Does every politically-based thread on Mudcat have to come down to a discussion(?) about Thatcher?

The opening question is general and one which,by and large, I agree with.

There are exceptions, Barrack Obama is quite possibly one of them, but there are far more examples where it's true. Robert Mugabe, Chairman Mao are two candidates.

How about a discussion as to whether or not this is the case and, possibly, could it ever be different?
