The UK's Iron Lady is no more. With every nation having myriad politicians - good and bad, most of them fade from public memory rather quickly. The reason the whole world took note of her demise and so many people had so much to say about her, speaks enough of the impact she had. She stood by her conviction, famously saying she was not a consensus minister but a conviction minister. Her conviction in the individuals' ability to transform their life made her a vociferous proponent of free market economy, flexible labor laws and privatisation. She sought to reignite the animal spirits of an unenthusiastic nation. Her efforts bore fruit and the whole world took note of her, hailing her philosophy as Thatcherism. Her strong nationalist sentiment made UK stand against Argentina over the Falkland Islands. It's not that all she did was hailed, many of her decisions had her on yhe wrong side of people's sentiments. Nevertheless, there is plenty to learn from her and we may need leaders like her who stand firmly by their conviction and their duty towards the country.
