AN ELECTION TO REMEMBER

There have been many amazing elections in history. Barack 
Obama became the first African-American president of 
the USA in 2008. In 1979, Margaret Thatcher became 
Britain’s first female Prime Minister and, in 1990, Lech 
Wałe¸sa became Poland’s president. However, the 1945 
election in Britain must still be one of the most surprising.

In 1939, before the Second World War started, Britain 
had a Conservative government. The leader was Neville 
Chamberlain. 

1

        

 He was replaced by Winston Churchill. 

Churchill led a coalition government. Politicians from all 
parties worked together. They forgot their differences for 
the sake of the country.

Despite the war, many people’s lives improved. 

2

       

 The 

unemployment of the 1930’s was forgotten as people 
either joined the armed forces or worked in factories or 
other essential industries. The government also decided 
that complete equality would make the population feel 
more as if they were all working together for a common 
cause. Early in the war, food was rationed. 

3

       

  The 

well-off couldn’t use their wealth to buy more. Many poor 
people actually ate better than they had before the war.

When the war in Europe finished, Churchill decided to call 
an election. At the time, he was one of the most popular 
leaders in British history. 

4

       

 The Conservatives were 

sure that this popularity would guarantee them victory. 
However, it wasn’t enough. People loved him but disliked 
his party. They also looked to him as a person to turn to 
in an emergency. Now that the emergency had passed, 
he was no longer needed. In addition, some of the most 
popular politicians in the wartime government had been 
from the Labour party. 

5

        

 They promised to completely 

change British society. Now that people had tasted 
equality, they wanted to keep it. So, a Labour government 
was elected. It brought in a free National Health Service, 
welfare benefits, free education and it nationalized some 
of Britain’s key industries. 

The feeling of optimism didn’t last. In 1951, the 
Conservatives won again and Churchill returned to 
Number 10 Downing Street.
