I can see the point of what this poster is saying buthave you not realised that some Conservative supporters as well as some within the party have the view that Cameron isn't fit to lick her boots and that if they had their way Maggie would replace Cameron and do you remember that there was a send up of his"I'll cut the deficit not the NHS" poster as him pleading "I am not Margaret Thatcher" poster that although meant to be critical towards the Conservatives there would no doubt be some Tory supporters like the poster for different reasons ie. they can't stand him?
