    First shot at a "political" list. Any idea for a good title?

      Editing … So it's a favourite politicians/favourite hypothetical politicians list? Can't think of a good title off the top of my head, I'll get back to you.

      Editing … It's a weird premise really, since people can rank anyone we're already getting really daft picks and the description's confusing: it talks about the (presumably US) presidential election in a what if you could pick anyone kind of way at first but then says something about choosing a "worthy world council". I'd be more interested in a pure favourite politicians list. The way that politicians are controversial and often widely disliked would make it interesting really, I've no idea who'd be #1 out of current politicians and I'd love to see how the British politicians did. I'm guessing a lot of people would resort to historical politicians.

      Editing … If you think my picks are daft you should see who I left out. But in any case, a favourite politicians list would be interesting.

      Editing … Good points, Rich. Let's try with politicians only and see what happens. Oh, by the way, the dead are off the list.

      Editing … Cool stuff! Favourite Modern Day Politicians seems like a good name for this one (Favourite Current Politicians would work too), I'd be up for writing a new description if you want?

      Editing … @Papissama why can't I rank some politicians like Martti Ahtisaari or Kofi Annan? They are categorized as politicians.

      Editing … That's a point. How are we defining politician? Anyone that's politically active? Anyone that's a prominent member of a political party/professional politician? Anyone that's stood for election?

      Editing … That may be a stupid question but... what's the difference between a "Politician" and a "Government Official"? Shouldn't both categories be rankable?

      Editing … I'd guess government official also includes civil servants/bureaucrats etc that haven't been elected. And not every politician gets into power and gets to be a government official.

      Editing … They're both spiritual leaders first and political figures second but yeah I agree. Pope Francis is sovereign of Vatican City and speaks out on various political issues. He should be an option.
