Background
By March 2006, the British government had been infiltrated by the Raxacoricofallapatorian Slitheen family, whom murdered and disguised themselves as government office. By fabricating evidence of alien threat, their aim was to gain access to nuclear weapons which was to be used to start a nuclear war, reducing the planet Earth to molten slag which they intended to sell for profit.

As they staged the crash landing of an alien spacecraft in central London, the Slitheen killed the British Prime Minister, whose body they hid within 10 Downing Street. The position of Acting Prime Minister was assumed by MP "Joseph Green", actually Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen. (TV: Aliens of London)

Ultimately, the Slitheen plot was thwarted by the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler with the assistance of MP Harriet Jones, a backbencher serving the constituency of Flydale North, who found the Prime Minister's body with Rose.

After 10 Downing Street and the Slitheen inside were destroyed by a harpoon missile, the Doctor, who recognised Harriet's name, witnessed her taking charge in the aftermath, explaining to Rose that she was destined to become Prime Minister, elected for three successive terms, and the architect of Britain's Golden Age.

Result
With the office of Prime Minister vacant, (TV: World War Three) an election was held in which a landslide majority was won by Harriet Jones, who became Prime Minister by December. Due to travelling with the Doctor, Rose only learnt that Harriet was Prime Minister on 24 December. By then, observers were calling her term Britain's Golden Age. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
