritating Brown. He surprisingly manages to make Labour the largest party but 30 seats short of a majority at the election, and narrowly wins the popular vote by .1% over the Conservatives. He forms a coalition with a Liberal Democrat party closer to 90 seats than 80, giving him a strong majority that he is used to. Nick Clegg replaces John Prescott as Deputy Prime Minister, who announces, at 72, that he will resign the Deputy Leadership in time for the Labour conference in September. In June, he announces that he will continue to serve as Prime Minister until he at least breaks the record set by the first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole. In doing this, he loses Brown, who resigns as Chancellor of the Exchequer and challenges him for the leadership and fails by a 52-48 margin, and a lot of his Brownite wing are sent to the backbenches one by one. Alan Johnson, who Blair appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer after Brown's resignation, is elected Deputy Leader. By 2015, it is clear that Labour are heading for a historic defeat, and Blair leads them into this historic defeat. The most memorable moment was Tony Blair's Sedgefield declaration, where he loses his seat by over 1,000 votes to the Conservative candidate, Scott Wood. His Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, also lost his seat, but to the Conservative candidate, Ian Walker. Sheffield Hallam was, at this point, a five-way marginal. They fall to under 160 seats, and the Greens swell to over 50, while the Conservatives swell to over 400. Blair immediately resigns, as necessitated, with an acting leadership period by deputy leader Alan Johnson, also the outgoing Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then upshot MP for Streatham Chuka Umunna, the Chair of the Labour Party, succeeds him in a full time basis. Soames allows Blair into the House of Lords in the 2015 Dissolution Honours. Umunna continues the decline as more people opt for the Green Party, especially as he appoints Lord Blair to the post of Shadow Foreign Secretary, in one of the biggest political blunders in history. In the delayed 2020 election, a political realignment continued to rear its head, as while the Conservatives won a second term with a decreased, but still very substantial majority, the Green Party won the second most votes, and Natalie Bennett becomes the Leader of the Opposition. Once again, the sitting Leader of the Labour Party loses his seat, as Chuka Umunna loses his Streatham seat to the Green Party candidate, Scott Ainslie. Ian Walker, the Conservative MP who defeated Nick Clegg in the 2015 election, loses his Sheffield Hallam seat to the Green Party candidate, Natalie Thomas. Alan Johnson, who narrowly held onto his three way marginal seat, assumes the acting leadership once again before announcing his intention to relinquish the deputy leadership at the same time as a new leader is elected. The former Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Ian Murray, is elected his successor, and Jess Phillips is elected Johnson's successor as Deputy Leader. Lord Blair remained, and still remains, in the Labour Shadow Cabinet, but reshuffled to the position of International Development Secretary. The new Green Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Jeremy Corbyn, expressed his disappointment with the leadership results in an interview shortly after the results were announced. With Soames recently announcing his retirement effective late next year, his Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, and former LOTO and Tory Leader David Cameron the runaway favourite to succeed him, the Greens looking relatively likely to form the next government, and the Labour Party expected to suffer more historic losses in 2025, the backbench MP for Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath, Gordon Brown, cannot help but feel that the Labour Party would be in a much better place if Tony just fulfilled his promise.

"The Sun In The Meadow Is Summery Warm..."

This is a very good list. Most "No Reagan" AH ends up with America becoming more liberal than OTL, which I suppose is plausible, but there really isn't any depth or thought put into those AH other than "America just becomes bigger Canada". It actually makes a lot of sense that, amidst the defeat of the New Right along with the continued defeat of the Fordite centrists, that the older, more radical right-wing takes control. The old right never forgave Buckley for Buckley's campaign against them, I was on /pol/ from 2015 - 2016 and when Trump won the nomination I saw many of his supporters bragging that this was "no longer Buckley's party" and the like. Buckley was seen as the reason as to why Republicans would lose, and why Republicans were, at first, so forceful against Trump. With Reagan gone, and with nobody else in the conservative movement as charismatic and with as much name-recognition outside of political wonks the New Right would most likely just sputter around a bit before fading away to irrelevance. A shift to the right may very well still happen, though it wouldn't be as large as it was under Reagan, but it would most likely be led by right-of-center types like George H. W. Bush and the rest themselves becoming more conservative to resemble the new Republican coalition. But if those types keep losing, and losing, then eventually they'll be discredited.

