If you think the Tories were in charge then you do.

WW1 was a liberal government and WW2 was a national unity government. Churchill was an independent MP at the start of the war, and he took up the job to lead an all party unified government that was needed at the time. Chamberlain resigned because he could not carry all party support. He was leader of the Tories who had a sizeable house majority, but Labour would not back him. One of the few examples of a quality labour decision.

Churchill became a Tory, but was not one at the outset of the war.
