Why is Robert Walpole our first Prime Minister?

What an embarrassment of a video this is. Poorly edited, oodles of background noise, images that haven't been cropped right, questionable historical judgements and a lack of sources because I didn't remember to write them down. But classic sunk cost fallacy set in about halfway through making it, and it's not like I had anything else to do, so here it is. I don't ask for your forgiveness, nor your understanding. I only ask for you to subscribe.
