@@rjhtrucking5429 Get yours right and get some perspective. All historians agree on the fact that the poll tax was the last straw that started her downfall. The Conservative MPs couldn’t support her anymore because there was too much discontent in their constituencies. Members of the cabinet also decided that was enough. If you have a short term vision of history, her backbenchers indeed brought her down. But you’re certainly not too stupid to understand that they must have some reasons to do so. A party doesn’t disown their leader just because a whim strikes them. The poll tax was voted in 87/88 and progressively implemented in 89/90. After the poll tax was announced, opinion polls showed the Labour opposition opening a strong lead over the Conservative government. Following the Poll Tax Riots, Conservative ministers contemplated abolition of the tax but knew that, as a flagship Thatcherite policy, its abolition would not be possible while Thatcher was still Prime Minister. Kinnock had vowed to abolish the poll tax if he won the next general election. For this, among other reasons, Thatcher was challenged by Michael Heseltine for the Conservative leadership in November 1990. Although she prevailed by a margin of fifty votes, she narrowly missed the threshold to avoid a second vote, and on 22 November 1990 she announced her resignation after more than a decade in office. All three of the contenders to succeed her pledged to abandon the tax.
