Who did Margaret thatcher replace as leader of the conservative party?
Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975, following a poll of her fellow Conservative MP's beating former PM Ted Heath. She had never been considered for the leadership before this, and had actually declared that she did not think there would be a woman Prime Minister in her lifetime. It was when Heath refused to step down that the Tories had to organise a 2-stage ballot, where the front-runners were asked to stand aside first time round, so that the anti-Heath votes could be concentrated on one candidate, who was clearly meant to be a stalking-horse. They chose Thatcher for this, as she was the only candidate of Ministerial rank who had no chance of actually getting elected - being a woman. But to everyone's surprise, many backbenchers decided to vote for her in the second ballot, and she became the first-ever woman party leader - to the fury of Labour, who felt that this honour would fall to one of theirs.
