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.

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.

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
