Blair because Ive known him most and he is very charismatic. Which I personally think is important for a leader. Important decisions are not just made by the Prime minister themselves.

Not a fan of David Cameron. Has he any clue what he's doing?

Not really bothered at all, I have only lived through 4,Major, Blair, Brown and now Cameron and really there is little to choose between any of them.Forced to choose one of them I would likely choose Blair for his first 6 years in power.

From studying political history since Elizabeth's 11 accession to the throne, I would likely list Wilson and Thatcher as the best and strongest PMs for different reasons, Wilson was the sort of PM needed for the 1960s and Thatcher was badly needed to restore order from total chaos and reform Union powers.

Redway,I am not being picky here at all, it is a good poll and well done to you for doing it, You have though missed one PM out, Winston Churchill was PM when the Queen came to the throne and he handed over to Anthony Eden for the 1955 election.

A lot of people on here, myself included, wouldn't have been alive for quite some time after Elizabeth 2.

Tony Blair because he is the only prime minister I actually knew about considering he still was PM when I left England.

Well there's only been the three that I know anything about in recent times - Blair, Brown & Cameron - and I wouldn't pick any of them. If it wasn't just during the Queens reign I'd pick Bonar Law - what a name!

I don't see why so many people have it in for Margaret Thatcher. Every PM has their individual faults. You have to remember the good she brought in.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher

Quote:
Thatcher's premiership was also marked by high unemployment and social unrest, and many critics fault her economic policies for the unemployment level; many of the areas affected by high unemployment as a result of her monetarist economic policies have still not fully recovered and are also blighted by social problems including drug abuse and family breakdown. Thatcher insisted she had no regrets, and was right to introduce the poll tax and to remove subsidies from "outdated industries, whose markets were in terminal decline".

Despite being Britain's first woman Prime Minister, Thatcher did little to advance the political cause of women, either within her party or the government.

The term "Thatcherism" came to refer to her policies as well as aspects of her ethical outlook and personal style, including moral absolutism, nationalism, interest in the individual, and an uncompromising approach to achieving political goals.
Oh, and she took us into a highly expensive and totally unnecessary war, the negative repurcussions of which are still being felt to this day .....
