If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.

― Winston Churchill (Speech in Rome on 20 January, 1927, praising Mussolini)”

I will not pretend that, if I had to choose between Communism and Nazi-ism, I would choose Communism.

― Winston Churchill

I have never in my life seen these quotes before. Holy shit they're bad.

    Churchill won more seats in 1951 despite having fewer votes than Attlee. The UK political system is kinda fucked, although not quite to the extent as the US one (at least currently).
