	James Callaghan / Sir Alec Douglas Hume / Neville Chamberlain and even Winston Churchill fall within this category..., just to name the last four.

	This would actually be a very interesting quiz, if instead of using it to make a stupid point, you actually listed all the PMs who have never won a general election.

	I see your screen-name is Tombombadil93, so I'm guessing you were born in '93, making you about 17 years old, normal age for some immature anti-establishment protesting, with little or no knowledge of the history, politics, nor the British Constitution.

	To the first guy - you're wrong with at least two of your answers. To the third guy - it quite clearly isn't 'immature anti-establishment protesting' and you can't base your argument on the assumption that I don't know anything about British history. Arguments aren't backed up by assumptions are they? It's simply a little joke that I thought people who use this site would appreciate - little did I know it's full of people adament to find an error in someone's quiz. The second guy raises a good point though.

	British Prime Ministers are never 'elected.' That's not how the British Constitution works.

	Seeing as it is called the general election, I don't think I have got anything wrong in that area.

	unless you live in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeat, you didn't have a chance to vote for Gordon Brown; that's the constituency where he stood for election.

	As far as I can see it's Brown,Callaghan,Douglas-Home,Bonar-Law?

	Add Neville Chamberlain (Stanley Baldwin led the National Government at the General Election of 1935 and retired in 1937, when Chamberlain took office until 1940).

	However, you must strike poor old Andrew Bonar Law off that list. His first act upon becoming PM in late October 1922 was to call a General Election on Weds 15 Nov. which the Tories, having broken their post-war coalition with Lloyd George, won convincingly against an opposition split between Labour and two factions of the Liberal Party. (C.L. Mowat, Britain Between the Wars, 1918-1940, p. 145; David Butler & Jennie Freeman British Political Facts, 1900-1966, pp. 14 & 142.) Baldwin did not take over the leadership of the Tories until 1923 only to lose his first General Election that year, winning in 1924, losing in 1929 and winning again in 1935.
