Britain's case seems more complex: given that the Country is both constitutionally and politically female-dominated, it remains to be shown whether that domination is in the initiation or in the resolution only* of events. Whether she is right or wrong, Mrs. Thatcher does seem to have considered carefully the basis of her economic actions before she came to power – in a way that few other governments seem to have done – and pretty well stuck to them. The Harmony and Unity produced by the Falklands Circle may still be a very strong influence on the electorate in her favour. It may be that the economy is suffering Death (in insolvency and, especially, unemployment) which she would, I believe, see as necessary for success.

Taking correlation too far, it is entertaining to note that the 'pay-off' stage begins with Action dominated by the figure named Michael. If she is correct in her course (and “correct” may be the wrong term: the Circle suggests that whether it is praiseworthy or reprehensible, it will, if stuck to, produce the result she wants), two Michaels in particular stand as candidates to reap the benefit. One is Michael Foot**, about whose prospects of exercising power I think I commented adversely some years ago in this book***. The other, who I hope has matured into less of a smoothy than he seemed when I glimpsed him walking across the public lobby of Parliament (also some years ago), is Michael Heseltine****.
