PARLIAMENT HILL—In a year that saw the election of a new federal NDP leader, the launch of the federal Liberal leadership race, and a renewed federal focus on hyper-partisanship, this year’s respondents to The Hill Times’ 16th Annual Most Valuable Politician and All Politics Poll stuck mostly to both their party lines and to their party leaders. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was voted the year’s Most Valuable Politician, while NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair ranked second place and interim Liberal leader Bob Rae was voted third.
