Well, yes, if we start talking about actual politics rather than portrayals and personalities, Wilberforce is more sympathetic for being committedly anti-slavery. On the other hand, Wilberforce also crusaded against trade unions, alcohol, and molly houses, so from a modern perspective he's no winner either.
