Thatcher didn't destroy the Tories, She won three elections. Her legacy was to transform British politics. Even her successor, John Major, won in 92 against Kinnock.. Then Blair adopted her mantle. No renationalisation, no change to her reforms in relation to the trades unions, no change to our foreign policy stance, no change to the right to buy council houses, no change to environmental policy, no change to infrastructure policies, no change to the way the NHS was funded. Really, you must be daft.
