I don't care what the title of that article is, actually look at the dates of the events in said article:
The King and Country Debate 1933
The East Fulham By Election 1933
The Peace Ballot 1934
Rhineland crisis 1935
Perhaps the fault here is that you didn't bother to go past a "simple reading of the title" and actually read the thing. It is right that nobody really cared about the Anschluss though (except maybe Austrians). Basically everybody viewed Austria as rightfully German anyways.
Saying that Chamberlain was "Elected Twice" is straight up ridiculous. Firstly, it's exactly like saying that since we elected John Boehner to the senate, we also elected him president (and therefore has our popular support) if Obama and Biden both die just because Ohio voted for the guy. Sure, he would have been elected to something, just not the oval office. Secondly, he wasn't elected by his party for the job, his predecessor recommended him to the king and that's as far as the decision went. At the time of his appointment, nobody viewed Chamberlain as anything but a temporary caretaker.

Maybe you should start "looking stuff up". The fact that you're talking "off the cuff"
really, really shows.
I do agree with you that Chamberlains actions where probably generally right though. Brittan did need time to rearm.
Still no facts though. Numerous egregious factual errors are required for your pet theory to work, and so far you've hardly made any attempt to back up a single one. Good job.