You ended at Duke for a reason, and I am not complaining, but a Duke presidency would be interesting. For one thing, Duke is more radical than Trump, further, Duke has more stamina and is more intelligent than him (which is not so much as praise on Duke as it is an insult on Trump). There would be plenty of Republican establishment types who would try to mold Duke into a more moderate candidate, but Duke doesn't really seem to be the type of person to be molded easily and will most likely stick to his guns. Relations with Israel will no doubt be a key issue foreign-policy wise, and Duke may push for a more isolationist foreign policy in general, whereas his provocative rhetoric would lead to a massive blow in American race relations. I don't know if he'd be removed from office, if the Republican Party was willing to go along with an all white nationalist ticket in 2000 then by this point we can assume that there'd be enough Republicans in the Senate that would stop any removal dead in its tracks.

Overall a very good list, does away with a lot of the usual tropes to make something that is actually thought-provoking.

It's weird that the AH community can imagine a far more diverse array of alternate pasts than possible futures. In theory future history should be less constrained by plausibility because it hasn't happened yet (and if the last decade has shown anything it's that things which appear completely ridiculous at one moment can become the most plausible outcome a year later). I suppose the reason is that FH is almost entirely a reflection of the anxieties of the time and place it was created, and the AH community is so lacking in diversity that everyone's anxieties are broadly the same.

Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom

1880-1885: Lord Hartington (Liberal)
1880 def. Benjamin Disraeli (Conservative), William Shaw (Home Rule)

The death of William Gladstone in 1879 brought the Liberals in chaos; Lord Hartington, decisively associated with the Whig wing of the liberals, immediately ascended to the leadership of the Liberal Party. With the 1880 election being a period of immense backlash against Disraeli's Tories, Lord Hartington soared to power. In office, he proved far less impressive. Despite the 1880 election being taken as a vote against intervention and colonial expansion, Hartington pursued a vigorous policy of colonial expansion over places such as Egypt, even if one much less vigorous than his predecessor or successor. In Ireland, he appointed his brother its Chief Secretary, and he got passed an Irish Coercion Act while passing an extremely moderate and toothless Second Land Act which did little to satisfy Irish nationalist demands. He steadfastly refused any sort of Home Rule, even Joseph Chamberlain's idea of an indirectly-elected weak assembly. Over the franchise, he pursued legislation far more moderate than the near-universal male suffrage people like Gladstone had toyed with. Even this mild expansion of the electorate was refused by the Lords, causing a wave of anti-aristocratic sentiment. Ultimately, after much cajoling and after it got moderated further, the Third Reform Act, hardly befitting of being associated with the previous two Reform Acts, got passed. However, radicals were angry at this blatant Whig policy, which they viewed as little distinguishable to Tory policy. The death of the popular General Gordon in fighting against the Mahdi of Sudan only served to increase feelings of discontent. The badly divided Liberals ultimately faced defeat in 1885.

1885-1897: Lord Salisbury (Conservative)
1885 def. Lord Hartington (Liberal), Charles Parnell (Home Rule)
1891 def. Lord Hartington (Liberal), Charles Parnell (Home Rule)

Winning a soaring victory over Liberals, Salisbury immediately focused entirely on foreign policy. He encroached on the Boer states, he centralized colonial administration while also accepting white colonies' self rule, and he made himself known on the international stage. Above all, he expanded British holdings in Africa further. With the Liberals' continued divide, the Conservatives soared to re-election in 1891. However, in the second term, crisis grew. In the Punjab, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Duleep Singh, launched a rebellion, the Second Mutiny, in 1894 in the name of regaining his throne. In this he had the help of Irish revolutionaries and Russian administrators. But this rebellion was swiftly crushed - even if relations with Punjabis and especially Sikhs now massively deteriorated. Salisbury ramped up the Great Game with Russia, forcing it to recognize Ferghana as a buffer state between the two empires. Furthermore, Australia was federated, and under Salisbury's word it included the West and New Zealand. Yet, increasingly, Salisbury's reluctance to pursue any sort of domestic reform, as well as the newfound unity of the Liberals, led to resentment; in the 1897 election, the resurgent Liberals were swept into power, with an agenda of reform

