”The UK had a coalition government of the two major parties for most of the war.”
This was itself a suspension of normal democratic procedures and conventions. No elections were held in the UK between 1935 and the conclusion of the war in 1945.

Hence the continuation of National Government. The thirties had a succession of mostly weak coalitions in response to the Great Depression.
