As for a state funeral, not sure really .. maybe not, would set some sort of prerogative. Wouldn't vote on this poll anyway .. don't like the way the questions are put. Which Prime Minister does not divide a country anyway ?
I couldn’t see Blair or Brown doing what Maggie did. In any case they would have had to get permission from the states first.

Maggie does have one thing going for her though. She left Ted Heath with egg on his face but I guess he got the last laugh when she was dumped.
