So, apparently the choices on this were picked by party members via the LDV members' survey. I don't recall ever being asked who my choice was, which leads me to believe that the question must have been asked in the survey I had technical problems with. Now, I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat here, but I can't help but wonder who else got technical problems on that survey because, seriously, party, you think Mark cocking Littlewood is more deserving than Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir or Helle Thorning-Schmidt or Michele Bachelet?

FFS.

Nine nominees and the one woman is Hillary bloody Clinton. Sometimes I truly despair.

I vaguely recall seeing the question, but not answering it because I hardly ever read LDV now, and couldn't think of anyone at the time. If I'd known Littlewood's acolytes were going to try and fix it for him, I'd probably have thought harder.

And I'd never heard of Breanna (as opposed to Bradley) Manning until now.

Yeah, I'd support an Anyone But Littlewood campaign here, frankly.
Breanna is the name that Manning prefers to go by, but the campaign to free her has been consistently misgendering her (presumably in order to avoid confusion, as she's been charged under her birth name). Or at least, that's the best anyone can make out given the lack of information because of the way she's being treated.
I'm no great lover of Wikileaks, and think Assange a truly toxic specimen of humanity, but anyone willing to face the death penalty in order to expose war crimes deserves our support.
