On November 11th 1984 they proclaimed a new state, the Kingdom of Rhodesia, with Elizabeth II as Queen. The subsequent election to the Rhodesian parliament, was a contest between two parties, The Rhodeisan Liberal Party, led by Garfield Todd and the Conservative party, which was led by Ian Smith until the arrival of former UK Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who immediately became leader. Thatcher won the election by a landslide and went on to win three elections. Rhodesia remained out of the new Union of South Africa which came into being in September 1984.
