Rejected petition Honour Margaret Thatcher as Britain's First Female Prime Minister

Margaret Thatcher was Britain's first female Prime Minister.
She broke the glass ceiling for all women by becoming the first female leader of her party and ultimately Prime Minister. Previous leaders of the party had all been male.
We believe her achievements should be honoured.

Parliament should mark the achievements of Margaret Thatcher with a statue outside Parliament.
