I'm American, so I'm not entirely certain, but she was the Prime Minister of GB a few years ago for something like 11 days? I don't remember, but she famously was outlasted by a head of lettuce not withering before her term in office did. The Queen met her and dropped dead. I have the impression she wanted to be another Maggie Thatcher.
Was she voted in or was she handed the position due to someone quitting.
That's what happened in Canada with Kim Campbell and she was voted out at the first election, and same now with Mark Carney, he is the PM now but was not voted in, so we will vote on the 28th to see.
But it does seem like Thatcher and Regan types are back in style.
