Basically your problem with her is that she is not a hardcore socialist. It may surprise you to know that many people do not support state ownership of industry. It has a rather dubious track record. You might consider studying the demise of the Soviet Union for a good example of the long term results of state ownership. Thatcher was the greatest UK Prime Minister since Churchill.
