Line 28:
===There is no alternative===
The assertion that [[there is no alternative]] is an example of the false dichotomy taken to its ultimate extreme, in which the options are reduced to one, the proposal of the speaker. Of course the speaker does not believe there are no alternatives otherwise
<blockquote>
"This was the mantra chanted by '[[Wets & Dries|dries]]' during the prime ministerial reign of [[Margaret Thatcher]], by which they demonstrated their belief that free-market capitalism was the only possible economic theory. It was said so often amongst them that it was shortened to TINA. The hard-right Thatcherites called themselves 'dries' to demonstrate their opposition to the '[[wets]]', i.e. the One-Nation Tories whom Thatcher despised. Wet was the public school nickname for any boy who showed any sign of caring for his fellow beings."{{Fact|date=December 2007}}
