WINSTON Churchill was the leader of a coalition wartime government and was without doubt a very successful wartime prime minister. However, maybe he and his Conservatives failed to get elected in 1945 because a large part of the electorate had within two generations had to fight two world wars.

In World War One, the army was simply cannon fodder. After this war, social changes (despite the promises) were not really made to improve the lot of the working man and woman.
