Plot synopsis
As head of government, Margaret Thatcher carried out political and economic reforms to reverse what she saw as the country's decline. Her political philosophy and economic policies were based on deregulation, particularly of the financial system, providing a flexible labour market, privatising state-owned companies and reducing the influence of trade unions. Thatcher's high popularity during her early years in office was eroded by the recession and high unemployment, but increased again during the 1982 Falklands War and economic growth, leading to her re-election in 1983.
Thatcher was re-elected for a third time in 1987, but her proposed poll tax and views on Britain's role in the European Union were unpopular with members of her government. After Michael Heseltine challenged her for the leadership of the party, Thatcher was forced to resign as party leader and prime minister.
