Labour victory in 1951
1951: Clement Attlee (Labour minority)
1955: Anthony Eden (Conservative) [1]
1960: Sir Alec Douglas-Home (Conservative) [2]
1964: George Brown (Labour)
1968: George Brown (Labour) [3]
1973: George Brown (Labour) [4]
1975: Anthony Crosland (Labour) [5]
1980: Anthony Crosland (Labour) [6]
1985: Nigel Lawson (Liberal Conservative) [7]
[1] The Conservative's win a landslide after 10 years of Labour domination and in the wake of Attlee's disasterous handling of Malayan Emergency, the Kenyan Insurgency and the situation regarding the Suez Canal. Eden promises to reverse the trend of what he see's as the "Scuttling of the Empire" by Labour.
[2] After winning the 1959 general election with a solid majority, Eden resigns after his health declines and he is diagnosed with a stomach ulser. Foreign Secretary Lord Home returns to the Commons in a by-election following the Peerage Act of 1958 to assume the Premiership from the Commons after Eden recommends him to the Queen.
[3] After the ousting of De Gaulle's right-wing government in France, and the stablishment of the French Sixth Republic there was a resurgence of European anti-Soviet socialism. George Brown returned to power with a landslide majority, and with strong alliances on the continent. However, the United States under President McCarthy had little love for the new order in Europe...
[4] The abolition of NATO and the popular industrial nationalisations give Brown's government an even stronger majority. The Tories, fearing oblivion, begin to accept more aspects of popular labour positions.
[5] Despite high popularity, Brown is forced into resignation after introducing a controversial local government reform bill. He is succeeded by Foreign Secretary Anthony Crosland
[6] Considered one of the more boring elections in decades. Few seats change hands, while Labours new mantra of staying the course (for the sake of the People) rings true to most voters. The occasional revival of Stalinist era policies in the USSR and the extreme anti-socialist anti-communist policies of an increasingly paranoid USA continues to push Britain and western Europe in general towards Third Way Socialism.
[7] After 20 years of Labour power a united Liberal and Conservative Party win the election with a landslide majority. This happened over increasing Stalinist tendencies in Europe.

His alcoholism was partially brought on by the superfluity of his position as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. Here, he is a successful PM who managed three terms and still popular. Alcoholism is much less likely.

Labour victory in 1951

[1] The Conservative's win a landslide after 10 years of Labour domination and in the wake of Attlee's disasterous handling of Malayan Emergency, the Kenyan Insurgency and the situation regarding the Suez Canal. Eden promises to reverse the trend of what he see's as the "Scuttling of the Empire" by Labour.
[2] After winning the 1959 general election with a solid majority, Eden resigns after his health declines and he is diagnosed with a stomach ulser. Foreign Secretary Lord Home returns to the Commons in a by-election following the Peerage Act of 1958 to assume the Premiership from the Commons after Eden recommends him to the Queen.
[3] After the ousting of De Gaulle's right-wing government in France, and the stablishment of the French Sixth Republic there was a resurgence of European anti-Soviet socialism. George Brown returned to power with a landslide majority, and with strong alliances on the continent. However, the United States under President McCarthy had little love for the new order in Europe...
[4] The abolition of NATO and the popular industrial nationalisations give Brown's government an even stronger majority. The Tories, fearing oblivion, begin to accept more aspects of popular labour positions.
[5] Despite high popularity, Brown is forced into resignation after introducing a controversial local government reform bill. He is succeeded by Foreign Secretary Anthony Crosland
[6] Considered one of the more boring elections in decades. Few seats change hands, while Labours new mantra of staying the course (for the sake of the People) rings true to most voters. The occasional revival of Stalinist era policies in the USSR and the extreme anti-socialist anti-communist policies of an increasingly paranoid USA continues to push Britain and western Europe in general towards Third Way Socialism.

Most of Western Europe recieved damage, and Diane Abbot assumed the premiership after London's bunkers didn't prove strong enough.

The question is;
How the hell does Attlee winning in 1951 produce a socialist Britain or is it down to the left bias of many people who contribute to this list?

Attlee was a socialist, you know. Quite socialist. Add some butterflies and you have a list. Sometimes, my very young friend, its fun to have a socialist Britain. It isn't real, you know?
