@prben2 This is true. The labour government was making good head way on the economy up to 1978. The winter of discontent of 1978-79 was the killer blow for the government however.

Attlee got 49% and a majority of 145,Thatcher's was 43 and 144. Blair had a majority of 179. Baldwin got 55% of the vote and a majority of 165. Thatcher didn't get the biggest majority of votes or seats even if you leave out the years before the War.

Brian Walden done a programme back in 97 called Labour Leaders.
If you can find, it is worth watching. It sums Callaghan up completely.
I quote In calmer times he would of got the reputation as a great prime minister. It is what was meant to be his strong point that let him down. He could not get tuff on the trade unions .

He was a decent man who managed to stabilise the economy after the Barber boom and bust under Heath and the oil crisis. The militant leadership of the trade unions did for him in the end. Even so, the Conservatives only achieved a majority of about 40 seats in 1979. This was partly because Callaghan was far more popular as a person with the electorate than Thatcher. And yes, I am old enough to remember.

@broomybank Well said. I appreciate the viewpoint of someone who lived through the Callaghan era, especially since I was born after it in the 80's.
