1. Blair, sadly
2. Brown, unfortunately
3. Cameron, horrifyingly

Thatcher, jr. doesn't get a rating yet.

Cameron, but this is mostly because I'm a young. Would've been Major if I were only a few months older.

Cameron > Blair > May > Brown

Might reverse Blair and May, since Blair comes off better since he's from the most palatable part of his party, and May is from among the least palatable of hers, while May's party is far better than Blair's in principle.

I also can't deny that Blair's leadership had a far better result than Cameron's, even if I like Cameron's goals more.

Brown is the only one I can somewhat stand.

If I had to rank

1. Brown - much better post-leadership than during his leadership.
2. Blair - yuck, but domestically (so to speak) he wasn't that bad.
3. Major - eh - better an aimless tory than a determined tory.
4. May - ew gross
5. Cameron - a disaster at every level, hilariously unraveled by his own arrogance.

The Iron Lady, the Baroness Thatcher. God rest her soul, unto eternity. There is no peer to St. Maggie except Sir Winston. She faced down evil and we are better off for it.

Cameron is probably the best Conservative Leader since Edward Heath, excepting maybe Hague.

Not to presume, but I think "good leader" in this case means "having politics like my own". I.E. like me saying Foot was the best Labour leader of the last 40 years.
