"We are not asking for a soft life. We are asking for a fair chance."
"I am not a consensus politician. I am a conviction politician."
"It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake."
"I am not here to preside over the decline of Britain."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
