”The UK had a coalition government of the two major parties for most of the war.”

This was itself a suspension of normal democratic procedures and conventions. No elections were held in the UK between 1935 and the conclusion of the war in 1945.

The thirties had a succession of mostly weak coalitions in response to the Great Depression.
