AH Challenge: Denis Thatcher, Prime Minister

Using a PoD not before his 1945, get Denis Thatcher elected as a PM of any political party in the UK. Then speculate as to the nature of his government, given his OTL views. Bonus points if Maggie marries someone else and ends up as a prominent MP too.
 
Dennis Thatcher? DENNIS THATCHER!?!?!?

Umm... How about some random cousin with the same name? That might be workable. The guy who married Maggie? That sure FEELS like it's ASB. It might be fun if someone could prove me wrong, tho
 
If you did some ridiculous butterflying (but not handwaving) and turned the Tory Party post-Macmillan into a party of straight-talking 'business thinkers' more akin to that element of the US Republican party today, by the 1980s 'our Denis' may well have emerged as the leader of a 'Man In The Street Tory' party, as opposed to the One Nation or Empire highbrow factions of the past.

Anyone fancy a stab at making that happen?
 
Denis had a break down in 1965, thats not a good sign for taking the stresses of the being PM, though there are a number of stories about the end of Iron Lady's term that seem to say that dating as far back as 87 he saw his wife being over through by the back bench so the man knows his politics
