		James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff (born 27 March 1912) was Labour Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1976 to 1979.
		Callaghan's resignation as party leader ignited a power struggle between the left and right wings of the party which culminated in the defection of the Gang of Four to found the SDP.
		Callaghan's admirers maintain that had he remained as party leader his position would have been respected by both sides and that by avoiding a split in the non conservative vote he could have restored the Labour Party to Government by the mid-1980s.

	James Callaghan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Callaghan was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1964 to 1967 during a turbulent period in the British economy in which he had to wrestle with a balance of payments deficit and speculative attacks on the pound sterling.
		Callaghan was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport in 1947 where his term saw the introduction of zebra crossings, and an extension in the use of cat's eyes.
		Callaghan's support for and from the union movement should not be mistaken for a left wing position: unlike Wilson, Callaghan had been a supporter of Hugh Gaitskell in the battles over Labour's direction in the 1950s and he settled old scores by sacking the Bevanite Barbara Castle when he became party leader.

		Callaghan also did his best to cope with a feckless and vacillating US President with minimal experience in international affairs, Jimmy Carter.
		A point that I did not see raised in the obituaries was that Callaghan, while being a model of loyalty to his party successors compared with the comparable relationships in the Conservative Party, was prepared to voice his opposition to Labour’s unilateralist disarmament policies in the 1980s.
		Predictably, Callaghan was castigated by more frenetic members of the Labour Party (‘Guilty Men’ ran the headline in the post-election issue of Tribune) but he was talking sense.
