YOU can do the most to end poverty
 Do you remember back in April when we asked you to vote for who you think could change the world? Well plenty of you did - nearly 9,000 votes have been counted and the winner is... You!
According to the results of our I'm In People's Poll, people accross Britain believe that they could do a better job of ending world poverty than high-profile figures from the Pope to Tony Blair. In fact Mr Blair came in at number five - just above Gordon Brown but trailing behind Live8 and Make Poverty History ambassadors Bob Geldof and Bono (who came in at numbers three and four respectively).
A voter from East London said: 'If we all stand up and say we want to end poverty then I think we can make a big enough statement for those that really need to listen.'
The top 10
1. Me
2. George Bush
3. Bob Geldof
4. Bono
5. Tony Blair
6. Gordon Brown
7. Nelson Mandela
8. Bill Gates
9. Pope Benedict XVI
10. Oprah Winfrey

Highly predictable it has to be said. Don't know I'd have put Bono above Gates myself.

It was a bit predictable, but I think we all need to remember to stand up and unite to end poverty together.
