Was Margaret Thatcher Britian's best PM of the 20th century?

Was Margaret Thatcher the best British pm of the 20th century? Concidering how she helped the UK and British workers and families, and made Britian very powerful, i think she was the best..
I don't think she would have put Britian on America's leash, as did Tony Blair with his poodle like pandering to American president GW Bush.
She may have been friendly with Ronald Regan, but at no time did she ever allow American interests to dominate over British interests..

How will history judge her performance?

How do members of her own party regard her?

She was one of the most fiscally conservative and responsible pms in recent years, and was not apt to waste tax dollars on innane projects...

Although Margaret Thatcher did a couple of useful things in her first 2 years as PM overall she was about the worst of the 20th century; she created the false illusion of a powerful Britain while waging war on and mass murdering an Argentinian force mostly made up of teenagers and untrained personnel, during the Falklands War. British workers saw most of their manufacturing industry closed down during her time, and suffered a huge decline in wages and conditions. Her unmerciless civil war fought against the coal mining industry, during which the Police were used as a para military force to prevent miners from protesting against mine closures, showed her utter contempt for civil liberties. Schools were so starved of funding by Thatcher's government that in places children were forced to share text books and the actual school buildings started crumbling and collapsing too. In saying there is no such thing as Society she encouraged the greed and extreme materialism and anti social behaviour that controls the life of Britain today and causes so much unhappiness and despair. Her economic policies caused massive booms followed by massive recessions, during which people lost their jobs and homes. Her time in power brutalised and scarred Britain forever.
The two best Prime Ministers of my lifetime were Harold Macmillan (Conservative) and Harold Wilson (Labour). Macmillan was a rather unimaginative one nation Tory who surrounded himself with powerful intellectuals like Iain MacLeod and Rab Butler; he tried hard to create a civilised Britain with good housing and healthcare. Harold Wilson was a peacemaker and a moderate; he failed in his quest to make peace with the Trade Unions by bringing the TUC general secretary into the cabinet but at least he tried to change things for the better through peaceful co-operation rather than confrontation. He successfully resisted the American government's pleas for Britain to become involved with and to send armed forces to the Vietnam war, and I salute him for that.

he,he,he,ha,ha,ha... awh... come on... NOBODY IS THAT STUPID.!

She singlehandedly destroyed the colliery industry and the pound note and saddled people with the chunnel...

ha,ha,ha... best PM... INDEED! Just HOW OLD ARE YOU? because you sound like these children who think Hillary would be a good president because they were TOO YOUNG to remember the Clinton years... and I suspect you are too young to remember the Thatcher years

Agree or disagree with her policies. I admire her for sticking to what she believed in. Nowadays politicians have no substance, its all about spin.

Two words for you:

Miners' strike


Her unrelenting, almost obsessive manner caused the country to grind to a halt. Power by force is never the answer
