This
collection
of
speeches
from
1906
to
1909
documents
Churchill’s
early
years
as
a
Member
of
the
Liberal
Party
in
the
House
of
Commons.Sir
Winston
Churchill
is
admired
as
a
brilliant
Conservative
politician
and
statesman—but
he
wasn't
always
a
Conservative.
In
1904,
he
crossed
over
to
join
the
Liberal
party,
becoming
Under-Secretary
of
State
for
the
Colonies
and
later
joining
the
Liberal
Cabinet.
This
collection
of
his
speeches
reveals
Churchill's
dramatic
shift
toward
a
more
progressive
governing
philosophy.Here,
the
young
MP’s
fervently
argues
his
positions
on
some
of
the
most
important
issues
of
the
time,
including
the
"People's
Budget,"
a
highly
controversial
new
wealth
distribution
initiative.
The
resulting
conflict
between
the
House
of
Lords
and
the
House
of
Commons
led
to
the
passage
of
the
Parliament
Act
of
1911,
asserting
the
House
of
Commons'
legislative
powers.
This
compilation
of
speeches
is
both
an
enlightening
historical
document
and
a
fascinating
display
of
the
future
Prime
Minister’s
political
insights
and
oratory skill.
