In what ways did Mrs Thatcher change Britain whilst she was prime minister?
Margaret Thatcher's biggest change was in attitude. Baroness Thatcher took the U.K from a 'this will do attitude' to a 'can do force'. I did not agree with all her politics. In fact I was on the Miners picket line at Didcot Power Station and took part in protests. However, she was right to want to change the grip the Unions had on the U.K's economy. The U.K needs another Maggie. Rightly or wrongly she had a passion for the U.K and a firm idea of how to ensure the U.K was a movement for change in the World. Now the U.K is a ship without a rudder - and boats sink when they hit the rocks.
Do British Prime Ministers have term limits and if so why was Thatcher in office so long?
The British Government has to call a General Election every four or, at the maximum, five years. British Prime Ministers do not have term limits as US Presidents have, they can remain in power for as long as they are supported by public opinion and the confidence that their own party has in their leadership. Margaret Thatcher was in power for so long because she had the majority support of the Conservative Party, and also because the opposition Labour Party was weak and in disarray at the time. She was finally forced to resign in November 1990 because of the overwhelming opposition to the Poll Tax (basically, a tax for a person's very existence!) both from the British public at large and from within her own Party.
