Redgrave did run for office back in the 70s whens ehwas with the Workers Revolutionary Party or whatever it was.
Both are great actressesI think Redgrave is perhaps the better actress of the two, BUT Elizabeth was a much more commanding figure here while Mary came off kinda wimpy, so I think Glenda kinda outshines Vanessa here -

Don't confuse the actresses with the roles. As a Catholic with Scottish heritage (my grandmother was a Hunter), as far as who's queen, I pick Maryqueen of all the earth-second only to the Virgin Mary, mother of God.
Just call me Queen of the May. -

''As a Catholic with Scottish heritage (my grandmother was a Hunter)''
Kudos for knowing that Hunters (Clann an t-Sealgair) are Scottish as the English name throws people off. Actually the Hunters are technically a Scottish family of Norman origin, being originally Venators; Scandinavians who used to frolic freely in the woods of Normandy acting all French.

They're too very different actresses.
Glenda is a very technical actress. Most people tend to admire her diction, how she says her lines or her voice projection, rather than her ability to actually inhabit a character.
Vanessa on the other hand, although technically very skilled too, she is far more emotionally connected and instinctive. Her acting is less perfect and more visceral.
Personally, I think Vanessa is, bar Maggie Smith, the greatest actress in England today. But each to his own.
