Britain had a very, very bad experience in the Great War. From losing a generation of fighting men to the mud of Flanders, to essentially collapsing the credibility of their most enthusiastic ally Teddy Roosevelt with financial shenanigans, to King George's ignominious death from being thrown from his horse, to finally seeing the bulk of their army encircled in a last ditch defence of Paris, it was a universal shitshow.

The result was years of close-to and then outright military government (in the two decades between 1910 and 1929, only one election was held and that was considered something of a farce). The solidification of a new governmental establishment that didn't like testing it's mettle on the electoral battlefield was matched by a rapid radicalisation on the streets as a haggard gang of soldiers returned from a Europe now shaped in the Kaiser's image, to delve into the works of Marx, Kropotkin and DeLeon. The 1922 election was decried as ILP candidates were turned away from hustings under legislation that carried forward DORA components into peacetime. Similarly, Sinn Fein candidates found it impossible to campaign as the streets were flooded with 'Black and Tan' paramilitaries to hold down the island.

The irony of the bloody effort to keep Ireland within the United Kingdom is that within a few short years, that would be all the United Kingdom consisted of. The British Revolution thrived as much of the military which could have put it down were at that time in Ireland. By 1925, a weary Edward Carson spiritually kissed the hands of his younger royal namesake, as the ragged Emergency Government re-coalesced in the halls of the Royal College of Science in Dublin.

King Edward himself spent less and less time in his supposed primary title, and more in Canada - far from syndicalist revolutionaries or Fenian terror bombs - and in it's southern neighbour. Roosevelt's defeat in 1916 had seen the United States briefly flip sides in the Great War, but Hearst won few concessions from the British Empire. Hearst himself had presided over an increasingly authoritarian state as his government failed to resolve the economic crisis that had begun in 1914, that only deepened when he unilaterally halted sales of munitions to the Entente. While Stimson promised a return to normalcy, he was impeached after the British Revolution. King Edward soon became fast friends with the new President Wood. A new economic boom has begun as British aristocracy has begun moving it's wealth back across the pond. More importantly the security of the Empire has been bolstered by the new alliance with Wood's regime. Wood has presided over a policy of Preparedness, to confront the German and Japanese Empires in either the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Ireland has become the eastern flank of the United States military, thousands of doughboys making the Emerald Isle safe for the Wettins and their chosen administrators.

Such an alliance has been deepened by the King's marriage to a member of America's own aristocracy and the final collapse of vestiges of real opposition to the Nationalists as a former Hearst Man, Joe Kennedy has accepted the Vice Presidency alongside Wood's acolyte MacNider. This of course has seen some loosening in Ireland proper to satisfy the Irish-Americans lately brought into the governing coalition in the United States. But like America itself, the opposition in the reformed UK Parliament is a token, quiet, 'patriotic' one.

It is important to recognise that the collapse of the Conservatives was inevitable. When Blair made it acceptable for suburban businessmen to vote Labour, he broke the last taboo around the party. Cameron and Johnson might have briefly stolen working-class social conservatives, but their base was hollow and rotting under them. Could any other party have risen to the status of opposition? It is doubtful. The Greens were always too enthralled by the middle-class-granola-eating-uni-student set, a fault-line around which they eventually split. The Liberal Democrats collaborated with Cameron, but even their right-wing was still more fond of capital than culture, and they never quite made themselves isolated from Labour. The SNP, beloved by the chattering classes, were an outside bet, but even Alba was at the time geographically limited and pariahs thanks to the smears on their leader.

So in the end, the only thing that could defeat Labour was itself.

Unlike with the dissolution of the Liberals, both parts of the Conservative Party that abandoned it moved under the same umbrella. The affluent suburbanites and City professionals were swayed by the ideals of "tolerance" and "progress", while the disaffected urbanites and Northern doleseekers preferred the ideals of "charity" and "community". These growing wings had profound differences over faith, nation, and economy, and the inevitable result was fission. If one were to take their pronouncements at first value, you would conclude that of Britain's two parties, one is economically to the left and socially to the right, and the other is the other way around. A more intelligent analysis would reveal the truth.

The Progressives claim the mantle of protecting British businesses from nationalisation or cooperation, but have been just as consistent in courting the trade-union sector as Labour, giving delegates from the Allied Relief and Reconstruction Workers prime speaking time in their last conference. Indeed, as part of their much-vaunted "social justice", this "pro-business" party have established one of the most generous welfare regimes in history, all in the name of funnelling climate refugees from across the globe into the workforce. The Progressives' ideal business sector is one harried round with employment quotas, taxes, and "social responsibilities", a pussycat in the lap of government--not stuffed or declawed, but far from free.

On the other side of the house, we find Labour, claiming the mantle of nation and culture. A simple glance at the Prime Minister should reveal how hollow that is. Despite allegedly championing Britain's "traditional values", government support for gender transition and alternative romantic arrangements is just as high as it is across the rest of the decadent West. The "senators of faith" supposedly set up as a check on this activity is itself compromised, with bishops forced to rub shoulder with imams, rabbis, and scores of other forms of foreign priest. Labour's vision might centre around the villages and terraced streets of a Merrie England, but it certainly doesn't take stock of the ancestry or creed of said Merrie Englanders.

In the early Naughties, British satirists joked about how the two parties had become interchangeable. Now, the joke is the reality. With both parties ultimately seeing themselves as the heirs to Blair, the main hope for the British right lies outside of politics. The Scots have shown us the way, with the luvvie leftie cuts to policing letting Free Caledonia establish itself. Let us return to the Shires, and like our ancestors, build castles against the tide of darkness...

