TSR best (post-war) PM tournament: QF1: Attlee v Churchill

For wont of the NHS, there would be some other healthcare system in place, almost certainly a better one along the lines of the rest of Europe.

For wont of Churchill, i.e. a weaker leader, there would be no Britain. Rishi Sunak or Gordon Brown would have given in to Hitler at the first possible opportunity.

Churchill, without a moment's hesitation.

TSR is asking the question: Who is the best (post-war) UK Prime Minster?

We're holding a tournament of UK Prime Ministers and asking you to vote to determine which was the most significant in history. We are currently in the quarter-final stages of this tournament, and this is Quarter Final 1.

All the other groups are linked at the bottom of this post, and there's a hub thread here if you're interested in reading more.

The PMs in quarter final 1 are:
Clement Attlee 1945-1951

Labour. The earliest PM in this list, Attlee led a ground-breaking government who oversaw the post-war recovery period in the second half of the 1940s. His government's most celebrated achievement was the establishment of the NHS.

Winston Churchill 1940-1945, 1951-1955

He was the 41st Prime Minister and was the leader of the Conservative Party from 1940-1945. He led Britain during the Second World War and is viewed to be one of the greatest wartime leaders and UK PMs in history, despite his controversies.
