Although Oliver in my haste to respond to your post.
I quoted the wrong overall majority, I quoted Major's Conservative win of a 21 overall majority in 1992.
Rather than Churchill's narrower 17 in 1951.

The other point about the Churchill elections is he never won the most votes cast in any he fought.
Despite getting that narrow election win in 1951.
Attlee's Labour still just taking more votes in said 1951 election too.

So it seems at the time, even despite the war, the THEN population were not over keen on him.
