  It's a given that neither of those two were the best UK prime minister.

  I don't know about the best PM, but Charles Gray was the best Blofeld.
  
  No Disraeli? Queen Victoria would not be amused.

  I always thought his interpretation was too camp - preferred Pleasance.

  I tried to pick the more significant ones. I suppose a better topic might be best 20th/21st century PM but...this is interesting too.

  
  Where's the Duke of Wellington in that list?
  
  I wanted to vote for him.

  He was so good that somebody assassinated him.
  That's what I call real accountability

  I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.
  To the Peel Commission (1937)

  
  I'll go for Winston; it's quite a finessed bit of political posing to be the arch-nemesis of Nazis while simultaneously almost being a Nazi yourself!

  Personal choice obviously and only because playing it as camp as a row of tents was refreshingly different to the textbook psycho-megalomaniac.
  
  Meanwhile, back in the politics thread....
