Churchill, for his resolve and incredible resilience during the war. Thatcher second.

I picked Churchill because of his views on race and culture and his support for the welfare state and nationalisation of key industries.

I also voted Churchill but certainly not for the spurious nonsense you have mentioned. I voted for him because of what he did in WWII. Otherwise Attlee, Lloyd George, MacDonald and Thatcher all made enormously significant decisions for the benefit of the UK. They all made many terrible decisions as well.

What do you mean "spurious"?
Everything mentioned above about him is true.

The Conservative party didnt oppose Nationalisation till the election of the Gladstonian Liberal Thatcher.
As for the Welfare state Winston was all for it.

I don't know why you profess to dislike socialists because everything you say makes me think that you are one, just a socialist with a distinctly nationalistic flavour. :shock:

If backing Nationalisation of key strategic industries makes you a Socialist then we would have to say Winston Churchill, Stanley Baldwin, Edward Heath, Neville Chamberlain, General Franco and Vladamir Putin where all Socialists.
