Vote Mrs T

Tim Worstall links to a BBC poll for political hero where the choice is between

• Tony Benn
• Neil Kinnock
• Alex Salmond
• Clare Short
• Norman Tebbit
• Margaret Thatcher
• Shirley Williams

At the time of writing there are some 18600 votes cast with Mrs T and Tony Benn way out in front with approx 35% and 36% of the vote respectively. Although one can whinge about the choices and the people omitted, given that Mrs T is in second place all right thinking people should understand what they need to do.
