That's because in my opinion she was the last politician with power that had true integrity .She had her flaws i can't deny that and not all her policies where the right ones imo but at least she stood her ground and most importantly she used the EU to our advantage and reigned them in a bit .Future politicians that followed her had none of her character or sense of direction

I think that is because they didn't get it ,it was a Christmas bonus for pensioners only so not tied to benefits and not tied to inflation .
