The broad background is. May hangs on a little longer, meaning the Tories slip in the polls for a while longer. Boris Johnson takes a harder line on the Conservative Rebels, leading to a more concrete and broader United to Remain ticket between the Lib Dems, the rebels, PC and the Greens. Boris' campaign goes worse with him dodging a lot of criticism and souring public opinion on him. Its more a concept than some hard AH but by the end of it while he wins a plurality he's miles off a majority and a pro-second referendum government forms for in theory six months. Then the pandemic happens.
I'm really not sure on those two national government PMs and Id love to hear opinions.
Other people that came to mind are
Philip Hammond
Keir Starmer
Claire Wright
Someone random like Liz Saville-Roberts.
Another Labour Moderate perhaps.
