	Thatcherism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Margaret Thatcher labelled supporters of her beliefs (or Thatcherites) as 'drys', as opposed to the 'wets' (often One Nation conservatives) who opposed her policies.
		Following the recession of the early 1980s, the finance sector of Britain's economy began to revive, though it faced a second recession in the late 1980s.
		In 2001 Peter Mandelson, a member of parliament belonging to the British Labour Party closely associated with Tony Blair, famously declared that "we are all Thatcherites now".

	Margaret Thatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although she was able to attend the funeral of former US President Ronald Reagan in June 2004, her eulogy for him was pre-taped to prevent undue stress.
		She remains involved with various Thatcherite groups, including being president of the Conservative Way Forward group, which held a dinner at the Savoy Hotel in honour of the 25th Anniversary of her election.
		Critics of this view believe that the economic problems of the 1970s were exaggerated, and were caused largely by factors outside any UK government's control, such as high oil prices caused by the oil crisis which led to high inflation which damaged the economies of nearly all major industrial countries.

	The Last Amazon: Thatcherite Canadian
		We bought into the Harris Commonsense Revolution but in the end we were betrayed by the big C government of Ernie Eves and his cronies.
		Of course, as a Thatcherite Canadian of the female persuasion you have the right to administer a good handbagging to those who do go wobbly...
		Neoconservatives in the United States, at least as my understanding goes, are quite hawkish, to the point where I actually refuse to accept some of their views.

	Socialism Today - Who is Iain Duncan Smith?
		The choice presented to the Tory ranks, Duncan Smith or Clarke, was the result of the first stage of the election procedure, an exhaustive ballot of the 166 Tory MPs to select two candidates from amongst the original five contenders.
		Events in the US have put things on hold for a period, but this Thatcherite triumph is a recipe for turmoil and splits.
		Given IDS's character and the Thatcherite hold on the parliamentary party, however, reinforced by the ultra-conservative mindset of the party's ageing membership, a 'Kinnock' role appears somewhat unlikely.

	Guardian \| Barroso seeks to calm fears of a Thatcherite laissez-faire Europe
		Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European commission, yesterday tried to allay Franco-German fears that he is attempting to impose a Thatcherite vision on Europe.
		Amid mounting opposition in "old Europe" to a series of liberalising initiatives from Brussels, Mr Barroso pledged to fight against what has been dubbed the "race to the bottom" - in which wages are driven down as a free-for-all economy is introduced.
		On the other side is Britain and the new EU member states in central and eastern Europe who want to reform what they regard as Europe's hidebound economy.

	The Greatest Jeneration - Czechs elect EU critic--Good one!
		The Czech Republic's forthcoming membership of the European Union, and the stability of its government, were cast into uncertainty last night when Vaclav Klaus, a Thatcherite and Eurosceptic, snatched the presidency by the narrowest of margins.
		Mr Klaus is an ardent Thatcherite monetarist who led the effort to break up Czechoslovakia in 1992 and then presided over the economic transformation of the Czech Republic through the 1990s.
		That, combined with the "Their sky is falling in Prague!" cynicism that permeates this story and their perpetual Loony Left bias leads me to believe that the Czechs have found themselves a good man on the third try.

	A NEW RULING CLASS PARTY? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Thatcherite project seemed to have beaten off any threats to social stability brought about by economic depression.
		New Right politics in its Thatcherite form embodied an uneasy combination of neo-liberal economic and social policies with a defence of "traditional values" including nationalism.
		The latter meant that Margaret Thatcher and many of her supporters in the Tory Party were ambivalent or downright hostile to the European Union.

		I fear that, in the absence of a convincing "new socialist settlement", Labour could be sucked in by the implosion of the Thatcherite star.
		It is the tragedy of the NHS that Labour has not yet escaped from the ambivalence of Thatcher, whose original intention was to convert the NHS into a market-sector system.
		Nowhere is the imploding Thatcherite star to be seen to greater effect that in the misnamed "Private Finance Initiative".

	The Hindu : Labour & the Thatcherite ''legacy''
		PERHAPS NOTHING reflects more sharply the confused state of British politics today than the hype over the Thatcherite legacy which, one is led to believe, remains at the heart of modern Britain with its ``new'' work ethic, individual enterprise, less government and more personal freedoms.
		It was on the ruins of socialism rather than on the strength of the Thatcherite legacy that Mr.
		Ironically, while Labour is seen as carrying the Thatcherite ``torch'' the Tories are trying hard to distance themselves from it.

