I actually voted Victoria BUT another possibility might be to combine Elizabeth and Boudicca, THAT would be my ideal choice with the same face serving for Boudicca in the ancient and Elizabeth in the medieval (and dressed perhaps as Victoria in the industrial, but the face needn't match).

I can imagine nothing cooler than having a George III leaderhead for England. That would be the epitome of badass! He's simply too symbolic and unique a king to not consider making!
Richard I would indeed also be very interesting to make. Let's see how the voting goes.
I definitely prefer you making a leaderhead not already available, so Elizabeth and Churchill are not good ideas IMO.

Richard the Lionheart (I voted "other").
As if we need another Boudicca

Sir Winston Churchill. The greatest leader the British ever had...

Both Boudicca and Churchill were made and they're good. My pick would be Alfred the Great but since I want to make him someday I'll cast a third vote for Richard I "Lionheart"

Really, Boudica and Elizabeth would be the same head, and it would be Victoria in the Industrial era. So it may pass for a young Victoria.

No, Churchill was a pretty nasty piece of work, and other than his leadership in WWII (which he did in his capacity as defence minister rather than prime minister) he was a poor prime minister. His domestic policies were terrible and socially unjust, which is why he was soundly defeated in 1945, and a good thing too because it meant that Clement Attlee, a far superior prime minister, could create the welfare state - something Churchill completely opposed.
Of the options listed, I'd go for George III. But I'd prefer the best prime minister we've ever had, William Gladstone.

Failing that (as someone may have made him...) , maybe Thatcher?

Richard for me, with Victoria a close second. Henry II was a very good and competent King too, but not such famous LH material, so I go with the Coeur de Leon.
Hmmm, Victoria was more Queen of the British Empire than anything to do with England.
Boudicca was a Queen of a British (Britonic) tribe, not even in the slightest English.
Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom, nothing specifically English about her either.
George III...King of Great Britain and Ireland (do you detect a trend here?) also son of a line of sausage sucking Germans and as mad as a hat. Not really very English, at least he could speak it though...
Churchill - English, yes. But also a racist maniac and pretty poor politician as has been pointed out.
Not a very inspiring list of English leaders really...
I would suggest King Athelstan. His victories over the Danes and Vikings, his subjugation of the Welsh, Cornish and Scots, defined the English nation. The territory he conquered and submitted to him was the largest England had ever been, roughly equivalent to modern England today.
Richard I is a poetic choice but also hardly English and spent almost his entire life outside of England!

Umm, I wonder what everybody has with Richard I, he was an idiot, by all means. Besides my all time favorite Elizabeth, it got to be Richards father:
Henry II(Anjou), Plantagenet, was the #1 ruler in the 12th century. He build up an Empire (England, Wales, Ireland, and France) that his stupid sons were unable to keep under control.

A British tribe that lived in England. Boudicca was English. IIRC, she lived somewhere near London.
No, Queen of England. It wasn't until her death that Charles I (Scotland's Charles V? IV? VI? I forget...), her Scottish nephew became king (because she had no heir), that the UK came in to being, AFAIK.
EDIT: My bad, I read it as Elizabeth I
. I think, however, your best arguament against her would be that she doesn't rule, the PM does.I was thinking that earlier, but I thought that he would have been too unheard of, really, and a wee bit overshadowed by his grandfather, Alfred.

I think a better and sexy Queen Elizabeth should be the order.Somewhat modeled after the actress Cate Blanchett.
