I think this article should end in 2010

I personally think this article should end in 2007 or 2010 and a new article, kinda covering the five conservative governments that were defined by Brexit and Covid, would be more appropriate. It feels like this is a distinctly different era than Thatcher 2603:9001:55F0:250:19A5:3BD1:C43:255C (talk) 00:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should end at the general election of 2024. What the new Labour Government is doing could be the beginning of the end of the Thatcherite consensus. Pikachu3408 (talk) 15:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too early to say really - you could also make an argument for splitting it in 2016 or 2020 (Brexit), but this is all WP:CRYSTAL at the moment. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 09:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
