I am from Germany. The biggest difficulty for me is not to give an inappropriate joke answer. Lol.
I thought as a person from UK the answer is so easy because one can simply say Winston Churchill. Though I think he also has some bodies buried if one digs deep enough. But I don't know enough to judge. I am not that familiar with the history of such personalities. I read Mahatma Gandhi was a pedophile. Maybe I should fact check such claims before posting them. Lol.
Some would say Bismarck in Germany (where I live). The best thing about him was that he was not much interested in colonialism. I was a fan of him when I was a conservative. Now not anymore. He was a warmongerer.
Merkel's Russia politics was horrendous. She had no vision she just profited of the reforms of Gerhard Schröder. The reforms made the leftwingparty SPD very unpopular because they were very neoliberal. But Merkel pretended her politics was the reason for the economical boom.
From the chancellors many say Helmut Schmidt (SPD) would have been the best. Scholz is certainly not the best. But from all chancellors of my lifetime he made the reforms which benefited me the most. I am grateful for that. But he is extremely unpopular among Germans because of several reasons. The multicrises internationally also contribute to that fact.
I kind of admire the democratic leaders of the WW2 era who had enough courage and determination to fight the Nazis and the other fascists.
In the US I would probably say FDR. I am a leftwinger.

anyways, I do mean he has been one of the most human politician in the history of mankind.
