All of them were leaders of parties that lost general elections or were hounded out by thier own parties.
With one exception......"An arrogant and self-righteous Guardian reading tvv@t".

Is it just me that thinks if Blair and Brown had been 60s/70s prime ministers and Harold Wilson had been a prime minister in the last 10 years he would have one hell of a lot more votes than Blair and Brown have between them.If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.
If you do like it please hit the thanks button.0 -
Thatcher, by a country mile.
As I write this its Thatcher, Blair, Brown Wilson and Macmillan."If you are going through Hell, keep going" - Winston Churchill0 -
In my life time I've only lived through 4 of these candidates so I cant really vote pre-thatcher.[STRIKE]Beggars cant be choosers, but savers can![/STRIKE]That used to be the case :mad:0

Very sad that the two with the highest number of votes (Thatcher and Blair) are the ones who contributed most to the mess!
There is no-one on the list who is capable of sorting it out. We need someone who can ignore the vested interests of big business, banks and newspapers; who can sort out the bribery and corruption in politics; who can pump prime the economy with public works; nationalise utilities, banks and public service; take business out of education and health services; then and only then start reducing the public debt.
It'll never happen. We'll all suffer for many years; the rich will get richer and the poor get poorer.0 -
There's only one winner here !
Clue: Not male0 -

Here's something quite interesting. The misery index has begun to rise again since the 'happy' couple got into power.
