I don't really care about her death at this point: she's already done all the harm she could... All I'd wish is for her to stop being so revered by the British political establishment, and instead be seen for what she is. But even this is asking too much...

There was fires of joy in some areas of Quebec when Prime Minister of Quebec Maurice Duplessis died in office, I heard.

The fact that his death was effectively the only way to get rid of him kind of justified it...

Most historians estimed than he had more than 50% odds of losing at the next election. The system was beginning to crumble during his last term. It only accelerated things.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Still, dying in office is not the same as dying 20-30 years after losing power.
