The EU deal was nothing to do with Thatcher. She never wanted the UK to join the EU and vehemently opposed the Maastricht Treaty.
She supported economic union, not political.
Comment on Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?
redders@lemmy.world 9 months agoIt’s really weird, as the whole EU deal was Margaret Thatcher’s legacy, and her own party threw it away!!!

I’m no fan of Thatcher but she did some good things during her tenure - negotiating the UK’s place in the EU and setting up Channel 4 spring to mind - and I honestly think she would be utterly devastated if she saw what her party had become today.

I think they wanted to play on the EU outage, but the didn’t actually want to leave.
