What Next?

I want your predictions for where we'll be in ten years' time, June 2026, by which time there should have been at least two general elections (unless things have gone really badly wrong). If you think the UK will have split up, then references to the UK should be taken to mean the successor state with the highest population.

Most of this is too much up in the air to give good answers, but I think it is worth unpacking the worst prime minister question:

Chamberlain: thought he was doing the right thing, couldn't have averted war, shouldn't be blamed.

Eden: no worse than Blair for idiot wars of aggression. Only notable for making it obvious that Britain was no longer a first rank power.

Thatcher: knew what she was doing and achieved what she intended, mostly. We might not like what she did but she was undeniably competent.

Cameron: seems not to believe in anything nor have any strategic goals nor any understanding of the political atmosphere of the country. (Farage is about the only politician with a good handle on that last one.)
