Oppose The politician is active, while the sports player is retired, which could explain the pageviews differential. In terms of incoming links, they are about the same (60 vs. 70) so I'm not convinced the politician—who is a backbench MP with an article barely above stub length—is primary by long-term significance.

Oppose per buidhe. No indication that this political figure is known throughout the English-speaking world or has long lasting historical significance. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:37, 16 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Backbench politician vs. rugby double international. If anything, the latter is the more significant. Narky Blert (talk) 14:39, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
