Lloyd George fell from power in October 1922, "never to hold office again". As a result he has tended to be written out of the politics of the 1920s. But John Campbell argues that he remained the central figure on the political stage until 1931, and that the energies of Baldwin and MacDonald were very largely directed to making sure that he did not come back. Working with Keynes and others to find a remedy for mass unemployment, Lloyd George remains the most fertile and progressive figure in British politics. But the two-party trap was closing on the Liberal party, and all his efforts could not restore it.
