landslide victory was a fantastic opportunity to achieve the party’s objectives such as the full welfare State and nationalization, full employment and an open foreign policy based on cooperation with other countries with the idea of peace as a priority. But with these great expectations came some problems, the war had damaged Britain and the government faced important economic problems. The American economic help stopped, which did not help Britain.