		Other Thatcherite policies which affected active citizenship were the privatisation of several previously publicly owned industries such British Telecom, British Gas, British Petroleum, Rover (British Leyland), British Rail and the water and electricity utilities.
		These privatisation's themselves in some ways did benefit citizens as the income the sell-offs created was used to pay for further tax cuts, a great idea for those citizens in work.

		THE ultimate 80s businessman and arch Thatcherite Lord Hanson has died from cancer.
		When the unwieldy giant fell out of favour with investors, Lord Hanson, whose personal fortune was estimated at £100m, decided in 1996 to split it into four companies: Energy Group, Millennium Chemicals, Imperial Tobacco and Hanson plc.
		The announcement was hailed as the end of an era characterised by Thatcherite excess and Lord Hanson retired the following year.

	Blair Defines Himself as a Compassionate Thatcherite
		He is a compassionate Thatcherite, a contradiction in terms that explains many of the policy confusions that have arisen since 1997.
		Home Office ministers were taken aback this week to discover that the carefully thought-through policies in their Five-Year Plan were hailed by the prime minister as the end of the 1960s consensus.
		What is more, he wants headlines that reassure the Thatcherite prejudices formed in the 1980s, never to challenge them.

		This thesis examines the development of Western European philosophy and theology as it relates to the key aspects of the Thatcherite Enterprise Culture, beginning with the Ancient Greeks and concluding with the Victorian Age of Enterprise.
		The historical review demonstrates that the Thatcherite Enterprise Culture is generally discontiguous with the tradition of religious thought, and in some instances is essentially in direct contradiction with important aspects of the tradition, such as the significance of the Incarnation.
		A review of the theological works of the Thatcherite Enterprise Culture and its critics adds to the findings of the historical examination, indicating further flaws and contradictions within Enterprise Theology.

		No, I don't think Bush is a Thatcherite when it comes to economics if that means a Friedman type.

		While he is an amusing figure, at ease talking about art or politics, Mr Flight never wavers from his Thatcherite belief in the benefits of low taxes and cutting back on government waste.
		At a meeting of the Thatcherite Conservative Way Forward group on Wednesday, Mr Flight knew he would have a sympathetic hearing when he declared that the Tories would dearly love to introduce big spending cuts if they win the election.

	Thatcherite medicine for California
		He has a Thatcherite charm deficit but -- perhaps these attributes are related -- determination to summon California, as Thatcher summoned Britain, up from infantilism.
		He has her determination to revive what she called "the vigorous virtues" -- entrepreneurship, deferral of gratification, individual initiative, personal responsibility in making appetites conform to resources.
		But if Davis is recalled he probably will be replaced by a governor who received substantially fewer votes than were cast against the recall.

		Drabbies were "deliberate and voluntary proles" who dressed shabbily and were consumed with indignation about the Thatcherite "cuts".
		They were left-leaning teachers, social workers and council officers who bought houses in up-and-coming areas but were fearful of the working class, "tearing down the lace curtains of a poor neighbourhood to make way for the macrame of Drabbitat".
		The myth of the chattering classes was the product of a Thatcherite populism that aimed to short-circuit traditional elites, speaking directly to "ordinary people" - the lower middle-class, suburban folk who were now seen as the key swing voters in elections.

		Because this is not only true, but the main reason a significant number of rich people vote for her in the first place, it was odd to see her reject it.
		Instead of Dick Spring suggesting to Mary Harney that the PD's knee-jerk unionism and naked hatred of Northern nationalists would serve only to undermine the peace process, he just agreed with her that bipartisanship was the way forward in Leinster House.
		Then the great debate resumed once more, with Dick saying the PDs were Thatcherite and Mary Harney producing a giant photo of Tony Blair, waving it at Spring like one would wave a cross at a vampire.

		His cuttingly fastidious view of gay lusts and ambition in Thatcherite Britain beat five other novels, including the runaway favourite, David Mitchell's highly touted and already high-selling Cloud Atlas.
		It has resulted in a winning novel that is exciting, brilliantly written and gets deep under the skin of the Thatcherite 80s.
		What is interesting about this book is that it demonstrates a shift in our views on the 1980s.This era now seems different to today and can therefore be written about with a sense of detachment.
