'''Stanley Baldwin''', [[Knight Fever|1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley KG PC]], was a British Conservative politician and major figure in the inter-war years, being prime minister three times, in 1923-24, 1924-291924–29 and 1935-37.
 
He first became prime minister when his predecessor, [[Bonar Law]], was diagnosed with cancer and retired. Most of the actual candidates whom people would have expected had been isolated from the government, leaving only two candidates. The choice formally fell to King George V acting on the advice of senior ministers and officials.
