We live in a democracy where the votes of millions of people remove a Government from power and transfer power elsewhere.
30 years ago today this happened and resulted in our first female PM.
So what is so amazing.
Have you not considered that there has only been one such transfer of power in the 30 years since...
In the 30 years before that it happened no less than 4 times:
Atlee gave way to Churchill
Douglas Home gave way to Wilson
Wilson to Heath
Heath back to Wilson.
So in a period of 60 years there has been just 6 transfers of power.
It is a rare event and one getting rarer. Those who dont vote and participate in this ultimate demonstration of people power should be ashamed of themselves.
