Who was our last decent Prime Minister? 15:37 - Mar 26 with 6430 views | Coastalblue | I realise that political divide will flavour people's judgements but are there any in more recent times who can transcend that to be considered good by people from all persuasions? My adult life started with Maggie and I don't think we've had a decent PM in all that time, the only one I probably liked in any way was Major but I can't imagine too many agreeing. Going back before my time? Attlee? | |

Who was our last decent Prime Minister? on 15:43 - Mar 26 with 3471 views | Steve_M | Brown. Not perfect but able to rise to the global financial crisis. Blair, Major and Thatcher were all good Prime Ministers. None without fault either but so far above today's sh1tshow. | |

Churchill was a good war leader but he was a very bad person in general, and his second term was not good. Kenya. | |

I'd have to remove Thatcher from that list Steve but Brown, Blair and Major were all good/ very good (not perfect as you say). | |

Perfect for the war, less so, as you say, second time around. | |

That's why I said 'at times'. Blair had Iraq, Cameron had the referendum. | |

Who was our last decent Prime Minister? on 16:23 - Mar 26 with 3315 views | Clapham_Junction | Gordon Brown, on the basis that I think he was the last PM to genuinely care about people. Must have been awful for him to have to hand over the keys of number 10 to his successor, knowing what they were likely to do to the country. | | | |

I would agree about Blair and Cameron - Blair came in at a time when the economy was doing well and the country felt good about itself Cameron with the help of Clegg steadied the ship and between them they made a lot of positive changes that you wouldn't normally get under a Tory (Right) Government Obviously both lost their legacy with some very poor decisions but neither were massively out of the depths unlike most of the others in my time (Maggie being my first - and she made some horrendous mistakes) | | | |

Harold Wilson. Clem Atlee. David Lloyd George. Stanley Baldwin. Gladstone. All of these were far, far more skilled at the 'dark arts' of politics. And, of course, Harold Wilson had a brain the size of a planet. | |
