More On Margaret Thatcher

Dr Hon Yuk Ching & Others

Dr. Hon : Margaret Thatcher is a divisive leader.

The NW is still hurting from the legacy of her government, in fact some Scots and Liverpullian celebrated her death!

She is the first female PM for us but she has done nothing to raise the profile of female MPs.

She's more man than most male English politicians! I'm bemused that the Conservatives kept quiet about how they kicked her out. Politicians are the most hypocritical creatures

Bob: I don't know much about Margaret Thatcher's stand on various political issues, but I believe in one thing: a good politician should have as many detractors as supporters.

A politician who have no enemies is most likely an overall nice guy (or lady) who steered clear of controversies and hadn't tackled anything of significance or made any unpopular decisions... and in my book that's not a good politician. Politicians make difficult decisions, that's what they are for.

And difficult decisions are by definition supported and opposed by nearly equal number of people.

Thus, a good politician will have enemies. Look at Lincoln, JFK, Ghandi... got the picture?
