(1883-1967) Clement Attlee was a Labour politician who served under Winston Churchill in the wartime coalition government during WW2. He was the first Labour Prime Minister to serve a full term in office.

A strong socialist, he was responsible for nationalising many of Britain's public utilities and industries. He is also the man credited with the creation of the National Health Service. He was a keen ally of the USA and decolonised much of the British Empire, giving independence to many states and forming the Commonwealth. A modest man, he lacked charisma but achieved a lot in office.

This thread has inspired me to brush up on my knowledge of Parliamentary politics.

(1804-1881) Benjamin Disraeli was a Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister twice. He was central in the creation of the modern Conservative Party and defined many of its guiding principles.
He was influential in world affairs and was an enthusiastic supporter of the British Empire. Close to Queen Victoria, he nevertheless had a rapport with the working classes and introduced policies to support those on lower incomes. He introduced political reform and gave the queen a new role in politics.

Apparently, while I'm a bleeding heart by American standards, I'm a conservative by British standards. I got David Cameron. Don't stone me!

Looked up more about Cameron. I don't agree with some of the things he has said in the past, or his positions on the safety net, but I did come across this:

Cameron has stated that he believes in "spreading freedom and democracy, and supporting humanitarian intervention" in cases such as the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. However, he claims to not be a neo-conservative because, as a conservative, he recognizes "the complexities of human nature, and will always be skeptical of grand schemes to remake the world."[19] He supports multilateralism stating "a country may act alone - but it cannot always succeed alone." He believes multilateralism can take the form of acting through "NATO, the UN, the G8, the EU and other institutions", or through international alliances.[126] Cameron has also argued that "If the West is to help other countries, we must do so from a position of genuine moral authority" and "we must strive above all for legitimacy in what we do."[126]
Cameron has supported the alliance with the United States, viewing it as highly important. He has praised its role in the Second World War and the Cold War, about which he has said "Unlike some, I never had any doubts about whose side I was on". This was interpreted as a knock at sections of the Labour Party, some members of which had expressed support for the former Soviet Union. He has also claimed "we must be steadfast not slavish in how we approach the special relationship", arguing that "questioning the approach of the U.S. administration, trying to learn the lessons of the past five years, does not make you anti-American."

Yeah, I agree with much, if not all of that.

I also tend to agree with this:

In a speech in Ankara in July 2010, Cameron stated unequivocally his support for Turkey's accession to the EU, citing economic, security and political considerations, and claimed that those who opposed Turkish membership were driven by "protectionism, narrow nationalism or prejudice"

Cameron opposes the death penalty, saying that while "There are MPs who think we should restore the death penalty... I don't happen to take that view."[39]

Cameron has spoken out against mandatory identity cards on a number of occasions, saying that they will not reduce crime and illegal immigration, will be a waste of money and are a violation of human rights.[95]

I also found this to be interesting:

Traditionalist conservative columnist and author Peter Hitchens has written, "Mr Cameron has abandoned the last significant difference between his party and the established left", by embracing social liberalism.[113] Daily Telegraph correspondent and blogger Gerald Warner has been particularly scathing about Cameron's leadership, arguing that it is alienating traditionalist conservative elements from the Conservative Party.[114]

Ok, I have to respect this guy, even if I don't agree with everything he says or does.

(1966-) David Cameron was Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016. He initially led a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats until the general election of 2015 when the Conservative party gained a majority. He resigned following the 2016 'Brexit' referendum, stating that his advocacy for remaining in the EU made him a poor choice to lead the country into exit negotiations.

He was educated at Eton and studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford. He described himself as a 'modern compassionate conservative' and pressed ahead with policies that include raising education standards, setting immigration controls and supporting a referendum on Scottish independence. His government oversaw large cuts in spending in an attempt to reduce the national debt, which affected his popularity

Jeremy Corbyn was the best PM that never was.

Actually think he should have won the election and that the deep state blocked it.
