Eighty years ago today, May 23, 1945 (April 12, 1945 in the lunar calendar), Churchill resigned. On May 23, 1945, the wartime coalition government disintegrated, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill resigned, forcing the re-establishment of universal suffrage in the UK. On July 5th, the UK will start its first general election in 10 years. It is widely believed that Churchill, who formed a coalition government with Labor and Liberals in 1940, was elected because of the overwhelming Conservative majority in Parliament. Prior to this, the Labor Party rejected Churchill's request to maintain the coalition until the end of the War against Japan; And he rejected Labor's proposal to maintain the coalition government until the end of October. Under these circumstances, Churchill had to propose universal suffrage.
