Nominations are now open for the most influential left-wing thinker in 2010/11 - please send in yours
It’s time for the annual Left Foot Forward poll of the most influential left-wing thinker. Last year, Tony Benn topped the vote on 44%, followed by Ken Livingstone (34%), Caroline Lucas (33%), Noam Chomsky (30%) and Ed Miliband (24%) – who priescently came ahead of his brother David (18%).
We are now taking nominations for the title of the most influential left-wing thinker of 2011. You can send in your nomination by emailing us at daniel@leftfootforward.org and putting “Nomination:” followed by the name of the person you wish to nominate. If you would like to argue for your nomination, please send a 150-250 word article in support, which we’ll look to run over August. They don’t necessarily:
- Have to be left-wing in a conventional sense
- Need to be someone whose views you personally agree with
- Widely perceived to be ‘political’
They do
- Have to have had a discernable impact between September 2010 and August 2011 on British Politics
We will then draw up a short list of 20 which will then be put to the vote.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.
