I think her biggest error was selling off the utilities sauch as Gas etc at near rock bottom cost to help screen over the economic incompetence of her Govt. promising that with competition fuel and energy would be far cheaper in the future, that would seem to have been a 'fanciful' belief on her part at the very best.

Also the Scots are very fair minded people, the Conservative party did rather well in Scotland a lot of the time until she became PM,then they turned strongly against her and the Conservative party.that was likely because she badly used the oil revenues from Scotland and also tested policies out on the Scots,very unpopular policies too.

It can be a good thing to be hard when it's necessary, she showed little in the way of compromise and eventually it would seem that lack of compromise was the thing that brought her own party to stab her in the back and get rid of her at the first real clear opportunity.

I admired her stance on Europe definately, she however presided over and helped worsen an even greater North-South divide in the UK and she instilled a greed into people where they were alright and to blazes with the,(especially weaker), others.
History will eventually judge her as extreme right wing and divisive figure with a poor legacy,obviously a PM who did good and necessary things as well but who overall created a massive divide in the Nation as to regions and wealth too.
