Ok, that was a flip answer. And curse you for putting me in a position where I am defending Thatch!!!
But,
Without a doubt she was one of the most popular leaders this country has ever seen. A lot of people STILL call for her to return to politics, still get dewy eyed when talking about her time in parliament.Still think she was one of the best things that ever happened to this country.








...mostly people who are too young to remember the 80s in any detail at all, in my experience of arguing these things.

Even many of the people who voted for her three times realised that she'd lost the plot by the end of her time in office. Even the majority of the cabinet ministers she appionted of her own ministers were pragmatic enough to realise that.


No,I don't agree. Many people of my age still mis her. And people that are older see it as some kind of golden age of politics! ha!
