That no statue be erected to Margaret Thatcher in Westminster
Despite some who profited, the Thatcher government caused untold harm to millions of people, denying them employment, security, education and healthcare. Whatever benefits ensued only applied to some and not others. Such a divisive programme should not be endorsed.
The list of wrongs done to the British people is too long to be quoted, but the myths of the Thatcher leadership are many. Her opposition to sanctions against apartheid are now being made known. A country where some make much money while others struggle to survive is not a commendable scenario, and any statue would represent a contentious political viewpoint.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is already a statue of Baroness Thatcher in Parliament. You can find out about the statue here:

A recent application for a statue in Parliament Square was turned down by Westminster Council. You can read more about this here:
