However, her domineering attitude and stubborn behaviours certainly led to her downfall - even her own folks got fed up with her and turfed her out in the end. There is no doubt in my mind that she caused a lot of damage and heartbreak to a lot of people in this country.
And look at what rubbish followed her departure!

The privatisation program was more about freeing industry from political interference thus significantly improving efficiency and free market investment that was desperately needed but unaffordable by the country for a variety of reasons, virtually all because of actions taken by previous Socialist and quasi-Socialist governments.
