Civilisation britannique | Margaret Thatcher
The UK's First Female Prime Minister


Margaret Thatcher's Biography

Margaret Thatcher, the United Kingdom’s first female prime minister, served from 1979 until 1990. During her time in office, she reduced the influence of trade unions, privatized certain industries, scaled back public benefits and changed the terms of political debate. Nicknamed the “Iron Lady,” she opposed Soviet communism and fought a war to maintain control of the Falkland Islands. The longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century, Thatcher was eventually pressured into resigning by members of her own Conservative Party. [ source : History.com ]

Margaret Thatcher and The European Union

Photo
 "We believe in a free Europe, not a standardised Europe. Diminish that variety within the member states, and you impoverish the whole community. We insist that the institutions of the European Community are managed so that they increase the liberty of the individual throughout the Continent. These institutions must not be permitted to dwindle into bureaucracy. Whenever they fail to enlarge freedom the institutions should be criticised and the balance restored." - July 1979.

The British Prime Minister delivered this speech in the House of Commons on October 30th, 1990 rejecting greater central control in Europe
"The President of the Commission, Mr. Delors, said at a press conference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the Community, he wanted the Commission to be the Executive and he wanted the Council of Ministers to be the Senate. No. No. No."
