    Maybe the best way to answer that is to reverse this question somewhat. Which leader of Estonia was a right bastard? In your opinion...

     

    Well, actually I don't see being right-wing supporter as a crime. I believe that country with lower taxes and higher entrepreneurial freedom is a key to higher happiness among the country. I don't think that country with high taxes and high social payments works in long term. We, Europeans, should know that that kind of politics will lead us to crisis. Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries have shown that sooner or later living over your abilities will bring you crisis.

     

    In Estonia we have been under a right-wing covernment about 10 years now. If you read the news then you can see, that having this kind of politics will keep us in a very good financial status. Ofcourse Estonians aren't the richest people in the world, but at least our country is stable. If all EU countries would have followed the rules, then I think EU wouldn't be in such a crisis now. People don't understand that there is now shortcut to wealth. Everything must come thorugh hard work and time.

     

    Continuous borrowing leads to crisis!

     

    (If you want to educate yourself about Estonian economics then this would be a good article to start: http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-16338542)

     

    What is your view of her, from an overseas perspective?

     

    In Estonia people don't know much about UK-s politics but as far as I know, Maggie is one of the few who almost everyone knows. I believe that when Thatcher dies then Estonians will see it as a big and sad death, because "she has done so much" and "she is so famous for some reasons". I think Estonians think in general that Thatcher led UK to bigger wealth and happiness.

     

    I'm sorry for my bad English.
