London, May 31 : Tony Blair has been voted the most popular foreign politician – in Poland.

5,021 Poles were put to the test, and one in four said that they would love to have the former Brit PM running their country.

The reason Blair is so popular among the Pole who call him an ‘outstanding statesman’ is that he opened up the UK to a million immigrants.

Second on the list was German Chancellor Angela Merkel, followed by US President George W Bush in the third spot, reports The Sun.

However, it seems that former Russian President Vladimir Putin isn’t so popular, for half of those quizzed said that they would hate to have him run their country. (ANI)
