name = "Thatcher Resignation"
desc = "The Conservative party has been in power for 12 long years with their dominating leader Margaret Thatcher seemingly in firm control of the reigns. However by 1990 the Cold War was, for all intents and purposes, over and many party members saw Thatcher as a left over relic. Europe was now eager to unify and stat reform, heading towards an eventual European superstate of some sort. To say this issue divided the Conservative party would be a groos understatement; seemingly every MP held a different opinion on how it should be approached. When in 1990 Michael Heseltine challenged Thatcher for the party leadership Thatcher won the ballot, but had too small a majority to win outright. With many party members declaring their intention to change sides and vote for Heseltine in the next ballot and even members of her own cabinet openly declaring their support for Heseltine, Thatcher decided her time was up and resigned. It was the end of an era in British politics that, despite your personal disposition towards the polices enacted during her tenure, was certainly unique."
