But as with the middle class houswives who tired of post war rationing

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Political reaction

In the late 1940s the Conservative Party exploited and incited
growing public anger at rationing, scarcity, controls, austerity
and government bureaucracy. They used the dissatisfaction with
the socialistic and egalitarian policies of the Labour Party to
rally middle-class supporters and build a political comeback
that won the 1951 general election. Their appeal was especially
effective to housewives, who faced more difficult shopping
conditions after the war than during it.[38]

The British Housewives' League is a right-wing, non-party group
that seeks to act as the voice of the British housewife, providing
advice and encouraging active participation in society.

The League was founded by Irene May Lovelock,[2] née Northover-Smith
(1896-1974), who became its first chairman.

Post War 1946 Bread Rationing & Nationalisation
At its peak the League claimed over 100,000 members,and their
collective voice was felt in many rallies against post war bread
rationing. After six long years, this frustration with austerity
and state control became a very political issue,particularly among
women who, fed up with rationing, longed for some purchasing power and
freedom of choice. Meat, bacon, butter, sugar, eggs, tea, cheese,
milk, sweets, clothes, petrol were all still restricted.

It was this fallout with the Labour (Attlee) Government that led to
political change, since many women turned to the Conservative party.
Their subsequent election victory in 1951 became for many a statement
of discontent with Labour. As one woman expressed it, ‘the last
election was lost mainly in the queue at the butcher’s or the grocer’s’[9]

Labour didn’t lose because of post war rationing

See above


and middle
class housewives didn’t vote Labour before that anyway.

No they didn't. They didn't vote at all.

Why not just stick to topics you know something about ?

The colour and consistency of kangaroo **** maybe ?
