Snag these new Insider Deals before they are goneFILE - Britain's Labour Party leader Harold Wilson raises his hands after retaining his seat in the House of Commons and winning the general election, outside the ballot counting rooms rooms at the Huyton Secondary School in Huyton, Lancashire, England, Oct. 15, 1964. Britains upcoming general election on July 4, 2024 is widely expected to lead to a change of government for the first time in 14 years.
Douglas-Home had only become prime minister the year before, when his predecessor Harold Macmillan stepped down following a huge reversal in fortune. The buoyant economy had faltered, and Macmillan had been snubbed by French President Charles de Gaulle in his application for Britain to join the recently formed European Economic Community.
Wilson also had the common touch, particularly important in the new world of television and with Britain showing signs of a cultural renaissance in the “Swinging Sixties.” Wilson was more than able to hold his own with The Beatles, as evidenced in March 1964 when he presented the Fab Four an award.
