The most influential Liberal Democrats: 50-26

By | Mon 21st September 2009 - 10:23 am

The Daily Telegraph is publishing its list of the top 50 most influential Liberal Democrats, starting today with numbers 50-26.

Congratulations are due to Mark Pack, of the LDV parish, for his appearance at No. 42, happily sandwiched between Watford Mayor Dorothy Thornhill (43) and Blog of the Year winner Jo Swinson (41):

42 (-6) Mark Pack

Former head of innovations, LibDem HQ

Mark Pack is a key player in the Lib Dem blogosphere and one of the main contributers to the successful Liberal Democrat Voice blog, on which he plays the part of attack dog, with a constant stream of blogposts highlighting scandals in other parties. He recently left his job at Lib Dem HQ to take up a position with a public affairs consultancy, but is still a figure of influence behind the scenes. He is a close political ally of Lib Dem online supremo Lynne Featherstone.

    The article seems to have a few errors in it.

    I would also question this in the comment about Sarah Teather.

    “although she is tipped to lose the new seat of Brent Central to the incumbent (and hapless) Labour MP Dawn Butler, she may confound everyone and pull off a surprise. ”

    Would it really be a surprise if she beat New Labour lobby fodder and serial trougher Dawn Butler ? The contest is closer than people credit it for.

    I would have also thought Jo Swinson would be a bit higher up the list.

    The inclusion of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe – on the basis of one interview – reveals this list as a complete joke.
