what if churchill had have been able to pull off what many, even attlee, had expected and won the 1945 election with a comfortable majority, lets say 350 seats. POD that he runs a much better campaign than he does in reality, offering the same policies as he did in OTL but without the poor personal campaign and attacking his former coalition partners in labour and the liberals.

he would have introduced some form of health service, but whomever the conservative health minister is will not be of the same stature as bevan and so the service will be weaker and there will probably be some prescription charges from the start.

Attlee would be ousted as labour leader, probably by Herbert Morrison.

greater emphasis on house building - one of the attlee government's major failures.

probably would have pulled out of india in 1948-49, when it was originally planned to take place

Churchill would be able to recast himself as a war leader when the korean war commences, might be able to win another victory in 1950 but with a reduced majority.

what else, your thoughts?

(Im surprised this POD hasnt been mentioned more often, i personally find it fascinating)
