In theory it should be harder to take out the PM
Check your theory. The facts say definitively otherwise.
While the evidence suggests differently, I am not fully convinced that taking out the PM is in fact easier.
This does not surprise me. Liberals are rarely swayed by inconvenient facts.
People will wait to hear the results before making a decision.
I was in Britain recently. I'm betting "people" stick with Blair. The opinion there, as here, seems to be that bumping Saddam was a good thing regardless of WMD.
then "dropping bombs and ruling the world" was another way of referring to conservatism.
I think you seriously misunderstand what conservatism is about. For example, a conservative philosophy and isolationism are perfectly compatible.
And that, in a nutshell, is the problem with the right.
No. That is a problem of the left. You don't learn well. The most leftist philosphy is Communism. We have Leninist and Stalinist Russia and Maoist China as fine examples of its accomplishments.
f that's correct, we have at least another 7 years of recession.
No. The flexibility of the US economic system will right things faster here than in Japan.
You are suggesting that flexibility is a trait of the right. That's funny!
Economic flexibility is a trait of capitalism and free enterprise. Leftist/socialist "solutions" remove that flexibility.
And where did dishonest presidents like Nixon get us?
Nixon's behaviour got his butt kicked out of office- -as it should have been. He was not impeached, but he would have been had he not resigned.
If Churchill was as popular as you suggest, why would the Brits do that?
OK.
Before the surrender of Japan, Churchill's wartime government broke up, and the Labour party won a large majority in the general election of July 1945. Churchill was deeply affected by this blow, though it was in no sense a vote of censure upon him but upon 20 years of Conservative rule. He continued to enjoy esteem as leader of the opposition Conservative party.

In public Churchill accepted plans for social reform drawn up by William Beveridge in 1944. However, he was unable to convince the electorate that he was as committed to these measures as much as Clement Attlee and the Labour Party. In the 1945 General Election Churchill's attempts to compare a future Labour government with Nazi Germany backfired and Attlee won a landslide victory.
Churchill became leader of the opposition and when visiting the United States in March 1946, he made his famous Iron Curtain speech at Fulton, Missouri. He suffered the first of several strokes in August 1946 but this information was kept from the general public and he continued to lead the Conservative Party.
Churchill returned to power after the 1951 General Election. After the publication of his six volume, The Second World War, Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Churchill's health continued to deteriorate and in 1955 he reluctantly retired from politics. Winston Churchill died on 24th January, 1965.

You do notice they disliked him so much they brought back to office later?
