Heath, followed by Major.

Hasn't it been confirmed Heath raped boys? So I guess Major.

These claims have been discredited, with the source of the investigation, the fantasist Carl Beech, having been imprisoned last year for perverting the course of justice and child sex offences himself. They were tied in with ‘satanic panic’ allegations.

Write-in: Ken Clarke, Tory leader of my heart.

Else, Heath, then Major.

John Major due to pro-Europeanism.

I wouldn't mark you as a Thatcherite. Interesting.

Actually, Thatcher is one of my all time favorite historical leaders. Sure, Thatcherism (and capitalism in general) has its excesses, but the libertarian in me still vastly favors capitalism as superior to socialism. While I believe the basic sustainers of human life (healthcare, food, water, education, etc) should be available to all, I don't believe in the distribution of personal wealth that is legitimately gained.

I was a hardcore Ayn Rand fan in 2012-2013, and I continue to insist that Ayn Rand's We the Living is the most influential book I've ever read.

Out of curiosity, when you were a hardcore Ayn Rand fan, were you a white nationalist? Because she talked an awful lot like a eugenicist for an “individualist”.

No. Ayn Rand called racism “the lowest form of collectivism.” Maybe your committee should investigate that.

Interesting. I just find that the average Thatcherite people in the US are people you dislike. People like Paul Ryan for instance, people who focus on cutting safety nets to the bone and privatizations, like Thatcher. And like Thatcher, usually are neo-conservatives on foreign policy.
