She was one of those people who manage to inspire emotion in others.

A lot of bad, but she garnered (and still does somewhat) a huge amount of respect.

For someone who has so much public hatred around her, you have to remember she still managed to win elections while all this was far more raw and happening around her.

Her election success is only because the voting system here is biased and most of the population aren't really evolved past primate level. The media control the outcome of an election.

Her popularity is a myth perpetrated by the media.

There is no respect from anyone who knows the facts.

"But that guys knows the facts and HE respects her."

"Ah, but he doesn't TRULY know the facts."

Long story short, please take your no-true-Scotsman and shove it.

Thatcher was not Hitler, but all the things you just said could also be said of Hitler. He won elections, too. So what?