I wasn't going to go through the motions again after being told of your additions and making a sock to see it for myself, but since you've decided to post a complete version here, fuck it and fuck you. I love how you've written the I Can't Believe It's Not Edmund character.

This has never been a part of anything I've said or my beliefs.

government support for gender transition
Which I support.

The "senators of faith" supposedly set up as a check on this activity is itself compromised, with bishops forced to rub shoulder with imams, rabbis, and scores of other forms of foreign priest.
My religious bigotry only goes so far as Catholicism.

Merrie England
I would never use cringe 'um actually the fifteenth century was the golden age of agricultural England and and' nonsense.

but it certainly doesn't take stock of the ancestry or creed of said Englanders.
Nice.

the main hope for the British right lies outside of politics
But I suppose that's part of it, isn't it? "I'm not calling you a racist, after all, British right."

I mean, for all the unhinged nonsense about how I'm a racist, and I know you've seen it and evidently taken it in, when drunk and all my inhibitions are down, I don't declare my support for the indiscriminate murder of six million people for their ethnicity - unlike you.

I didn't actually mean for the main character to come off as "Not Edmund"--mostly because you're quite a difficult person to imitate. The "Norman Edmonds" name was mostly a gag on how the list had some elements of Edmundness in being a future where Labour dominates, and as the first name should indicate, he probably doesn't agree with you. I apologise for this.

With both parties ultimately seeing themselves as the heirs to Blair, the main hope for the British right lies outside of politics. The Scots have shown us the way, with the luvvie leftie cuts to policing letting Free Caledonia establish itself. Let us return to the Shires, and like our ancestors, build castles against the tide of darkness...

After discussing briefly with @CanadianTory the hypothetical British side of A Kinder, Gentler Nation with some changes to his original ideas (no offence);

1979-1991: Margaret Thatcher (Conservative)
1979 (Majority) def: James Callaghan (Labour), David Steel (Liberal), William Wolfe (SNP)
1983 (Majority) def: Michael Foot (Labour), David Steel-Roy Jenkins (Liberal-SDP Alliance)
1987 (Majority) def: Neil Kinnock (Labour), David Steel-David Owen (Liberal-SDP Alliance)

1991-1994: Neil Kinnock (Labour)
1991 (Majority) def: Margaret Thatcher (Conservative), Paddy Ashdown (Liberal Democrats), David Alton (Social Democrats)
1994-1996: Gordon Brown (Labour)
1996-1999: Michael Heseltine (Conservative)
1996 (Majority) def: Gordon Brown (Labour), Paddy Ashdown (Liberal Democrats)
1999-2007: Malcolm Rifikind (Conservative)
2000 (Majority) def: Margaret Beckett (Labour), Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrats)
2004 Euro Referendum: Yes 54%, No 46%
2005 (Majority) def: Tony Blair (Labour), Vince Cable (Liberal Democrats), Ron Davies-Lynne Jones (Forward!)

2007-2010: David Davis (Conservative)
2010-2015: Jon Cruddas (Labour)
2010 (Majority) def: David Davis (Conservative), Vince Cable (Liberal Democrats)
2014 (Majority) def: Stephen Crabb (Conservative), John Leech (Liberal Democrats), Roseanna Cunningham (SNP)

2015-: Yvette Cooper (Labour)
2018 (Majority) def: Nicky Morgan (Conservative), John Leech (Liberal Democrats), Keith Brown (SNP), Tom Harris (Renew)

Quick Summary;
Thatcher manages to cling on to 1991, as Heseltine’s heart suffers problems slightly earlier before he can plunge the knife in. Additionally the Social Democrats manage to stay around a bit longer to dampen some the Liberal Democrat vote but eventually plunge off a cliff in short order. Kinnock wins 91’ but the failure of the ERM and stress cause him to have another series of depressive episodes leading to him resigning, Brown picks up the charge but fails against a revitalised Heseltine.

Heseltine sees the formation of the various British Assemblies, Local Government Reform and various nice One Nation Tory things before his heart gives out again. Rifkind manages to get in on a sympathy vote and a Conservative Right who is constantly stabbing each other. Rifkind oversees Britain joining the Euro and wins 2005 election due to Labour splitting after a contested election that see’s Blair accused of corruption to beat Left standearer Ron Davies.

Rifkind manages to gain 8 years before retiring after a controversy around Foot and Mouth, David Davis gets in embodying a similar drive across the pond with Gary Johnson of a Libertarian Style Governance. This goes, rather poorly.

Jon Cruddas is elected as the Left Wing, Back to Basics, Man of the People character who defeats Davis handily. Cruddas lasts 5 years before a Liberal Democrat surge over Cruddas’s Mild Social Conservatism and reactions to Pandemic Restrictions causes Cruddas to win by a slimmer margin than intended, and bow out whilst still popular.

Yvette Cooper is the return of the Labour Right to the driving wheel, though her flashy, boring policies are a breath of fresh air after the previous few years. 2018 is considered a fairly dull election, with Labour making some gains from Liberal Democrat’s and Conservative’s and Tom Harris’s attempt a Eurosceptic Populist Party crashing and burning.

It seems for the Tories, there last hope remains in Tobias Ellwood.

I'm genuinely not kidding, I read that as the 'House of Yoke' initially instead of York.
