How Thatcherite are you?
by Stephen Tall on April 20, 2013
“We are all Thatcherites now,” declared David Cameron on the morning of Margaret Thatcher’s funeral. Not so, said Nick Clegg:
“He’s the leader of the Conservative Party he’s perfectly entitled to say that. I certainly wouldn’t call myself a Thatcherite. I’m a Liberal, she wasn’t a Liberal. I’ve always called myself a Liberal, I always will.”
Do you think you’re a Thatcherite? Well, the Daily Telegraph has devised a test to help you find out: you’re 10 questions away from finding out on how much you and The Lady (dis)agreed. You can take it here.
And yes, before anyone takes to the comments section below to complain: some of the questions will likely trip up Liberal Democrats who’ll respond, “I don’t agree with any of those bloody options.” (Especially question 5.) It’s just a bit of fun. And, for the record, I got 40%.
