Mr. Nordin, while you are entitled to your own opinion you are not entitled to your own facts. Britain was in the throes of a steady economic decline when she came to power and she turned things around dramatically by, in part, privatizing sclerotic publicly held companies (witness Britains once-thriving auto industry that was essentilally gone when she came to power) and set in motion significant economic growth and income growth for all workers. Just because she did not 'privatize' Britain's National Healthcare system, which has always enjoyed significant popular support in Britain, does not de facto means that she was not a conservative, though I believe she proposed some reform of the program. JUst because she supported the public pension system doesn't mean that she wasn't conservative. Just because she didn't cut taxes to American levels or below doesn't meant that she was not conservative. As far as the collapse of the SOviet Union is concerned, you are completely off base. It's typical for liberals to try to re-write history, especially when it comes to SOviet Union and that would be because they were wrong from day one about the nature of the Soviet system so it's convenient to now say that "well it was on its way to collapse". That's complete bunk. Reagan, Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and Pope John Paul II were instrumental in bringing down the Soviet Union. Any objective view of Thatcher's governance would conclude that she was a conservative and governed as such.
