Draft:Clement Attlee
Clement Atlee was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951. He was born into a rich family. But unlike people today, when he was actually exposed to poverty he had pity and he would forever afterwards be a left wing icon. He was the longest serving leader of the Labour Party from 1935 until 1955. During World War 2, he was the Nation's first Deputy Prime Minister. Serving as Winston Churchill's right hand man. After the war, he was the first Labour leader to win a Majority in the 1945 election. In power, several key policies were passed. The creation of The NHS in 1948, the foundation of the Special Relationship between America and England, Nationalisation of several U.K. Industries, the Creation of National Parks. He got quite a bit done in just 6 years. Unfortunatly, he also did some not so good things. Such as the Partition of India.
In short, he got Just as much done as Truman did in the US.
