By the same token given the fact that the disasters in Greece and Crete had already occurred without Churchill being called to account it's drawing somewhat of a long bow to suggest that the British Parliament would be moved to dismiss Churchill based on the loss of more one 'obscure' island (remembering of course that Malta's fame arose from it's ultimately successful resistance to the Axis siege). Absent that success why would the British government of the day really care? In the end a Malta that fell early in the war would merely be a footnote in history rather than something justifying the dismissal of a PM.
