Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the UK from May 1979 to November 1990, was a great reformist. While some of her reforms were popular, others were not. Her poll-tax policy of 1990 resulted in large-scale protests and rioting, and this, together with her opposition to further British integration into the European Community, alienated members of her own party. In November 1990, she failed to received a majority in the Conservative Party's annual vote for selection of a leader. Thus, she resigned in November 1990.
