This is excellent. I was unaware Eden had any role of importance in those days. Thought he came to prominence later, which shows how ignorant I am.

That the group you spoke with ahd never considered this question suprises me. Evidently they are not alternative history fans.

Anyway it looks like the leaders favoring peace all had fairly weak positions, and there was at least one prowar alternative to Churchill. Leaving aside dark horses abruptly rushing to the lead, it appears the prowar faction is the favorite for suplanting Chamberlains government. Further, if the peace factions attain power they are likely to depend on some fairly weak leaders in front, so that post Barbarosa Britian may still reenter the war against Germany.
