Margaret Thatcher has narrowly beaten David Cameron to be named the worst prime minister of the past 100 years by historical writers.
The Historical Writers’ Association surveyed its membership on their _iews of the 19 prime ministers who have led the UK since 1916, in advance both of this year’s Harrogate History festival later this week, and Theresa May’s 100th day in office on 22 October. Thatcher, who died in 2013, came in first with 24% of the vote, followed by Cameron (22%) and Neville Chamberlain (17%). |

Thatcher may have been the most devisive PM but I rate Blair the least trustworthy, Brown the least competent and Cameron the most irresponsible!
As for Major I rate him the most honest - therein lay his weakness as PM! |

"History suggests all political careers end in failure.....  "
What about JFK his policy career ended when 99.99% of the population loved him.
Pity the 0.01% had guns |

In politics he was a success.
In the same way Nelson was successful at trafalgar the battle he died in.
I only measure people by their achievements not how they died
