Paragraph 2
The experience of the majority of the British people
during the 1930s was undoubtedly 
(1)
a major factor
in giving their votes to the Labour Party. 
(2)
The
Great Depression of the 1930s, after the Wall Street
crash of 1929, had led to mass unemployment in
Britain. With minimal social security available to
the mass of the population, the working classes
endured years of deprivation and struggle to meet
the very basic needs of food, housing and health
care. There was no safety net for the mass of the
population to fall back onto. Millions lived in
wretched city slums and were seriously
undernourished. The lack of nutritious food meant
many children and old people, in particular,
suffered from ill-health. Free medical care was very
scarce and when the choice was between putting
food on the table or paying the doctor’s bills,
millions had to choose the survival route and
neglect basic health needs. 
(3)
And who was in
charge during this decade of social deprivation?
The Conservatives, who were now asking the people
who had endured under their government of the
1930s to give them once again their trust. The bitter
experience of that decade, however, had not been
forgotten and it would cost the Tory Party dearly.
