Well, I did notice something on the open PODs page. It's an alternative to having Victoria die. It's "What if Princess Elizabeth of Clarence didn't die young (March 4, 1821) and Victoria never became queen?" You still end up with the Hanover situation as Elizabeth like Victoria is female and can not inherit the throne of Hanover.

But to discuss your proposal; oh my gosh. That's interesting. Well, when one accends to the throne of a nation they don't get to absolutely change the government suddenly. Ernest will, as a word of caution for your plans, still have to manage parliament (do consider the English Civil War). Though, I don't see how Enrest would actually inherit the throne of England.**does some digging, finds out that Victoria is of House Hanover* .... Ah. Ok.... *does some more digging*


 * looks into Ernest's son George* I saw go for it. I see that that alternative Elizabeth path wouldn't allow for this German situation to be explored. It'd still provide a '1800s without Victoria' scenario (in that she's not queen, Victoria) but yeah- wouldn't permit this.


 * looks into Victoria to try and find additiaonl suggestions* let's see 1935... I can suggest looking intoPrime Minister Melbourne . He had some influence in Victoria's early riegn but with Ernest he'll not so easily be able to manuever the government. As in Melbourne's term in office will be altered. (Melbourne was appointed by King William IV of the United Kingdom so prior to the POD) I recommend examining Ernest's political standings to see if he'd approve of Melbourne's politics.
