Sir Edward Richard George Heath (Ted Heath) was an English politician. He was born in 1916 at Broadstairs, Kent and died in 2005. He entered parliament in 1950 and became leader of the Conservative party and in 1970 became Prime Minister. He was ousted from leadership of the Conservative party in 1975 by Margaret Thatcher following widespread industrial disputes across the country, and particularly dissatisfaction among the coal miners. After his removal as leader of the Conservative Party the Conservative Party became far more dictatorial and moralist. Until the day he died, Edward Heath opposed the extreme and oppressive policies of the Thatcherite Conservatives. He is remembered as the British Prime Minister who negotiated Britain's entry into the European Common Market, and as an international statesman who successfully negotiated the release of British prisoners held in Iraq following the Gulf War - a position that was in stark contrast to the swaggering gun-ho posture of his successors.
