Nice is this if Johnson defeated an incumbent Cameron in 2015?

Not sure that Labour would give Lib Dems Health, and particularly not Lamb who was on the right of the party (though undoubtedly a good junior health minister in the coalition). Maybe they would give DEFRA.

Yes,but not the same he wanted.

Basically Mil-D wins the way Gregg described on his thread and the Party more or less is unofficially bankrupt,Balls loses his seat in 2010 but comes back in Parliament in McDonald’s place,Cooper resigns due to Yes winning and feeling responsible and Johnson becomes Leader and tries his best to avoid losing too many seats-becoming PM isn’t his priority anymore here.

Added with Greece exiting the Euro by accident via referendum like George P wanted and causing a recession,a very odd situation is created,with Labour,the Conservative and the Liberal Democrats winning and losing seats by accident due to all of them suffering electorally but in different seats.

As result of negotiations,an odd Coalition is created that has a majority only due to Scotland’s independence and thus Johnson is forced to agree to everything his partners ask of him to avoid another election since no one has the funds needed for at least 5 years.

@Time Enough @Walpurgisnacht

Something I analysed in private is how much more of a disaster the 1931 Election could have been for the Labour Party. A lot of the seats they (and their allies) kept were incredibly close to turning blue/green/yellow and the National Government getting an even bigger majority.

Even Maxton narrowly kept his seat-it is very easy to have him lose it to the Unionist candidate!

On my calculations,Labour could have only kept 25 seats in a worse 1931 election and a lot of said seats were kept solely because the Labour candidate was the only candidate.

In case you are wondering,said MPs are: William Cove,George Hall,George Daggar,Jack Lawson,Nye Bevan,Gabriel Brice,Gordon Macdonald,R.C. Wallhead,Josiah Wedgwood,Fred Hall,Ted Williams,David Lewis Davis,Charles Edwards,Jack Jones (no,not that one),Will Thorne,George Hirst,Thomas Grundy,Will Johnson,David Watts-Morgan,Charles Duncan and John McGovern.

That being said,Labour could have had one gain-Elwyn Jones defeating the only MP from Lloyd George's party bus that wasn't part of his family.

And speaking of DLG,it is also very easy to have him and his family lose their seats as well to the National Government,who honestly could only lose seats in 1931 if the Scottish Prohibitionists and the Liverpool Protestant Party were a little more successful.

Thus you have a very interesting situation,one where Nye cannot become Leader yet and either George Hall or Wedgwood becomes leader til Uncle Arthur wins a seat in a by election and can replace them after 1935.

You can also very easily have Greenwood lose the by election that brought him back in parliament and a situation where the Liberals,by default,become the Official Opposition again after 1935.

An idea:

1931-1935 Ramsey MacDonald (National Labour leading National Government Majority)
1931: Ramsey MacDonald-National Government (585),Arthur Henderson*-Labour (26),Edwin Scrymgeour-Scottish Prohibition Party (1),Harry Dixon Longbottom-Liverpool Protestant Party (1)

1935-1937 Stanley Baldwin (Conservative leading National Government Majority)
1935: Stanley Baldwin-National Government (525),Herbert Samuel-Liberal (43),George Hall-Labour (40),Harry Pollitt-Communist (1),Edwin Scrymgeour-Scottish Prohibition Party (1),Harry Dixon Longbottom-Liverpool Protestant Party (1)

1937-1940 Neville Chamberlain (Conservative leading National Government Majority)

1940-1942 Sir Samuel Hoare (Conservative leading National Government Majority)

1940: Sir Samuel Hoare(replacing Neville Chamberlain)-National Government (507),Manny Shinwell-Labour (52),Herbert Samuel-Liberal (47),Harry Pollitt-Communist (1),Edmund Harvey-Independent Progressive (1),Edwin Scrymgeour-Scottish Prohibition Party (1),Harry Dixon Longbottom-Liverpool Protestant Party (1)
 
Well this fucking cursed as hell.
The longer version of this has the National Government splitting over Hoare‘s Home Office Act (which includes the abolishment of corporal punishment and the death penalty) and either Sam launching an election over it,with the Pro Life Nationals (Hoare supporters) and the Pro Justice Nationals (most of the Conservatives) being in center stage,or the Act passing but with support from some of the Liberals and Labour,the latter of which are incredibly conflicted about it.
 
@Time Enough Interesting thing I found about-apparently many after the 2015 Election asked Ed to stay for awhile as interim PM but he and his wife said no because it was emotionally tiring for Ed and just wanted some time out for a while.

I imagine that in a Conservative Minority with DUP support and confidence,Ed would be more willing to stay on a little more.

Also Alan Johnson was constanly pestered by everyone to join the 2015 leadership election and he kept saying no because,like Ed,he was tired. He had to block many phone numbers during the Corbyn Years because he said already he doesn't want the leadership anymore and he gave up trying to tell people that.

It's not hard imagining him during 2016 having a crackdown and saying yes just to make people shut up about it.
 
@Yokai Man

I can definitely see Miliband leadership continue if he’s facing a Minority Conservative government (probably requires Labour to do a bit better in Scotland as well).

It’s an interesting possibility and I could see Miliband having a better chance in an inevitable post-Brexit election campaign I guess (Maybe Remain wins slightly etc.)

As for Alan Johnson, I can see him being pushed to jump for the leadership but I get the sense he probably doesn’t.

An Alt-2015 possibility I’ve pondered is Corbyn being incapacitated in some possibility and Jon Trickett is promoted to run, now he’s certainly more popular with the PLP but I get the sense his eventual possible victory would probably be a bit mild in tone.
