Most overrated Prime Minister?

25 years rule, so no Major, Blair, Brown, or Cameron

British PM? Then it's got to be Lloyd George. Loved because he "fought for underpriviledged." I think this fact alone is why no one can ever say anything bad about the guy. If his method to achieve the goal was the right one.

Besides he wanted the Bolsheviks to conquer half of Europe because he hated every other country there especially if it didn't exist before 1918. He probably believed it's still the same old Russia.

He was laughable 1918-1922 too, his handling of the Black and Tans made the situation in Ireland even worse than it originally was, and was accused by some MPs (including a 22 year old Oswald Mosley) of effectively condoning terrorist activity.

Then there was the original Cash for Honours scandal, where all evidence pointed to Lloyd George taking money to grand peerages and by extension a seat in the House of Lords.

A good Chancellor; yes, a decent war Prime Minister; yes, but he was a mess in peace time and spent 1922-1945 in the political wilderness usually fighting his own party, meaning the few good manifestos he produced in his return to Liberal leadership 1926-1931 were largely ignored and forgotten.

And of course many of his proudest achievements were the work of the often criticised Asquith, and the criminally underrated Campbell-Bannerman.
