Fraser Nelson
Editor, The Spectator
Smart, debonair editor of the right-wing magazine that is never afraid to challenge received wisdom, Fraser Nelson is a free marketeer with strong opinions on the excesses of the welfare state and the government's failure to tackle the deficit. The canny Scot uses his knowledge of statistics to back up his arguments with a light sprinkling of killer facts. He has been tipped as a future national newspaper editor.