1897-1899: Joseph Chamberlain (Liberal)
1897 def. Lord Salisbury (Conservative), Charles Parnell (Home Rule)

A radical often caricatured as a Jacobin and a would-be Jack Cade had suddenly come to power, and despite Victoria's clear and obvious disgust he was the only real choice for PM after leading the Liberals. He therefore became the first Unitarian Prime Minister. His policies were almost astonishingly radical - most controversial of all, he supported disestablishment of the Church of England. He pursued immediate legislation; the Fourth Reform Act, expanding suffrage to all male householders. He established a Central Board in Ireland elected by the county councils with partial autonomy over administration, but this mild autonomy disgusted the Home Rulers, who had fought long and hard for their desired policies now watered down into irrelevance. He empowered Health Boards across the nation, to truly ensure the safety of the British people. However, when he attempted to pass a truly radical piece of legislation, an act disestablishing the Church of England and giving all denominations equality before the law, the Queen's total and utter hatred of the policy became well-known while the Lords made it clear in no uncertain terms they would vote it down. A large segment of the Whig wing of the Liberals, the so-called Church Liberals, broke away from the party stance and voted against disestablishment. Taking this as a vote of no confidence, Joseph Chamberlain resigned, and allowed the Conservatives and Church Liberals to make a ministry.

1899-1903: Lord Salisbury (Conservative-Church Liberal coalition)

The resurgent Conservatives, now aligned with the Church Liberals, sought to maintain the "Church in Danger" and protect it from Chamberlainite interference. Thus, they passed an Act of Parliament which restrained any general interference from the state and gave most of the power to make laws for it to the Convocations of York and Canterbury. Beyond that, Salisbury looked to foreign policy games. Under him, war began with the Boer states and they were conquered. Though word of atrocities by the British forces, along with pictures, came, it did little to truly threaten Salisbury's political position. However, his death in 1903 came to a shock to most observers at the time, and his nephew Arthur Balfour took the reins of state.

1903-1905: Arthur Balfour (Conservative-Church Liberal coalition)

Lacking most of the respect from the parliamentary party that Salisbury had held, Balfour's tenure was marked with a deficiency of achievements. He completed Salisbury's wars with the Boer states, conquering all but a swathe of the Transvaal Republic. However, word came that indentured servants imported from China into South Africa were mistreated, almost to the point of slavery. And so, Joseph Chamberlain made "Chinese slavery" an issue inside and outside of Parliament. Delaying elections to their very maximum under the Septennial Act and violating convention that it should be held before, in 1905 an election was finally held. The Liberals were back in power with a sweeping majority.

1905-1911: Joseph Chamberlain (Liberal)
1905 def. Arthur Balfour (Conservative), Herbert Gladstone (Church Liberal), Charles Parnell (Home Rule)
1906 def. Arthur Balfour (Conservative), Herbert Gladstone (Church Liberal), Charles Parnell (Home Rule)

