Will History repeat itself? 2

So the first Liberal since David Lloyd George answered questions to the Prime Minister. Lloyd George may have been the real Prime Minister not a stand in, but he too  was part of a coalition however, in which the Conservatives had control of two-thirds of its seats and who couldn't wait to get rid of him.
