Lembit Opik bests Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Jordon and others

By | Sun 6th September 2009 - 2:20 pm

Praise for Lembit Opik’s role in Britain’s rural communities comes with Country Life’s list of 100 most influential people. As the Evening Standard reported:

The Lib Dem MP, more famed for his love life than political achievements, has been included in Country Life’s list of the 100 people who wield the most power over the countryside. “[He] often unintentionally adds gaiety to the nation for his romantic adventures, but is actually the Liberal Democrat MP with the most genuine, considered understanding for the countryside.” At number 44 he beats the likes of, Peter Florence, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Sir David Attenborough and Jordon who comes in last for her love of horses.

Congratulations are due to Lembit as getting that rating from Country Life is a genuine mark of his public work.
