Pole Position is always important.

Behind every great nation is a 'Flag' Pole

I don't endorse totalitarianism in anyway but why are Stalin and Hitler not on this list, or Karl Marx?

???
Because the list (apart from Graham Pole and North/South) were all either born or brought up in Poland.
Hitler was born in Austria
Karl Marx - Germany
Stalin - Georgia (USSR)
It was also meant to be a humorous 'play' on the word Pole/Poll as there are numerous others on here.
Just my odd sense of humour

You're right, it should be: Pol Poet
I wasn't aware he was a poet as well as a dictator - did he dictate his poetry then?

He did.
His secretary, Pollee Leopold used to run along side him when he was jogging and scribble his
Poetic ramblings, in shorthand of course.
The title of his book of poems was 'Poetry in Motion"........Catchy Eh ?
I am sorry but there seems to be some confusion. Pole Potte was a Polish mythical figure that on Christmas Eve would come and take children away to boil them in a pot to see if they had been naughty or good. If they were good the water would do them no harm and they would be allowed to return home and open the presents. However if the water boiled they would have to return home red and blotchy and their parents would not give them any presents.

I've seen that book on amazong.com, Chapter 1 was about Silverware, and the best Polishes to use.
Mansion Polish, no doubt

Or the famous French gardening expert and host of "Legumes pour Tous Les Jour" (Broadcast only on Mercredi)

At 5'11" he is believed to be the tallest midget in the world.
He also played gauche back for a petit village near Cul De Sac