Yet, at the same time, signs were worrying. The Liberals won only one seat in Ireland in backlash to their refusal to countenance any actual autonomy, and most shockingly an Indian nationalist, Dadabhai Naoroji, was elected as an Irish Nationalist MP. Nevertheless, Chamberlain got to passing his agenda. He proposed a new bill for disestablishing the Church of England, and though this time it passed the Commons, it was vetoed by the Lords which were dominated by Tories and Church Liberals. Thus, Chamberlain now had a new election held, simply to prove that the nation wanted the policy. Though in practice Chamberlain often campaigned on other radical reforms, his open threat of a mass ennoblement led the Lords to finally allow the Disestablishment Act through. And so, with that, an old radical demand finally saw its way through. But Joseph Chamberlain wanted to go further. In 1907, the Church of Scotland too was disestablished. Furthermore, old-age pensions saw their way through, as did employers' liability for workers' accidents, and an Imperial Council with authority over some affairs of the Empire was established. However, when Chamberlain tried to get the abolition of primogeniture in favour of equal inheritance in cases in which no will was written, the Lords blocked this new law. In reaction, Chamberlain drew up a bill replacing the Lords with an elected Senate, with members elected by STV by county, and only 23 Senators were elected by the aristocracy. The Lords immediately changed tack, but it wasn't enough for Chamberlain, and in 1909, the Lords were presented with an act on their abolition. It was an act they despised, but they feared the radicalism of Chamberlain would be stoked further, and so through mass abstentions, it was let through with the assurance that it would only come into affect in the next Parliament. In 1910 Chamberlain finally drew up an Act establishing universal male suffrage and forced it through Parliament. And so, in 1911, elections were held in which both the Senate and the Commons, under universal male suffrage, would be elected. However, even as Chamberlain did this, he refused the old Radical proposal of giving Ireland Home Rule, in favour of a mild Home Rule Act which established an Irish Legislature with mild autonomy, along with legislatures in Wales, Scotland, and 11 "English regions" with the same mild autonomy, in an act written in collaboration with his young ally Winston Churchill; this was viewed as a severe betrayal not only by Irish nationalists, but also by radical Liberals who sincerely believed in justice for Ireland and opposed Chamberlainite imperialism. Furthermore, the electorate was exhausted at the constant legislation. Thus, the next election returned a strong Conservative majority.

1911-xxxx: Arthur Balfour (Conservative-Church Liberal coalition)
1911 def. Joseph Chamberlain (Liberal), Herbert Gladstone (Church Liberal), John Redmond (Home Rule), Arthur Griffith (Sinn Fein)

With Chamberlain having died in 1912, it seemed the Conservative-Church Liberal coalition is on the cusp of breaking apart. Arthur Balfour gave attention to foreign policy above all else. There was a feeling that a war in Europe was a distinct possibility, and that Britain must take some sort of side in that. However, the sudden introduction of local legislatures, many of which were controlled by local legislatures with weak power, somewhat reduced the amount of authority of Parliament in Westminster. In particular the sudden rise of the abstentionist Irish Nationalist Sinn Fein threatened British rule over Ireland. Therefore, Balfour had some deep challenges to solve in his coming term....

2021 (also Reform, Conservative and Liberal) election def. Al Franken (Democratic), Cynthia Nixon (Working Families), Donald Trump Jr. (Patriot)

Some important points:

• Johnson joins Britain Stronger in Europe, but his case for Remain is less effective than his case IOTL for Leave as he tries to hedge his bets with the right of the party as a 'Eurosceptic Remainer', and as such he doesn't have quite as much impact. Leave still wins.
• As the leading Brexiteer candidate, Gove wins the 2016 leadership election, and attempts to negotiate a 'Hard Brexit', whilst Johnson tries to become the darling of the One Nation Tories as a supporters of a 'Norway style' deal, and resigns over this in 2017. Gove's 2016 majority is too slim to pass a deal, and in 2019 he quits after repeated failures.
• Raab crashes out of the EU after winning a large majority against an incoherent pro-Leave Labour Party led by Lisa Nandy in 2019 which bleeds votes to the Liberal Democrat-Together For Europe alliance.
• Johnson steps down from parliament at the 2019 election and is appointed Editor of The Spectator's new American magazine, which is mainly just a weekly President Clinton hate letter.
• He wins the New York Mayoralty as a "cosmopolitan pro-business Republican" and expert technocrat amidst renewed scrutiny of Al Franken's past behaviour and on the coattails of President Bloomberg's successful $2.5 billion Presidential run the year before.
• NYC voters quickly realise this was a major mistake.

In all fairness I didn't really try to flesh it out at all and it was more about who was in the list rather than the timeline itself but I do think that a more promising world (for the UK at least) is possible with this POD.
