Why was Churchill resoundingly voted out of office when the war ended?

My point wasn't that Britons hate the guy -- they voted his party back in five years later -- but that they have a more complicated view of Churchill and see both sides of the man.

They don't have the simple hero-worshiping view of Churchill in the UK that US neocons do.

I don’t think many Americans hero-worship Churchill. Most Americans, at this point, have hardly heard of him. Again, it is British moviemakers who produce all these movies and tv shows, not Americans. I’m reading a major bio of him now - written by a Brit. I’m sure they have a complicated view of him in England - he was on the scene for absolute decades making major decisions in at least two major wars.
