Who has been the greatest Prime Minister of your lifetime?
 

Genuinely interested in the results. I was too young to remember Major, I'd probably go Cameron.

Thatcher

Cameron/Major

No contest, Thatcher, and by no small margin.

I'm too young to remember major so my choices are from Blair to May.... of those choices I would say Cameron.

Well I accidentally vote Blair so there's that.

:joker:

who did you "think" you were voting for in the election :joker:

Douglas-Home 1963-1964
Macmillan 1957-1963
Eden 1955-1957
Churchill 1951-1955

Its good to make Neem feel included :love:

Well I was going for Cameron but really was paying attention to the screen, now I'm the one vote for Blair.

you could have hit Brown :umm2: so, every cloud..

Major was PM when I was born.

I don't really think there has been a good all rounder.
I voted Major,as I think he tried to mellow the bad image after Margaret Thatcher.
Had he got a bigger majority in 1992,I think he'd have done much better.

Equally so,the other way,with a much smaller majority perhaps Tony Blair would have done better

The last 3 Brown, poor, Cameron,poor and this one Mrs May,likely the worst PM,not only in my lifetime but probably ever in my view.

genuinely possible

I was born in 1990 so my selection is complete trash. None of them deserve to be seen as good even in a vote amongst themselves.

Smith, you forgot him :(

Wow they've all been ****. I would have said Blair if it wasn't for the Iraq war. I'd never vote for a Tory for anything so brown was the only one left to pick.

David Lloyd George ...and yes I really am that old

Hmmm, I would have to go with Mrs Thatcher.
Not so much in popularity or charisma wise, but that woman knew how to get things done and took no crap from anyone.
Shame she ended up far too power crazed and wouldn't listen to her ministers (or anyone else come to think of it).

Not exactly a huge choice for my generation. Also I didn't think Brown lasted that long. Well there we are.

theres 2 ways to look at maggie thatcher milk snatcher
1) she took over a country struggling economically with trade union strikes etc
2) she sold everything short term gain now we are all suffering the long term pain i.e. millions and millions of industrial jobs gone replaced by unemployment in the industrial areas..unemployment drink drugs crime debt and relying on the russians and others for the energy we should be able to supply ourselves

None they were all shyte esp Heath the perv !

Now he was someone i was looking forward to being a good Prime Minster - so sad he never got the chance - good bloke i liked him.

I think the lesson is they are all bad because they get blamed for too much when really they dont actually do that much.

Can't believe anyone said Blair.

I used to like Blair up until his decision to take us to war.. but I've forgot why. His entire time is just overshadowed by that to me.

In my lifetime so far The two who will be remembered by history are Thatcher and Blair. Neither for good reasons, though.

The most reasonable, sensible and likeable - if somewhat boring - is Major.

You would have to be 95 to be born in the same year of his last year in office?

i quite liked david cameron

Well there's that. Bush / Blair will forever take the blame for Iraq, but the reality is the war would have happened - with very few differences - no matter who was prez / PM at the time.

*cough Cameron :umm2:

its an argument and it could be true, it could have been a war of its time and circumstances

Clicked wrong - meant to vote for Brown. Like him the most of what I've been alive for (Major onwards).

It's all a matter of comparison really. I mean I thought Cameron was awful until we got May... In hindsight I can see that the worst part of Cameron was actually George Osbourne. Cameron himself was an OK talking head... He at least seemed mostly human.

I'd have to say Blair, though I'm not overly fond of any of the prime ministers in my lifetime tbh

Callaghan was the first.. the rest are.as paedophilliacly bad.
