I didn't share her view on politics but she always seemed like a fair, straight talking lady who wasn't afraid to go her own way.
RIP.

The moderate-minded and brightest stars of the Labour Party left to form the SDP in 1981.
If the Tories were under a less-forceful leader than Margaret Thatcher, and not buoyed by her response to the Falklands crisis, the SDP may well have become the government in 1983 or 1987.
They would have appealed to the same sort of voters as 'new Labour' did fifteen years later.
R.I.P. Shirley Williams.
