Halifax didn't WANT Germany to win, he just assumed they would and wanted to get out of it cheaply.
I consider his actions traitorous.
Labour had the most seats in the 1929 election - but it was a hung parliament and had to rely on the Liberals to get anything done. It was Labour's inability to do anything about the depression which caused - a split in August 1931 - then Labour got the blame and got booted out in pretty spectacular fashion. Labor managed to pick up 102 seats in the next election and still languished until 1945.
