Are you serious? I hope I'm reading this the wrong way but are you saying that the reason Thatcher was a bad Prime Minister was because she's a woman? And that the political parties here are wise not to have another woman as party leader because of her?
I never liked Thatcher but the reasons why she wasn't a good PM have nothing to do with her gender. In fact Palin reminds me a lot of Thatcher, because Thatcher hardly did anything positive for women while she was in power.
