@oristarA,

No. It suggests that he made many think that the Conservatives were the most responsible for the glory and power of the British Empire.

Thanks.
The author, by using such phrases, denotes that the Prime Minister of Jewish birth had some character that was outstanding, or cheating?

@oristarA,

It does not denote that. The two sentences are largely unrelated as they occur in the introduction, which merely sets out to summarize what made him distinctive. Only further reading could reveal the author's characterization of him.
