    The UK had a very planned economy in place for farmers during world war 2. Farmers were explicitly told what to plant and where to plant it. At the end of the war, the Labour party campaigned on keeping that system mostly in place. The Tories wanted to scrap it.

    Guess who won by the largest landslide in history, largely because of the farmers? Hint: It wasn’t the conservatives.
