If there was no Falkland War in 1982 it is not clear that the Conservatives would win re-election in 1983 in Great Britian. As of early 1982 polls showed a virtual tie between Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal/SDP Alliance. In fact, late 1981 the Alliance had a large lead in the polls. A lot of by-elections went the Alliance's way before the Falkland War. If there were no Falkland War there could there have been realignment toward a true three party system? Was it even possible that the Alliance could have won the most number of seats in the next election? Even as it was, it captured 25% of the vote in 1983.
