Someone on the Other Place suggested the idea of the Greens benefitting from a Tory collapse, so here we are.

At this point I think the Greens benefiting is more likely than the LibDems, considering polls have them still getting squeezed despite the Tories being on fire. So that works pretty well.

I wonder which wing of the Greens would gain in that situation. Would they recuperate all the NIMBY energy in the UK? Be a horridly divided big tent because they also gather people who think Labour isn't left wing enough? There's a lot to play with.

It would be a mess, considering who's in charge of Labour and the lack of a major left splinter like Momentum.

I could imagine the LibDems getting taking the left-wingers (i.e. left-libertarian types) but that's limited thanks to their agreement with the Tories.

Well, I'm going off of the polls not indicating any recovery for the LibDems. If the Tories collapsing is not enough to make people consider them again, what will?

I think the left wingers are more likely to go to the greens if they ever leave. Though as I've said many times on SLP I'm not sure they really can until the unions do so. Maybe that's what needs to be developed to chart the post Starmer wave future? He's been consistent about refusing to commit support to unions and they've been getting more active and more popular to support with the cost of living crisis. It's no longer unpopular sector strikes people hate for inconveniencing them, it's now sympathetic workers striking for demands people also share. Ignore the has been on the Labour Left, just decide where the unions go and you'll know how to write the left.

I imagine the unions might stick with Starmer because the Greens are flooded with environmentalist Tories. So the Greens are just one big grab-pack of centrists, leftists, and old-school Tories, only binded together because they want to come down hard on climate change.

But also want to be the worst kind of NIMBY so they can't even build a solar panel or wind turbine, I expect?
 
Sanders gets elected after running a strong campaign as the only really popular and well liked candidate in 24' , but struggles dealing with Congress and the Supreme Court, only really making advances thru Federal Executive Action and extraparliamentary action, utilizing support from organized labor and social movements to achieve a few major legislative victories on the state level. While legal weed and some green infrastructure manages to get thru a divided Senate/House, most of Bernie's lasting personal victories come in his objectively solid foreign policy program. However, after a year of Bernie struggling to succeed in passing any major transformative domestic policy on the Federal level, some neo-Nazi dipshit decides to turn him into a martyr for American Social Democracy, making Sanders' much more moderate running mate the LBJ to Bernie's John Kennedy. She is then subsequently succeeded by a moderate to liberal Republican who promises to keep much of the successes of the previous Administrations.

This is very loosely based on a @allthepresidentsmen bit

1982-1989: George Younger (Conservative)
1982 (Majority) def. John Silkin (Labour), Jeremy Thorpe (Liberal), Bill Rodgers (Democratic), Douglas Henderson (Scottish National), Roy Bradford (Ulster Unionist), John Hume (Social Democratic Labour)
1986 (Majority) def. Denzil Davies (Labour), Alan Beith (Liberal), Roy Bradford (Ulster Unionist), Ian Paisley (Democratic Unionist), John Hume (Social Democratic Labour)

George Younger represented the new ‘modern’ Conservative Party, no longer willing to sit idly as they reheated Butskellism for another generation. Whilst Barber had briefly symbolised the shift in the Mid 70s, Younger encapsulated it.

Younger fought to win No10 on crushing strikes, curbing inflation and balancing the budget and won. Whilst the Liberalisation of the Economy after the Silkin years was a tough prospect, and indeed, the burden of this change was felt by the less well off in society, the rebounded would lead to a flush of credit and consumerism not seen since the high tides of Macmillan. But it wasn’t the Supply Side push that certain segments of the party, particularly those who had supported Du Cann for his two years as Leader, wanted.

Indeed, after a series of race riots in Early 1982 (a continuation of similar events that occurred in 1981) and a series of reports on nutritional effects reducing benefits for single mums and there children had in later part of that year, Younger would kindly move Howe away from the Chancellor’s office and place Timothy Raison in his stead. Raison’s brand of Balanced Budget stability would dictate the Younger years. Alongside this came the raise of ‘inner city business zones’ in an attempt to see a raise of individual enterprise and business within cities, though results varied and often became prominently filled with chains and corporations. Additionally several nationalised industries like BT would find themselves privatised over coming tenure of Younger.


Socially, whilst Younger Government oversaw a Conservative backlash towards the permissive Seventies, Younger himself stayed aloof from it all. As the AIDS crisis started to spiral in 1985, Younger would call a crisis meeting and oversee the opening of several more clinics and a public health awareness scheme to deal with the problems at hand, though attempts at education bill to target perceived ‘Teaching of Homosexuality’ would pass though with a few elements revised. Additionally Younger’s Government would see itself being forced several times to deal with race and every time decides to not actively deal with it, as race riots would blight much of his Premiership.

For many though, Younger is remembered for his support of Policing, which was used to crash down on the wildcat strikes of dockers and miners that occurred in the early 80s and Military Escapades like supporting the UN missions to Syria and North Yemen invasion of South Yemen.

