Thanks for all your entries for the Guardian Unlimited Politics list of Britain's top 50 most significant figures who are not elected. Nominations have now closed.
Many of you voted for the undoubtedly influential Rupert Murdoch and George Bush, but as we wanted a list made up of British citizens their names had to be omitted. Sorry to those of you who disagreed with that rule.
Our panellists will meet up soon to consider their nominees and yours and come up with the final list.
