As the only choice there can be is between good people who've failed and snake oil salesmen/careerists who've succeeded there can't possibly be a Politician of the Decade.

I have voted Farage, streets ahead
His impact on Britain society has been massive, so much hate, so much division, so much damage to the UK, others have copied the model.
Liberalism will return but we will have to learn the hard way first

There's only one answer, and I highly dislike the ****.
You can say all you like that Farage had influence, but it was Boris that did it. It was Boris that got Leave over the line, Boris who has become prime minister, Boris who will take us out of the EU, Boris who could, just could, as loathe as I am to admit it, do all of the things he has promised.........
Also, in a year and a bit, I will hit the magic age of 47 when I am supposed to switch from being a left-wing voter to a Tory. So whilst I currently think Boris is a manipulative, scheming, lieing, unqualified, unprincipled, narcissistic, complete arse of a human being, in 2022 I expect I will be singing his praises. What a man!

If it was "most selfless politician", yes. But this poll really is about influence, not whether they are decent person.

None of them are really worth a vote. However it has to be Cameron for me in deciding on that referendum. Terrible decision.

I don't think you can vote for one because,
in the same way that the Albion wouldn't be where we are without all the hard work of both of these men and was totally unimaginable 22 years before, when Dick took control
The country wouldn't be where it is without the total f***wittery of all three of these men and it would have been completely unimaginable for the country to have been in this state 9 years ago, when Cameron took control

Unbelievable that Gordo Brown, Iain Blackford and Marky French aren't in the mix. All of them have had STELLAR decades.
And Berko obvs.
And Eddie Balls.

From the perspective that he's never held any real power it's got to be Farage but then of course Boris has/will achieve something many thought impossible.
Another option is someone who's worked tirelessly as an MP, especially on committees, is straight talking and likes taking on the establishment but without the blaze of publicity many politicians crave - I give you Frank Field.

Selfless means
/ˈsɛlfləs/
concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own; unselfish.
"an act of selfless devotion"
She didn't give a shit about democracy and what the country voted for in the referendum and pursued her selfish wish to ignore it.
It was people like her that drove the fair-minded remainers and the leavers on to get Brexit done at the polling stations.
So I'm not sure she could be in that category.
I would vote for Caroline, as 'most irritating woman' and she may well get the biggest shit-stirrer and scaremongering award.
I would vote for 'Lammy as most irritating man'

Crikes, someone has actually voted for Jez - either an ironic Tory or 
or 
or 
There’s hope for you yet, though. I’m now over 10 years past that particular milestone and am probably more left wing than ever!
Boris out!!

It was only possible because he decided to break up the UK. He's no magician, just a liar and charlatan. But you carry on...
