Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS (née Roberts; 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013) was a British stateswoman and politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is currently the only woman to have held the office. A Soviet journalist dubbed her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975, Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election to become Leader of the Opposition and became the first woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became Prime Minister after winning the 1979 general election.
David William Donald Cameron (/ˈkæmᵊrən/; born 9 October 1966) is an English politician who has served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2010, as Leader of the Conservative Party since 2005 and as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Witney since 2001.
Cameron studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Brasenose College, Oxford. He then joined the Conservative Research Department and became special adviser, first to Norman Lamont and then to Michael Howard. He was Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications for seven years. Cameron first stood for Parliament in Stafford in 1997. He ran on a Eurosceptic platform, breaking with his party's then-policy by opposing British membership of the single European currency, and was defeated by a swing close to the national average. He was first elected to Parliament in the 2001 general election for the Oxfordshire constituency of Witney. He was promoted to the Opposition front bench two years later and rose rapidly to become head of policy co-ordination during the 2005 general election campaign. With a public image of a youthful, moderate candidate who would appeal to young voters, he won the Conservative leadership election in 2005.

A surprisingly fedora free documentary on the ascendancy of the neoliberal/libertarian faction in the UK Conservative party,-produced by Tim Edwards,featuring the affable Dr Madsen Pirie of the Adam Smith Institute,
The Conservative Party, colloquially referred to as the Tory Party or the Tories, is a centre-right political party in the United Kingdom that states that it espouses the philosophies of conservatism and British unionism. As of 2013 it is the largest single party in the House of Commons with 305 MPs, governing in coalition with the Liberal Democrats, with David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party, as Prime Minister. It is the largest party in local government with 8,296 councillors. The Conservative Party was founded in 1834, and was one of two dominant parties in the 19th century, along with the Liberal Party. It changed its name to the Conservative and Unionist Party in 1912 after merging with the Liberal Unionist Party, although that name is rarely used and it is generally ref...
In just a little time now, you can decide who's going to run the country for the next five years. The Conservatives' long-term economic plan is building a brighter, more secure future for families across Britain. But Ed Miliband - propped up by the SNP - would put all of that at risk with more debt, more borrowing and more taxes. Britain has come so far in just five years - don't let them wreck it. On Thursday, vote to keep our economy strong and our future bright. Vote Conservative.
English/Nat Margaret Thatcher on Wednesday predicted that sleaze would drop off the election menu as Britain approached polling day. Campaigning for the ruling Conservative Party, the former prime minister said her successor John Major would soon be given the opportunity to talk about "the real issues". Baroness Thatcher visited a garden centre and a school in the south-western English town of Christchurch and warned would-be voters against her old foes - the unions. Arriving in Christchurch to a mere smattering of applause from Conservative supporters, Lady Thatcher did her bit Wednesday to rally support for Britain's ailing ruling party. The former prime minister shook hands with locals and children at a gardening centre. Despite the Tories' bad performance in the ...

This is a Tease of "theresa may conservative party conference speech" with thoughts such as: Just look at the United States, that exemplar of capitalism, where small government is celebrated (in theory if not always in practice) yet there is open pride in the flag, the national anthem, the military and shared national holidays and traditions which transcend ethnic or religious lines.

British Prime Minister Theresa May unveiled on Wednesday what she called a new "vision" for the ruling Conservatives - to serve the country by spreading wealth more evenly and becoming the party for "ordinary working-class people". May, speaking on the final day of the Conservative Party's annual conference, told members the government must tackle the problems that spurred millions of Britons to vote to leave the European Union at a referendum on June 23 - a decision she said was part of a protest against the "rich and powerful". She said she wanted a Brexit deal that offered "maximum freedom" to operate in Europe's single market, but also emphasised that she wanted control over immigration. Attacking business leaders who abused the system to accrue wealth unfairly and the accountants ...

Theresa May delivers her speech during the fourth day of the Conservative party conference in Birmingham Only the Conservatives can build a "united Britain" in which "fairness is restored" and opportunities are shared more equally, Theresa May has said. She told the party's conference the country must and would change after the "quiet revolution" of the Brexit vote. The prime minister said Labour were now seen as the "nasty party" and it was the Conservatives who would "stand up for the weak, and up to the powerful". Government should be a "force for good" to help working people, she argued. In her set-piece speech in Birmingham, she said the vote to leave the EU was a turning point in the UK's history and a "once-in-a-generation to change the country for good".

Prime Minister David Cameron speaks live at the Conservative Party Conference. Watch the full speech here.
The British Conservative party is diametrically opposed to the good of the British public and deliberately acts against their interests and then lies about the result. At this point, their motives are irrelevant. If you are not a millionaire, the Conservative Party is not your friend. Sources: http://pastebin.com/i6p4w08A
Series exploring the history of the people and ideas behind what became known as Thatcherism. This edition tells of the radicals in the political wilderness after WWII who saw the foundation of the Welfare State as the thin end of a totalitarian wedge. At first they were seen as cranks, but gradually they attracted supporters within the political mainstream. It was only when Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative party that they saw a champion.
