I'm really struggling here. I'm inclined to go with Chamberlain, but a pre-war George VI + Neville government just seems a bit... familiar.
Still, as this Neville seems somewhat different to OTL's, I'll take a gamble.

It's a fix! He's counting trek as voting for Winston when in just the previous post he voted Nev!
It's a fix I tell you!
That or trek has voted twice for different candidates, but where's the fun in that?

I never voted for Neville!
I looked at the avatar not the name. Details, mere details....I never voted for Neville!
Whoops.

Never! I will fight cliche till... well for quite a long time certainly.
Part Two: Europe.
5. Windsors and loosers (III).
The meeting was tense. The Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax sat across from each other, in the office of 10 Downing Street. Lord Mountbatten went directly to the point and asked Churchill if he had any objections, in this day and age to a member of the Lords becoming Prime Minister? Winston, being the statesman he was remained silent, looking out over Horse Guards Parade, when Mountbatten pushed him for an answer. He turned around; looking directly at the Prime Minister, with a resigned look on his face uttered ‘No, I don’t believe I can object.’ Lord Mountbatten smiled and said: "Then I will send word to the Palace to appoint Edward as the new Prime Minister".
"Wab, last night I had the oddest dweam. Lord Mountbatten was asking me to form His Majesty's government..." -thus was Lord Halifax speaking to Rab Butler when the new Prime Minister entered into the room.
When Winston Churchill was appointed as Prime Minister to replace the suddenly departing Lord Mountbatten, the long days of debate to find a suitable candidate ended at last. The Conservative party had had a hard time to choose among the possible candidates to replace him, becuase the grandees of the party couldn't agree upon which one of the three candidates (Halifax, Churchill and Chamberlain) was to be chosen.
A compromise had to be reached, and the price that Churchill had to pay to become Prime Minister was to keep Halifax and Chamberlain in their current positions. even if Churchill would have wanted to replace Halifax with Anthony Eden and Chamberlain with sir John Simon or Stafford Cripps. For some days there were some commentes about the possibiplilty of including David-Lloyd George in the Cabinet, but in the end nothing came out of it.
Once this key issue was solved, the news of the world began to flood Downing Street...
The new King and the "new" government.
The most unexpected was related with Africa. Egypt and Mittleafrika had signed a pact of common defense and trade. The pact had been signed in December 1, 1936, and kept secret since then. What were Göring and king Faruk up to? In London Churchill smiled, delighted by the chance of dealing with that window of opportunity...
Who had called him "a fat dove"?
Churchill just enjoyed his cigar and grinned widely.
What was that... Winston took the paper and read, amazed. Those pesky Syndicalists had just tried to supress the Hunic monarchy in Ukraine... and failed. Someone called Kruschev had attempted a failed coup d'etat. What a pity that there was no Tower of London in Kiev... or something similar... There were also odd rumours about some kind of disturbs in Brazil...
Vasyl I Vyshyvanyi, that for some hours went from being
the most powerful man in his kingdom to the most headless
being in a republic but ended being His Most Scared Majesty.
The last letter was, indeed, a real shock.
Oswald Mosley, that Syndicalist dog, was asking for a chance to prove that, from the beginning, he had been a Royalist mole within the Reds, and that he had been essential to the final defeat of the Syndies. He added a clue, so he said, as he identified himself as the "Eye of the Needle"...
What? From a Socialist traitor to a Royalist heroe?

Spectacular teasing. And may I say a fine choice for First Sea Lord, not to mention dodging the bullet that was Cripps (Churchill even thinking of picking Cripps?! What kind of mad, crazy world is this! )
)
Hurrah for Churchill !
Let him be the scourge of Syndicalist Scum the world over !
Further, lets have that Mosley fellow ... disappear. I have a feeling he may well be an issue later on.

Is Mosley trying to out-rat Churchill? That's some nerve!
