UK Politics from Macmillan to Thatcher

In British political history, Heath's leadership was marked by poor relationships with trade unions, as well as controversial economic choices, discussed here.

Although Heath was not the most successful British head of government, his leadership nonetheless led to changes in immigration and labor policy.

In this British political history lesson review the Wilson/Callaghan government, the slackened economy of the era, and how the government tried to fix it.

The social aspects of Britain in the mid- to late-seventies were largely influenced by the politics of the Wilson/Callaghan Labour government and trade unions.
