Credible alternatives? Well, IIRC there was a Liberal party.. It's debatable that they would be considered credible, but an alternative they might have been, but then the voting system in place.. I leave it to the reader to decide if there is (or was) any actual chance of change..
Of course, you are right that the easily manipulated helped vote Magie (sic) in again, and I'm sure rousing support for a war never really helped the chances of the Conservatives in winning a second election (the Falklands "war" for those who do not remember the past). Nationalistic pride being what it is, of course.
The economy she built up and which is still in place.. I'm not sure who the "us" to whom you refer actually is, and I'm not convinced about the degree of "wellness" that it has provided, but perhaps I'm just being overly cynical?
