My list:

Attlee
Wilson
Campbell-Bannerman
Macmillan
Lloyd-George
Asquith
Balfour
Blair
Churchill
Heath
Callaghan
Cecil
Baldwin
Major
MacDonald
Douglas-Home
Chamberlain
Bonar Law
Thatcher
Eden

Yeah, it's immensely hackish to put Thatcher below Chamberlain I know. Tongue Still, I think I'm more or less in line with historians on Attlee, Macmillan, Lloyd George, Blair, Chamberlain, Eden and maybe one or two others.

Non-hackish, I think. The list would be alot different otherwise. Tongue

This is more concerned with impact, influence and achievements.

Clement Attlee
Margaret Thatcher
Winston Churchill
David Lloyd-George
Tony Blair
Herbert Asquith
Harold Wilson
Harold Macmillan
Stanley Baldwin
Sir John Major (the epitome of average PM, sort of like George HW Bush)
Neville Chamberlain
Gordon Brown
James Callaghan
Ted Heath
Andrew Bonar Law
Ramsay MacDonald
Sir Alec Douglas-Home
Sir Anthony Eden

The best Prime Minister of all times was Lord Palmerston.
