I guess I'll have to agree:
No attack means Maggie wins, but later and with a smaller majority. This leads to a lot of options on how events might have developed later, but they're all highly speculative.
"Caving in", ie any kind of compromise solution with Argentina, would mean Michael Foot PM in 1984 imho, though probably with quite a weak popular mandate. Now that's an interesting one...What part of Labour's farleft programme would have been implemented? How large a majority of it would have fallen by the wayside? How much anger would that have caused at the Labour base? How quickly would the Cons have gotten back in? And under whose leadership?
