Subject: RE: BS: Thatcher speaks no more
As has been pointed out there never was a majority of those who voted who voted for her. That's not unusual in our system - but normally governments elected on a minority vote have some kind of recognition of the fact, and don't pretend they've got popular backing for extremist policies. (Sometimes, as with this present shower they go too far in doing things designed to appeal to the people who voted against them.)
