i disagree, if the conservatives had have adopted more of the beveridge proposals, and if churchill hadve run a better campaign, which he was capable of doing, then he would have won a workable majority. 1945 was not a preordained conservative defeat like in 1997, the ocnservatives could have won. In Canada and Australia the incumbent prime ministers were reelected, in the UK the same could have happened.
