According to what I have read about him, the Earl Spencer was the most probable choice for liberal prime minister in 1905. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a major stroke which ended his political career, only two months before the Liberals' return to power. In consecuence, Edward VII appointed Henry Campbell-Bannerman as liberal prime minister.
But what if the Earl Spencer doesn't suffer a stroke and is appointed prime minister instead of Campbell-Bannerman? How would that change the history? As I have read, the Earl Spencer was a strong supporter of Home Rule for Ireland, so can an earlier Third Home Rule Act be proposed?
