> UK before Tatcher was a depressed society with stagflation
Hardly a problem local to Britain, and hardly something Thatcher solved. It was a crisis that also passed in countries that did not elect viciously anti-state, anti-working class governments.
> crumbling infrastructure; that couldn't even clean its own streets

> Thatcher won two landslide re-elections for a reason
If it weren't for the Falklands she would have been a one term president.
