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.

Think back to the good old days that you so hark after Stan, the world was truly f'ed up by our grandfathers. Not only could they not build cars or run industries, they failed completely when it came to keeping the peace. |
Well above is your post that had Cashy saying it was the Tories, as you can see you didn't specify which generation of Grandfathers but you did mention the car industry the cock ups in that came a little later than WW1 in fact, extremely post WW2.

However if you want to bring politics into the mess our grandfathers made we can. The Liberal party was in charge throughout WW1 were they not ?

Moving the goal posts in the next of your posts you then narrowed your field to WW1. (No doubt in an attempt to throw cashy off the scent).
However nowhere have I stated a belief that the Tories were in power during that time.
So, if inaccuracies can creep into your posts from the same day (to suit your purpose), what trust can we put in anything else you claim to be a fact?
Perhaps next time you wish to talk history you won't mix over fifty years of it into one lump, meanwhile may I repeat,
I don't think I need a history lesson from you thank you.
