most influential left wingers

having seen some of the lists, i think people really need to reconsider the definition of 'left wing'. Simon Hughes, Charles Kennedy etc. are NOT left-wing. They are liberals. They may, MAY, be to the left of the centre, but they are FAR from left wing. It's a point of bother to me that people in the centre or on the soft left are called left wing, because they are not. David Cameron and Nick Clegg are not right WING, but they are to the right of the centre.
Is Danny Branchflower really left WING? i don't think so, but he's the only one i think deserves to be in this list
