It was generally agreed among the Conservative leadership and among the other parliamentary parties that Neville Chamberlain was completely inept, and only Winston Churchill with his practical experiences of the Boer war and WWI could lead a coalition government.

He didn't. In the election of 1945, he was unbelievably beaten by Clement Attlee who became Prime Minister until 1951 and was then defeated by Winston Churchill who became Prime Minister again.
