The PM resigns after throwing a massive firework display during a blackout.

But he doesn't leave office, or do any governing. Instead, he commandeers a fighter plane to play at dressing up, then asks his agent to organise a very profitable lecture-tour of the Rhineland.
Despite this, his core voters still demand his return to office, on the grounds that he has Got Dunkirk Done, seemingly oblivious to the fact Dunkirk was a monumental military disaster that led to us being driven out of the place we were supposed to be conquering.
Meanwhile the govt decides to ignore the war for several months, so it can conduct a leadership contest with an electorate of just 1000 elderly pensioners in Guildford.
The main campaign issues are: how to protect statues of Hindenburg, and avoid paying tax that funds the war.
This is not a thread about WW2.
