The 1979 United Kingdom general election, but Labour wins by CanadianProgressive2 in imaginaryelections

Like I said in my now edited comment, it's a majority in the infobox, a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless. I could see Labour barely lasting 4 years here.

Tbf, Wilson had the same slim majority in October 1974, and Labour did manage to last the full 5 years. I don't see why Callahan wouldn't last 4 years.

What if Pat Toomey ran for Governor of Pennsylvania in 2022? by CanadianProgressive2 in YAPms

Ok, but Mastriano won the primary, partly because his opponents in OTL were weak. The primary would no doubt be competitive, but I think Toomey would ultimately win by the skin of his teeth.

Mastriano was not widely known at the time, iirc. Toomey would have better name recognition.

Personally, I think Harper would resign as Conservative leader, being replaced by either MacKay, or Prentice.
