Chairmen: Chris Lewis and the Sunday Times political team
Politicians are, by the nature of their job, among the most powerful people in the country. A list of the most influential people in politics could therefore write itself; however, our panel has taken a different route when selecting the top 20. Instead of choosing individuals because of the office they hold, the panel has focused on the Parliamentarians who have had a big impact through their campaigning in the last twelve months and who are expected to continue to be influential figures in years to come.
