Causes

  • His records as Minister of Munitions + Minister of War
  • Contrast to Asquith's weak leadership
  • Divisions over conscription
  • LG proposal for war cabinet without Asquith
  • War effort falter without dynamism of LG by Conservative's and Labour MP's
  • Press criticisms of Asquith's
  • Asquith's resignation - appointment LG

Effects

  • Meant he was an effective wartime leader
  • Better leader, help them better
  • Labour split/more updated
  • Was able to hold an appropriate government with coalition
  • He had backing from main parties and support
  • Stood him in a better light as a new reforming Liberal
  • Appointed and chosen by King, other parties agreed
