Favourite & Lest Favourite M.P's?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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.

Favourite MPs:
Anne Widdecombe (C-Maidstone & The Weald) - Brilliant woman; Tells it like it is. Finest hour: "Something of the Night".
Crispin Blunt (C-Reigate) - Actually serves his constituents quite well; Seemingly always willing to appear for whatever my school wanted him to. Finest hour: Resigning during 2003 election count saying that IDS couldn't lead the Tories to victory; Subsequently being the first MP to declare he had handed in his letter.
Michael Meacher (Lab-Oldham West & Royton) - Competent minister and true Social Democrat. Finest hour: Kyoto.

Least Favourite MPs:
Rev Ian Paisley (DUP-N Antrim) - Bigot. 'Nuff said.
Sir Paul Beresford (C-Mole Valley) - He's the inept MP for my home constituency; I wouldn't know he was the MP if I didn't make an effort to find out and my parents can't name him.
Fatty Soames (C-Mid-Sussex) - I know I'm not allowed Shadow cabinet members, but his general rants against anything vaguely progressive piss me off.

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).

George Galloway, Ba'athist Glasgow Kelvin...

Surely Baghdad Central?

True

Well it was Baghdad Central, before boundary changes moved him to Tikrit Cave & Baghdad Prison

How Galloway is not in a prison jumpsuit is beyond me.

[Silent Hunter]

Favourites:
Michael Martin (Glasgow Springburn)- great Speaker.
Ann Clywd (Cynon Valley)- for her work with the Iraqi people.
Boris Johnson (Henley)- May occasionally put his foot in it, but still a funny bloke.
Kali Mountford (Colne Valley)- Have met her, nice person.
Dennis Skinner (Bolsover)- just funny.

Least favourites:

Andrew Rosindell (Con, Romford)- very right-wing.
George Galloway (Respect, Glasgow Kelvin)- just plain nasty in his views and comments.
Clare Short (Birmingham Ladywood)- She should have gone in March 2003 from the Cabinet. I've read somewhere her opposition to the war meant her department didn't plan properly for the post-war situation.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Heh... Clwyd and The Beast of Bolsover are good as well.
Rosindell is an out and out Nazi
