Thatcher poll: worst or best

sabretoothtigger · 2013-04-11 06:13:56

Just an anonymous straw poll to gauge general forum consensus, north or south. This is not if you would (have) vote for that party but just on their record after the fact; was this leader one of the worst in 40 years or one of the better ones

She was rubbish.

She was charged with governing a political union and making it prosper.

She treated union components as the Titanic and other union components as the lifeboat.

She was worthless to Scotland

Her legacy will be a political union that if it doesn't collapse next year will have developed a helluva sinister cough.:(

She may remain as an icon of whatever eventual residual union respects her predilections.

If there's no UK after the next few years or decades, she was the catalyst.
