Bottom of the Premiership

This may wildly overrate Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. But it is good to see Attlee at the top. And the sixth place for Churchill is a step in the right direction. After all, this is about since the War. By the time that the War ended, the electorate had already ejected Churchill. He lost the popular vote in 1950, and was only able to return to office in 1951 with the support of the National Liberals. During the course of that Parliament, he had to be removed by his own party. It then comfortably won the 1955 Election.

    Behind Rupert's paywall by the look of things. I'm assuming it's a poll putting Atlee as the best post war PM. And rightly so.

    Oh, no, it's in the FT. But I read it without difficulty before. How odd. Yes, though, it puts Attlee top.
