I have to state that I do not like Thatch, or her policies, or her party (then and now), her ideals, anything.

But
She was a hugely popular leader. She was a very succesful leader - only brought down by her own arrogance.

A lot of people are going to want to celebrate her life, and mourn her death - so let them.

How do you measure popularity and success?

Course - there are several successful people who have their achievements through the various minions they have stepped on.

I seem to recall a certain chancellor of the early thirties was elected.