In his second term, Younger’s Government slowed down a fair bit, having competed in a rather dull election against at times erratic Denzil Davies who sparred more with his party than the Prime Minister and Alan Beith who after the highs of Thorpe years, kept the Liberals in a limbo of lacklustre. Younger, would oversee in the last couple years of his Premiership the Industrial Democracy Act and the Social Contract, attempts to at least have Government, Business and the Trade Unions working on the same page. Alongside that, Younger would work with

All in all, Younger provided a sense of stability after the turmoil of the Early Seventies and the radical reformism of the Silkin years. But that stability was ultimately built on sand.

1989-1991: John Wakeham (Conservative Majority)

John Wakeham didn’t provide anything new, elected on a platform that primarily aimed towards the the Right Wing of the Conservative, as soon as he got into office, but would come into snags over fulfilling the wishes of his electorate and the general public.

One of the problems that Younger had avoided was the Exchange Rate Mechanism, as Wakeham with his new Chancellor, Geoffrey Rippon both agreed that for Wakeham’s policies of tax cuts alongside spending in certain places, a sense of stability offered by the system seemed palatable for keeping investors and foreign banks happy with British policies.

As Wakeham joined in Early 1990, it seemed for a solid minute that things may turn out okay. Whilst the Warsaw Pact was slowly crumbling (though the Ryzkhov’s Soviet Union would stick around as an awkward pariah state for the rest of the decade), the European Community was becoming one of the big blocs of trade, commerce and laws under Commissioner Craxi.

However fears of the ERM being the first step towards European Domination of British affairs permeated. Whilst Labour had managed to keep much of the Eurosceptic force within the party, for the Conservative’s and Liberals this was a different matter. Coming back from his Mexican Retreat and allying with old friends like Jim Slater and John Aspinall decided to set about funding a new party. Allying with Alan Sked’s Anti-Federalist league, the Citizens Movement was a hodge podge of different politicians and groups united by Euroscepticism. The sudden appearance of this new party, put off an snap elections occurring. Wakeham decided that showcasing how British people have become better off by economically integrating with there neighbours in Europe.

Whilst Wakeham wasn’t concerned too much by the party, the collapse of Italian Lira within the mechanism in Winter of 1991 would send shockwaves around Mechanism. Britain would be hit in the coming months, only saved by a money exchange laws that meant foreign banks couldn’t aggressively target a weak pound on currency markets. Whilst Britain wasn’t hit as bad as Italy (who would rapidly see the Alliance of the Left take over from the Forza Italia coalition as the country went into recession), Britain would enter recession. The Citizens Movement made much of this and used it as an attack tool against the Wakeham Government.

As the Middle Classes started to feel the pinch of the policies of Younger and Wakeham when an election finally occurred in the Autumn of 1991, it was fairly obvious who was

1991-1996: John Prescott (Labour)
1991 (Majority) def. John Wakeham (Conservative), Liz Lynne (Liberal), James Goldsmith (Citizens), Ken Maginnis (Ulster Unionist), John Hume (Social Democratic Labour)

John Prescott; a beleaguered Left Wing hero of the Working Classes, or a despicable human who set back the Labour Left after finally reached it’s time in the sun? The answer is somewhere in between.

Following Denzil Davies’s abrupt alcohol induced resignation in 1988, it seemed there was much pondering on the Labour Left over who would be there champion. Whilst Ken Coates and the Socialist Action Group tried to make a pitch, it rapidly became apparent that it was either to be Neil Kinnock, Golden Boy of the Silkin Cabinet or John Prescott, the Trade Union Champion. Whilst the Labour Right decided to plump for Ken Woolmer, the Left eventually organised around Prescott after a speech he did in support of striking dock workers and castigating the upcoming Younger Industrial Democracy acts. It was very much pondered that Prescott would lose but ever the underdog, he whipped up a Populist fury that drove him into becoming Labour leader.

Indeed, Prescott Populistic Touch, often compared to similar world leaders like Dick Gephardt, Jean-Pierre Chevènement and (insert figure here) who combined Leftist Ideals and Populist language to topple seemingly apathetic Right Wing Governments.

Prescott governance was predicated on keeping his support with the Left, reducing involvement in European Community, disbanding Trident and reducing British Nuclear Arsenal would be some of his bigger aspects. Increased devolution for North of England and Wales was at the time controversial, in time would prove to be popular.

But Prescott would rapidly end up disagreeing with Bryan Gould and his plans for economic recovery. Whilst a National Investment Bank and the ‘Industrial Cooperativism’ act as an attempt to make industry more Democratic, Prescott disagreed with Gould on his more radical aspects. Indeed, Gould’s proposal for creating a German style system of Industrial Democracy would lead to Trade Union anger and see Gould replaced by less controversial Jack Straw soon after.

As Prescott stayed in office, his initial populist charm wore off. His relationship with women and accusations of unsavoury acts would swirl around him, not helped by Prescott’s personal reactions to such talk.

For many though the moment that encapsulated Prescott, was accusations he had punched a Cabinet Minister. Whilst this was quickly hushed up and the supposed Minister, Dr Jack Cunningham denies it to this day, the sense that Prescott wasn’t a great leader for Labour or the Country mounted.

