[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Randolph_Churchill Lord Randolph Churchill]] was the father of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill Winston Churchill]] and was a major political figure in his own right during the late 19th Century, serving as Secretary of State for India, Leader of the House of Commons and Chancellor of the Exchequer during the mid 1880's. In real history Randolph Churchill died in 1895 at the age of just 45, reputedly from syphilis but more recent theories suggest the cause of death was a brain tumour. In his lifetime he was often tipped to one day be Prime Minister, but made too many enemies and ultimately misjudged the situation when he threatened to resign, only to have the resignation accepted. This timeline explores what might have happened in Randolph and his "Tory Democracy" ideas had indeed risen to the top. The results...[[{{Understatement}} might not be what you expect]].
