Figurehead: Herbert Asquith

==Herbert Henry Asquith was the first prime minister of Britain to serve during the First World War. He attempted to unify relations within parliament under a single war-time government that including key members of each political party. However, David Lloyd George would use this to his advantage, circumventing Asquith and subsequently splitting the liberal party to form a coalition with the Conservative Party. Asquith's tenure as a war-time leader was rocky at best, presumably due to his liberal nature and lack of experience with war. Often, he left decisions up to his mistress who had a startling amount of influence over the war as a result.
