Frases de Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baronesa Thatcher de Kesteven LG, OM, PC, FRS foi uma política britânica, primeira-ministra do Reino Unido de 1979 a 1990.

Nascida Margaret Roberts em Grantham, Lincolnshire, Thatcher estudou ciências químicas na Universidade de Oxford antes de se qualificar como barrister. Nas eleições gerais de 1959 no Reino Unido ela foi eleita parlamentar pela região de Finchley. Edward Heath nomeou Thatcher secretária do Departamento de Educação e Habilidades em seu governo de 1970. Em 1975 ela foi eleita líder do Partido Conservador, sendo a primeira mulher a liderar um dos principais partidos do Reino Unido, e em 1979 ela se tornou a primeira mulher a ser primeira-ministra do Reino Unido.

Ao liderar o governo do Reino Unido, Thatcher estava determinada a reverter o que via como o declínio nacional de seu país. Suas políticas econômicas foram centradas na desregulamentação do setor financeiro, na flexibilização do mercado de trabalho e na privatização das empresas estatais. Sua popularidade esteve baixa em meio à recessão econômica iniciada com a Crise do petróleo de 1979; no entanto, uma rápida recuperação econômica, além da vitória britânica na Guerra das Malvinas, fizeram ressurgir o apoio necessário para sua reeleição em 1983.

Devido ao fato de Thatcher ter sobrevivido a uma tentativa de assassinato em 1984, de sua dura oposição aos sindicatos e de sua forte crítica à União Soviética, foi alcunhada de "Dama de Ferro". Thatcher foi reeleita para um terceiro mandato em 1987, mas sua impopular visão crítica à criação da União Europeia lhe fez perder apoio em seu partido, renunciando aos cargos de primeira-ministra e líder do partido em 1990.

Thatcher tinha um título vitalício de pariato como Baronesa Thatcher de Kesteven, o que lhe garantia um assento na Câmara dos Lordes.

Margaret Thatcher Frases famosas

“Deixe-me dizer em que acredito: no direito do homem de trabalhar como quiser, de gastar o que ganha, de ser dono de suas propriedades e de ter o Estado para lhe servir e não como seu dono. Essa é a essência de um país livre, e dessas liberdades dependem todas as outras.”

“In our United Kingdom, the main terrorist threat has come from the IRA. Their minds twisted by hatred and fanaticism, they have tried to bomb and murder their way to their objective of tearing more than a million citizens out of the United Kingdom. The truth is that the whole IRA campaign is based on crushing democracy and smashing anyone who doesn't agree with them. To all those who have suffered so much at their hands—to the Northern Ireland policemen and prison officers and their families, to the soldiers, the judges, the civil servants and their families—we offer our deepest admiration and thanks for defending democracy and for facing danger while keeping within the rule of law—unlike the terrorist who skulks in the shadows and shoots to kill…we will never give up the search for more effective ways of defeating the IRA. If the IRA think they can weary us or frighten us, they have made a terrible miscalculation. People sometimes say that it is wrong to use the word never in politics, I disagree, some things are of such fundamental importance that no other word is appropriate. So I say once again today that this Government will never surrender to the IRA. Never.”

“For generations, we have assumed that the efforts of mankind would leave the fundamental equilibrium of the world's systems and atmosphere stable. But it is possible that with all these enormous changes (population, agricultural, use of fossil fuels) concentrated into such a short period of time, we have unwittingly begun a massive experiment with the system of this planet itself…the increase in the greenhouse gases…has led some to fear that we are creating a global heat trap which could lead to climatic instability.”

“The significance of the Falklands War was enormous, both for Britain's self-confidence and for our standing in the world…We had come to be seen by both friends and enemies as a nation which lacked the will and the capability to defend its interests in peace, let alone in war. Victory in the Falklands changed that. Everywhere I went after the war, Britain's name meant something more than it had. The war also had real importance in relations between East and West: years later I was told by a Russian general that the Soviets had been firmly convinced that we would not fight for the Falklands, and that if we did fight we would lose. We proved them wrong on both counts, and they did not forget the fact.”

“All too often the ills of this country are passed off as those of society. Similarly, when action is required, society is called upon to act. But society as such does not exist except as a concept. Society is made up of people. It is people who have duties and beliefs and resolve. It is people who get things done. She prefers to think in terms of the acts of individuals and families as the real sinews of society rather than of society as an abstract concept. Her approach to society reflects her fundamental belief in personal responsibility and choice. To leave things to ‘society’ is to run away from the real decisions, practical responsibility and effective action.”

A transcript of the interview http://www.margaretthatcher.org/speeches/displaydocument.asp?docid=106689 at the Margaret Thatcher Foundation website differs in several particulars, but not in substance. The magazine transposed the statement in bold, often quoted out of context, from a later portion of Thatcher's remarks:

“It has been my strategy, believing passionately as I do in what we stand for, to take a different direction, to make people see that was the better direction; for us to stay in power long enough to make the Labour Party realise that their policies will never be re-elected and they must do a fundamental reappraisal of their policies and start two generations later what Gaitskell wanted to do but failed…I myself do not think one more push will be quite enough…I think you are likely to have it much more up nearer towards the year 2000, then you will have the fundamental realignment that should have been brought about half a century before.”

“No-one in their senses wants nuclear weapons for their own sake, but equally, no responsible prime minister could take the colossal gamble of giving up our nuclear defences while our greatest potential enemy kept their's. Policies which would throw out all American nuclear bases…would wreck NATO and leave us totally isolated from our friends in the United States, and friends they are. No nation in history has ever shouldered a greater burden nor shouldered it more willingly nor more generously than the United States. This Party is pro-American. And we must constantly remind people what the defence policy of the [Labour] Party would mean. Their idea that by giving up our nuclear deterrent, we could somehow escape the result of a nuclear war elsewhere is nonsense, and it is a delusion to assume that conventional weapons are sufficient defence against nuclear attack. And do not let anyone slip into the habit of thinking that conventional war in Europe is some kind of comfortable option. With a huge array of modern weapons held by the Soviet Union, including chemical weapons in large quantities, it would be a cruel and terrible conflict. The truth is that possession of the nuclear deterrent has prevented not only nuclear war but also conventional war and to us, peace is precious beyond price. We are the true peace party.”

“In the desperate situation of Britain today, our party needs the support of all who value the traditional ideals of Toryism: compassion, and concern for the individual and his freedom; opposition to excessive State power; the right of the enterprising, the hard-working and the thrifty to succeed and to reap the rewards of success and pass some of them on to their children; encouragement of that infinite diversity of choice that is an essential of freedom; the defence of widely-distributed private property against the Socialist State; the right of a man to work without oppression by either employer or trade union boss. There is a widespread feeling in the country that the Conservative party has not defended these ideals explicitly and toughly enough, so that Britain is set on a course towards inevitable Socialist mediocrity. That course must not only be halted, it must be reversed.”
