Since the last publication of the charismatic league table, a league structure of charismatic individuals has been instituted.
Relegation and promotion based in the latest news stories of those individuals nominated for inclusion who are still generating media attention
The tables are designed to encourage discussion about our beliefs on charisma, and no scholarly claims are made of their reliability or validity.
The tables will be revised monthly until further notice. A rather old-fashioned spreadsheet is under preparation.
To avoid entryism
All proposals will be examined carefully by the editor of LWD before changes are made. The editor’s decision on such changes will be final. This utterly undemocratic process is one designed to avoid entryism, and any such attempts to influence the league tables in underhanded ways.
Read on to see the five league tables for September 2015.
