That was the thing with Mrs Thatcher - a strange bunch of people and you never knew which one of them was running the country at any one time.

I think that is greatly unfair, I believe that she gave everybody the power to determine their own financial future.

Mr Bear is 100% correct

 

she took us to war in the south atlantic to boost her ratings, she let british servicemen die for what ?

 

she did somethings that boosted the country and gave people the opportunity to make lots of money for themselves but anyone who did nt fit with her model was totally ignored.

 

and Mr Bear, here is one to stick in your throat, her style of leadership meant that her followers were juat the followers, not leaders, this meant that once she went the next in line were the Majors, Duncan Smiths and Hagues of this world, this meant that for the last 10 years the Conservatives have been such a weak party.

 

Her legacy to the country has been the Blair presidency, I bet that makes you happy and warm inside :D :D , before Thatcher no Labour government had ever be re-elected.

if only she was eternal ;Ll ;Ll ;Ll

at least we knew what she was up to - she would say "We're doing this, deal with it", unlike the present government who spin everything and massage figures - don't start me on the NHS waiting list to get onto the waiting list..................

 

Anyone heard about this abolition of parliament bill??

For instance she was very clear that the Belgrano was a threat to the troops in the Falklands.

 

She was also clear that the economy was very efficient, 4 million unemployed but an efficient economy #-o #-o

She paved the way for the prosperity and low unemployment we have now.

 

France and Germany avoided the pain Thatcher put us through but look at the state they are in - and things are only going to get worse for them.

 

Sadly, Labour are squandering the legacy they inherited. I am a traditional Labour voter but they took over a great set of circumstances and are slowly pissing them away.

Billy Bear, are you our resident Historian ??

If he is sack him, the date is wrong; http://www.bbc.co.uk/politics97/background...elec/ge79.shtml

 

My stats say May 4th also. :-k :-k :-k

 

So Billybob is correct :-k :-k :-k

 

toodle pip :D :D :D :D

The general election was 3rd May 1979.

 

She therefore formally became Prime Minister 4th May.

 

It's when the ex-PM resigns to the Queen isn't it?

All the votes take until well after midnight to count up, so the announcement would have been made on 4th May I presume, so that would make Mr Bear right

does nt the pm have to go to the queens house and been asked to form a government ?

Think the losing PM goes to the Queen to formally resign.

 

Then the new PM goes to the Queen and like you say, they're asked to form a government.

What if the outgoing PM goes to The Queen and says 'you can f??ck off, I'm going nowhere' and then makes his body go all dead weight so no-one can shift him out of the corridors of power? It's probably best to cut out the middle man and let The Queen rule all on her own.

OI I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.....

 

 

 

(except with our peg) 8-[

What if the outgoing PM doesn't even bother going to the Queen and just locks himself in 10 Downing Street and starts offering other countries out?

 

Bet they haven't thought about that one

Or what if the old/new PM's have a wrestling bout like that Two Tribes video?