Possible leadership coups lead by Gould, Livingstone or Straw were all mentioned as possibilities but in the end, they would dissipate as rapidly as they appeared. Instead the country would do the job for them after a economic downturn aused by the collapse of the Japanese Yen and the Quebec Crisis.

1996-2001: Peter Lilley (Conservative)
1996 (Majority) def. John Prescott (Labour), Liz Lynne (Liberal), Margaret Ewing (Scottish National), Alan Sked (Citizens), Ken Maginnis (Ulster Unionist), Alasdair McDonnell (Social Democratic Labour)

Peter Lilley was never expected to be leader. Having slowly climbed up the ranks to become Defence Secretary in the last days of Wakeham’s Government, Lilley was always seen as the favourite of the Right. For many the assumption was fairly moderate minister Steven Norris would gain the leadership but Lilley’s combination of Right Wing Economics and Strong Anti-Communism (helped by Ryzkhov’s support for Yugoslavia in it’s war) allowed him to cruise to victory.

Able to easily bat aside the chaotic Prescott re-election campaign, Lilley would ride a wave of Conservative backlash to Prescott’s tenure. Helped by a revival of the SNP in the same period and Lilley gained his majority.

But Lilley’s proposals were to rapidly meet a wall of reality. Proposed Tax Cuts and a goodie bag of Libertarian Economic reforms were pushed but the economy refused to sluggishly budge from it’s recession. Indeed it made matters worse as Lilley’s reforms compound growing class divides (which Prescott had tried to fix but was hampered by his own chaotic nature and the economy failing to improve much).

Additionally, Lilley’s Anti-Communist antics, supporting Bosnian and Croatian forces in former Yugoslavia seemed admirable till NATO and Soviet forces engaged in a firefight in Early 97’ that nearly brought the world to the brink of war. Whilst this was avoided (the Soviet Union in no state to fight) the death of British troops put a sour taste in many people’s mouths.

Lilley’s Tough on Crime aspects, whilst popular didn’t endear him to the inner cities where his callous attitude made him seem like he supported the police ‘accidentally’ killing people in custody. Several protest movements would form over this and the images of peaceful protestors being beaten by riot police made even Middle England feel a bit squeamish.

In the end, Lilley’s perceived aloofness would do him in. When a disaster, government policy cock up or general problem occurred, Lilley was always quick to ignore it and move on, no matter the magnitude of the event. Indeed as Benefits for Single Mothers were cut (a move that Former Chancellor, Timothy Riason called ‘callous and cruel’) Lilley jokingly referenced Gilbert and Sullivan. Even the Sun, commented about the seemingly mocking behaviour of the ‘joke’.

In the end, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1999 whilst encapsulating everything Lilley believed, lead to an economic downfall in the Spring that Britain was unable to recover from.

2001-: Pauline Green (Labour)
2001 (Majority) def. Peter Lilley (Conservative), Don Foster (Liberal), Margaret Ewing (Scottish National), Ken Maginnis (Ulster Unionist), Alasdair McDonnell (Social Democratic Labour)

Pauline Green, having become an MP in the despondent Davies years was always someone who didn’t fit neatly in a box but was well liked by the party, a Europhile, but with certain Left Wing views on Economics (indeed Pauline Green would be incredibly friendly with Bryan Gould when she was Secretary for Industry) and strong believer in the power of Cooperatives.

When Prescott resigned, many agreed that it would be best for a Female Moderniser to take over, but whilst Mo Mowlam was a bit too odd and Margaret Beckett a bit too austere for the party’s liking, Green who seemed to present a utopian vision of Social Democracy within Europe (informed by the ideals of Craxi) that allowed her to become the second Youngest Labour Party Leader in the history of the Party.

Pauline Green easily ran circles around Lilley, especially on crime, as former police officer she denounced Lilley’s harsh anti-crime tactics as ‘backwards and unnecessary’ and would also discuss ways of making police more fair and transparent after a series of corruption scandals would be linked to the Metropolitan police force.

With a message that directly appealed to the aspiration working and middle classes, Green has decided to actually get Britain to at least discuss it’s place in Europe, especially as President Wilson takes an increasingly blind eye to matters outside of the US borders…

Green for many represents the future of Labour and Socialism in Britain…though mutterings that scandals are brewing seem to permeate at the moment over Green leadership.

Knowing me it'll involve the Tories collapsing and the Lib Dems shifting right again which I've done in 2? 3 lists? Except this time it doesnt involve electoral reform because LIKE FUCK are Labour going for electoral reform if they score a redonkulous number of seats in this scenario
 
Is it possible for a PM to be so popular he or she just calls elections almost every year to keep increasing majorities and bankrupt the opposition party? Going to have to think on that.

I was thinking PoD is Monday. Kwarteng doesn't u turn on the tax rate. Tories split . 2023 election

Splinter eventually joins the Lib Dems. Which admittedly I'd already done with the megaChUK the Progressive Party. But that was more anti Corbyn

Even better,have the splinters happen after the election and only mentioned in passing without any of them winning seats.

Also have the rump no seats Conservatives do an alliance with Labour’s Rachel Reeves out of despair.
