How would you assess the balance of power in this list and why do you think it is this way?

I think that the balance of power in this list is not equal at all, as there is far more men in power than women, this can be seen as patriarchal and very male dominated. This however may be because there are much more sucsessful men in Britain then women which obviously therefore effects the balance of power.
