View source for Thatcherite

A '''Thatcherite''' is a [[British Conservative]] who supports the political approach spearheaded by former Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]]. The UK Conservative Party is largely split between two groups - Liberals who want to move the party more to the center and more in line with European 'Christian Democratic' parties and Thatcherites who want to the see the former Prime Ministers ethos re-inserted into the party. The parties leader, [[David Cameron]] is very much from the modernist, [[William Hague]] school of thought and many conservatives have been driven from the party. It is generally accepted that the [[UK Independence Party]] is a more accurate representation of British Conservative principles.
