Yeah, the Brits did it first.. with Churchill winning.
The Germans chose Konrad Adenauer, the Dutch Pim Fortuyn and France is currently choosing theirs.

Thanks. I guess this trend of picking "The Greatest..." is following in the footsteps of the Idol craze.
Don't you know we get most of our great TV ideas from the UK!?
I.E....
What Not to Wear
The Weakest Link
Trading Spaces
I could go on, there's plenty TV stuff we've 'stolen' from the UK

Soon to be the NBC show "The Office"... I haven't seen the British version but apparently it's hilarious.
BTW... who ended up voted the greatest Canadian?
