Under Her Majesty's realm there have been 12 Prime Ministers.
Was wondering from a NSC perspective, who people thought is the best Prime Minister. If you could give a mark out of 10 for each PM (no minus marks) & to try to score them as to their contribution to the nation, economy, wealth of the nation, policies at home & abroad and to try and be non political. Appreciate, that for many of us, we will only know of the PMs from history books & opinions gathered from those who were around at the time - so you don't need to score each PM.
At the end of each day, I will tot up the scores - for the running poll.
Here is the list:
Sir Winston Churchill 1952-1955
Sir Anthony Eden 1955-1957
Harold Macmillan 1957-1963
Sir Alec Douglas-Home 1963-1964
Harold Wilson 1964-1970 & 1974-1976
Edward Heath 1970-1974
James Callaghan 1976-1979
Margaret Thatcher 1979-1990
John Major 1990-1997
Tony Blair 1997-2007
Gordon Brown 2007-2010
David Cameron 2010-present
