I tend to agree this discussion has gone far enough - I will leave Jon's
last comment to stand.

No we don't get soc.talk.politics here which is why political 
discussions involving Brits tend to crop up all over the place.
(If this is because the news groups we get are supposed to be 
restricted to those that might be of professional use why do we get
all those obscure rec.music ones ???).

One last point though - the majority did NOT vote for Maggie.
The Conservative Party landslide victory was entirely the fault
of our voting system which distorts the results. About 41% voted
for Conservative Party candidates.
