When Stanley Baldwin retired in May 1937, Chamberlain took his place as Prime Minister. His premiership was dominated by the question of policy toward the increasingly aggressive Germany, and his actions at Munich were widely popular among Britons at the time
will of the people  |

Is she bad? I have no opinion really. I know running a country is bloody hard, she seems to have handled pushing through Brexit quite well despite it not being her will.
|
|
By:
Was Chamberlain on our side?
|
|
By:
yes
|
|
By:
No, he declared war on Germany.
|
|
By:
No wonder he is considered among the worst then

So what makes him a worst PM of all time candidate?
|
|
By:
Declaring war on Nazi Germany seems like something the average modern Brit could get behind.

Apart from Barbara Fielding

maybe in the late 30s

dunno about 2017

What's Theresa doing wrong? I'm not really clever enough to understand politics and the ins and outs. She seems to have handled Brexit well from what I've seen.
What are peoples thoughts on Nicola trying to bludgeon through another referendum for Scotland. |
|
By:
Appeasement was nice after all of Europe had humiliated and ashamed Germany in the treaty of Versailles with shameful, nasty demands.
|
|
By:
Sturgeon is just showing that democracy in the UK = what England wants
|
|
By:
Being the one to invoke Brexit will be the issue AR in history.
If it goes belly up, May will get the blame for invoking it. |
|
By:
Obviously Europe wanted Germany to be somewhat crippled so you couldn't amass an army and to warn other dictators away from the idea of waging war.
|
|
By:
Surely she had no choice but to invoke it?
|
|
By:
She didn't because you English have no tradition with referendums and don't quite understand them. Unlike e.g the Swiss
|
|
By:
the planning behind it and the way things haven't done much to convince sceptics imo (not rabid remainers)
cosying up to the Donald was bad also also, she is that bad in PMQs that Corbyn manages not to flail every week |

Northern Ireland can leave the UK to go to the EU if they want, I heard
|
|
By:
if reunification happens
|
|
By:
Does a majority of NI even want reunification yet?
|
|
By:
The EU referendum was always promised if the UK voted Tory majority, Scotland didn't go into this with their eyes shut.
|
|
By:
Like 61% or something supported appeasement in 1936. No-one excuses Chamberlain for doing it though.
|
|
By:
And I believe was 61% in a 3 way poll too, with "do not know" as an option.
|
|
By:
think Cameron deserves much more of the blame tbh
|
|
By:
He shouldn't have done a referendum was the mistake, I don't think history will remember it like that though.
|
|
By:
I think it will
|
|
By:
You know, Brexit could be a success
|
|
By:
just sayin'
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
they also promised extra powers for Scotland and dunno if that ever happened
|
|
By:
People thought Chamberlain sacrificing Czech Republic for peace in September 1938 was genius. Wasn't until early 1939 public opinion massively swayed into the eyes of war was inevitable and appeasement won't work.
|

By:
The UK should really just become a proper federation of states instead of a top down English hegemony with a few dangled devolved powers
