I recently was looking up a quote for a school project.

"How much easier is it to be critical than to be correct"

- Benjamin Disraeli, speech of 1859-02-28

Then I remembered in AoS about the Gladstone-Disraeli rivalry, and I found out that they actually did have a grand relationship.

So I was wondering, which was the better Prime Minister? Gladstone or Disraeli?

Gladstone. He was a liberal and generally awesome. Disraeli was a conservative.

I'm going with Apollo.
But why have I only heard of Gladstone, not the other guy?
