Young Voters choose Dame Thatcher

Britain needs Margaret Thatcher': Voters aged 18 to 24 choose the Iron Lady as the best former Prime Minister to be in charge of tackling Covid-19 and Brexit

They weren't born until years after she had lost power, but the young adults dubbed Generation Z wish Maggie Thatcher was still around to sort out Covid and Brexit.

Even in Scotland, where she was reviled by many during her term as PM between 1979 and 1990, voters yearn for her resolute approach.


They are the findings of an online survey of 2,000 people by JL Partners which asked voters which of Britain's eight previous prime ministers dating back to 1976 they wish was here to tackle the crises faced by the UK in 2020.

A total of 32 per cent favoured Mrs Thatcher, followed by Tony Blair on 11 per cent. Surprisingly, she also came top among 18 to 24-year-olds – Generation Z

A total of 15 per cent of this group chose the Iron Lady – who died in 2013 – putting her in first place.

She came out of necessity when the government were too wishy washy to run the country properly. The same could happen today.

 

Thatcher, was all about the 'me' philosophy, and regardless of any advice from cabinet/ministers/scientists would be ignored if it didn't sit well with her.
And, I've no doubt she would, - send Warships into the channel

 

This comes from - " Voters aged 18 to 24" - For goodness sake - they weren't around. to know the hard truth

 

So those young people are coming through good with lots of intelligence and common sense after all.
Well done.

Margaret Thatcher was the greatest Prime Minister that ever lived as far as I am concerned.

 

I agree The Daily Mail is a Tory Propaganda Paper. I wouldnt even call it a newspaper . it rivals The Sun lol .

 

So, basically everyone that got to retirement age and doesnt have money, mainly due to drugs and alcohol hates Thatcher, like somehow its her fault

Everyone that worked hard their whole life and tucked away money loves Thatcher

Okey Dokey then, thats what I thought

 

Crawl back into your cave, pink poodle, you know nothing of the damage she inflicted on the working class here in the uk and the hatred we had of her that persists even to this day with those of us who lived through that period.

 

You might want to tell that to the youth of the UK, seems they disagree

 

Only because the education system doesn't teach 'modern history', but yes I do talk to teenagers about those times when given the opportunity to do so !!!
