For 2011, that person was Jack Layton.

A whopping 90 per cent of editors polled said they thought the NDP leader was the newsmaker of the year.

Layton helped to build his political party up from just 19 seats in 2003 when he took over as leader, to 103 seats last year -- enough to make the NDP Canada's national opposition party for the first time in history.

Layton died from cancer in 2011 and the country mourned for this great "representative of the people."
