Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: Difference between revisions

[[Harold Wilson]] was Prime Minister in the late [[1960s]]. He authorised the sacrifice of 12 children to the alien [[456]] in exchange for an antivirus. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Three]]'') His support in the [[1970]] general election was eroded by a series of disasters at scientific research facilities in [[1969]]-[[1970|70]], such as [[Wenley Moor]]. ([[MA]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy]]'' referencing [[DW]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'').  

[[Edward Heath]] suceeded him Prime Minister, but his government quickly came under fire due to the chaos at a Britain-hosted peace conference. ([[MA]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy]]'', referencing [[DW]]: ''[[The Mind of Evil]]'')

Due to the multiple alien-caused crises and the Conservative and Labour Parties having conflicting policies on how to deal with them, the next general election saw a coalition of the Liberal Party and several fringe parties take power under [[Jeremy Thorpe]] ([[WEB]]: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/partypolitics.shtml ''Party Politics'']). He was close to the company [[Global Chemicals]], and forbade [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] from investigating the company. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Green Death]]'') Jeremy's government would fall due to repeated scandals, ending with the involvement of high-ranking ministers in [[Operation Golden Age]]. ([[WEB]]: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/partypolitics.shtml ''Party Politics''])

 

'''[[Margaret Thatcher]]''' became Prime Minister. During the late [[1980s]], the Doctor would also act as a consultant to Thatcher. ([[SP]]: ''[[Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure]]'') Despite this, he would later show distaste towards her. ([[DW]]: ''[[Father's Day]]'', ''[[Tooth and Claw]]'')
