Following a general election where no party gained a majority, Ramsay MacDonald was appointed as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for the second time. Leading a minority Labour government, MacDonald faced challenges in navigating political dynamics within the House of Commons. To secure support, he formed a coalition with the Liberal Party.
During his second term, MacDonald focused on addressing economic issues, including high levels of unemployment caused by the Great Depression. His government implemented various measures to stabilize the economy and provide relief to those affected by the economic downturn. However, internal conflicts within the Labour Party and disagreements within the coalition strained the government's effectiveness.
MacDonald's second term as Prime Minister marked a period of political complexity and economic hardship in the UK. Despite his efforts to govern amidst challenging circumstances, his coalition government faced mounting difficulties and was unable to fully resolve the pressing issues of the time.
