There was one for Congressmen a while back. Info on M.P's: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2160988.stm

Members of the Cabinet and the 2 Shadow Cabinets are banned, unless it's for there work as an M.P/political views etc.

Got to go now (detailed stuff later)... the M.P I hate the most is either Ian Paisley, Andrew Rossindale, Andrew Hunter or George Galloway.

Favourite M.P's:

Kim Howells, Lab Pontypridd: Competent Minister, Populist loudmouth, good work on economic development in the Valleys, Anti-Scargill wing of the NUM

Frank Field, Lab Birkenhead: Outstanding stuff on economic development and poverty, Populist loudmouth. Disagree with his views on Europe though

Kevan Jones, Lab Durham North: Excellent record on development in the Durham Coalfield and workers rights (Private Members Bill banning Christmas Trading), Santa's friend ;-)

Denis Murphy & John Cummings (Lab Wansbeck, Lab Easington) : IMO the best constituency M.P's around. Murphy saved the Wansbeck Coalfield, Cummings' stopped Easington from collapsing into a huge ghetto. And cleaned up Seaham.

Most Hated M.P's

Ian Paisley, DUP Antrim North: this man is a lunatic. He's become (and has always been) a caricature of his own bigotry.

Andrew Rossindale, Con Romford: Nasty, racist piece of sh**t. Scary. This man is a Nazi.

Andrew Hunter, Con Basingstoke: Combine Paisley with Rossindale, while adding the words "Pro Aparthied".

George Galloway, Ba'athist Glasgow Kelvin: in addition to the obvious, he's probably the very worst constituency M.P in the whole U.K (he lives in Portugal...)

I should add Frank Field to my list - he was pretty good when he was in government. Odd that he got sacked for implementing a manifesto commitment (must be the first minister in history).

True
