All of them were leaders of parties that lost general elections or were hounded out by thier own parties.

With one exception......

Is it just me that thinks if Blair and Brown had been 60s/70s prime ministers and Harold Wilson had been a prime minister in the last 10 years he would have one hell of a lot more votes than Blair and Brown have between them.

Thatcher, by a country mile.

As I write this its Thatcher, Blair, Brown Wilson and Macmillan.

In my life time I've only lived through 4 of these candidates so I cant really vote pre-thatcher.

Very sad that the two with the highest number of votes (Thatcher and Blair) are the ones who contributed most to the mess!

There is no-one on the list who is capable of sorting it out. We need someone who can ignore the vested interests of big business, banks and newspapers; who can sort out the bribery and corruption in politics; who can pump prime the economy with public works; nationalise utilities, banks and public service; take business out of education and health services; then and only then start reducing the public debt.

It'll never happen. We'll all suffer for many years; the rich will get richer and the poor get poorer.

Here's something quite interesting. The misery index has begun to rise again since the 'happy' couple got into power.

The Iron Lady? Seriously? You are brainwashed!

I would have liked a "none of these" option or "other".

Only over 60's would have adult knowledge of the bottom ones.
