In your opinion who do you consider to be the best left-wing leader and the best right-wing leader within your nation that you have encountered? I also encourage you that if your loyalty resides more on the left then choose one from the right and if it is with the right then choose one from the left.
In my own country of the UK, I like to think of myself as a Centrist (NOT centralist). A centrist is someone that has or at least tries to have moderate political views, although at times they may lean slightly to more one side than the other.
As such the two great leaders from both sides of the UK within the last 2 or 3 decades would have to be Tony Blair from the left and David Cameron from the right. Albeit they made mistakes no doubt they also accomplished some great things. One of the things that Tony Blair did was modernize labor and allowing people to choose private sectors of things if they wanted to; this way everyone got the best of both worlds. With David Cameron on the other hand, he enforced environmental policies. These are both examples of accepting and/or enforcing policies of opposite sides; this is a true reflection of being able to think moderately.
Out of the two of them though I'd have to choose David Cameron. The only mistakes I think David Cameron made was the referendum and the NHS cut-backs during the recession times, and his abdication of responsibility after the referendum. Pretty much everything else he did was on the ball in my opinion.
One of the other great things I think David Cameron did was to harden up the national curriculum so as to match the same educational standards as that of other EU countries. I don't know if there is any truth in this but there was a rumor that Tony Blair lowered the UK's national curriculum to make the UK look good in Europe and if this is true then it is highly unethical. This means that students would be graduating on a false sense of achievement which is absolutely disgusting in my opinion.
Anyway, those are my views.
The unexamined thought is not worth thinking.

Arguments
The leader who did the most to advance a left leaning agenda, would have to be William Lyon Mackenzie King (Liberal, 1921-1930 and 1935-1948). King gained independence from the British Empire; founded the welfare state; navigated the perils of the 1939-45 war and the early Cold War... He is tied with Pierre-Elliott Trudeau, who brought the French fact to Ottawa and beyond, battled a Quebec separatist movement that seemed sure to succeed, and established a new Constitution with a revolutionary Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Side note: The worst would be the current one, Justin Trudeau, he's just a poster boy with the philosophical depth of a frisbee... He is the worst side of his father, amplified...
On the right leaning side, probably John A. MacDonald, he united the country and made Canada what it is by leading the negotiations that resulted in the birth of Canada as a nation, but his treatments of native First Nations will forever tarnish his legacy though... Brian Mulroney comes a close second imo, was in office close to 10 years (1984-93), solidified commerce relations with the US, enhanced individual freedoms, and free-market ideology...

As for Cameron, I only rank him marginally better, due to the issues with the ATOS work capability assessments that were marking dying cancer patients as "fit for work" and his austerity measures in general. There is also the issue of his role in toppling the regime in Libya and attempting to oust Assad in Syria. Taken together with Blair's actions before him these interventions created the conditions necessary for the creation of ISIS/ISIL. We still haven't solved the problem of the instability in these areas and in fact, Libya now is plagued by armed groups and slave markets (2).
Cameron had to offer the referendum on the EU by the way, because at the time UKIP was polling incredibly well and stripping away conservative support. It also made sense for him to step down and not to lead the country in a direction that he didn't agree with or have a vision for (Cameron is pro-remain).

I disagree with the entire premise of the left ideologies, and as such all of their conclusions are unfounded and dangerous in my eyes. When I disagree with something at its core, I refuse to make qualitative judgments on the details of its implementation. The Castro family may be more reasonable than, say, the North Korean Kim family, but they both are harsh authoritarians, enough that the border between them is washed out in my perception.
Extreme right, on the other hand, in my opinion is the only way for our civilisation to move forward in the long run - but I realise that how I define "left" and "right" differs strongly from how most people on the West do it. I do not see Trump's protectionist ideas as coming from the right wing, for example, but I realise many would disagree.

Don't you think that is black and white thinking though since there are lots of people in this world that share both left-wing and right-wing views?

What can I say, I have always been against any violation of voluntarist principles, and an ideology that forgoes them in exchange for the alleged collective good is very alien to my nature. I do not think that I am better than anyone, there are just things I refuse to put up with or compromise on. If someone suggests something I deeply oppose, I refuse to consider the middle ground, as it is like looking for the middle ground between the statements "2+2=4" and "2+2=5"; I will not say, "Okay, let us agree that 2+2=4.5 and move on".

I by no means imply that one side is always right and another side is always wrong. What I am saying, however, is that the basis behind the left ideologies is deeply wrong, in my opinion, while the basis behind the right ideologies is not: I view collectivist ideas as evil, and while there can be different individualist ideas, some evil and some good, fundamentally individualism is neutral.
A person who bases all of their views, or some of their views, on an evil premise can still have a lot of good ideas, and a person who bases all of their views, or some of their views, on a good premise can be mistaken about a lot of things. It is never as simple as "person X is 100% right" and "person Y is 100% wrong". But the basis behind the person X's reasoning can be wrong, even if some of the conclusions are not.
I refuse to seek compromise with those who support collectivist ideas on the matters in which their ideas manifest. Someone who generally supports collectivist ideas, but is very moderate on them and can mix them up with individualist ideas in order to reach compromise - now that is someone I can collaborate with.
I won't collaborate with someone who believes that healthcare should be nationalised, but I can work with someone who believes that healthcare should be fully privatised, but some minor regulations should still be installed. As long as it is an upgrade over the status quo, I can get behind the proposal. I am not an "all-or-nothing" guy, but I am pretty strict on my desire for the society to move in the right direction, and I will not condone even minor steps in the wrong direction.
