This study lies within the framework of the years 1945-1955, which correspond to
Clement Attlee’s Labourite and Winston Churchill’s Conservative administrations.
Many analysts claim that, after World War II, a tacit political and economic agreement
was established. Soon dissenting voices from the so-called anti-consensualists arose in
the historiographical debate. These two schools of thought are compared in the first part
of this work.
The objective is to demonstrate, by means of an analysis of their speeches and the
proposals of their respective political parties, that the ideological differences hindered a
total agreement. These primary sources are examined from several perspectives. The
main emphasis of this study falls on the ideology as a distinctive element and its
influence on other fields such as education, the welfare system or the economy. The
results reveal a lack of consensus based on their opposite political cultures.
