Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of British politicians
If anything BHG is overgenerous to this list - since every one of those estimated 10,000 MPs has (generally) had at least two serious competitors in every election, plus assorted Lords, lobbyists, even bishops in the UK system, I'd estimate at a ''minimum'' 30,000 serious candidates for this list - and that's before we get into the assorted local authority leaders, mayors, party chairs, unelected ministers - a thousand years of history adds up to a ''lot'' of political hacks and chairwarmers. This works fine as a category as it's self-limiting in that only those people who pass  appear - otherwise, this list has the potential to be totally and irredeemably unmanageable; the only way it could be useful is if sorted into an arbitrary "order of importance" which would probably violate NPOV and still be unmanageable
