When Thatcher came along she, like May, had no viable opposition and it remained the same for at least three full terms.
Thatcher was the birth mother of neoliberalism in the UK and I’m sure she legitimately thought monetaristic economic policy was a good thing. It certainly helped a lot of people in the UK, including my parents.
May is a child of Thatcher, her policies are neoliberal, but the honeymoons over. Neoliberal ideology only has a short life span. She’s in no position like Thatcher was, to role back the state and give everyone the opportunity to be prosperous. All she can do is assist the already prosperous to further their riches.
