I'm not talking policies necessarily - just who do you secretly like despite them being the spawn of Satan?

Me - Labour supporter/member, and I have a real soft spot for Ken Clarke. He seems like an affable sort of chap who I'd enjoy a meal with. Ditto William Hague - I've always been fond of young William.

Claig, longfingernails etc - who would you happily spend an evening with from the Labour party?

I don't actually support any one party tribally (something which irritates a lot of my friends and colleagues who don't get it). But I like Tony Benn, Charlie Kennedy and Sayeeda Warsi.

From across the pond, I could never in a million years support Sarah Palin but I'd love to spend a week doing filthy things with her.

I like Diane Abbott, David Blunkett and Peter Mandelson.
From the Tories I like Ken Clarke and John Major

I like Ed Miliband. And David Cameron, for that matter.

Ken Clarke.

Labour supporter here.
Also like ken Clarke and William Hague. I love the reinvented Michael portillo on this week. John Major seems like a nice chap.

I'm a natural Tory supporter but I have to say I secretly like John Prescott.

He's a plain talker and not afraid to fight back.....literally!

I also quite liked Blair. Whilst i didn't agree with the whole Iraq war at all, I admire the way he managed to change the Labour party from a stupid backward socialist bunch of union numpties into a modern party who understood that people are not wrong to have aspirations. I'd love to spend an evening having dinner with him chewing the fat so to speak (and no I dont mean John Prescott!)
