Which politicians do you rate, regardless of party?

[BananaBeforeBed]

In these troubled times it’s hard to like an entire party.

I would like a government with the following cabinet members:

Jess Phillips
Tom Watson
Phillip Hammond
Jo Swinson
Ken Clarke
Michael Heseltine
Rory Stewart
Ian Blackford .

Anyone want to add some names to my list?

None of them. I just can't rate any of them. Some of your list have been my MP. Wasn't that impressed.

Ah....another remainer thread. Well done.

@Flooopers what a disproportionately angry, spittle-flecked post, must've touched a nerve there.

You might want to revisit the Talk Guidelines, I cba reporting your pathetic post.

Take a look at the Reading Comprehension thread whilst you're there sweetcheeks.

I like Vernon Coaker who is our local MP.

I also really like Stella Creasy and Caroline Lucas.

And I respect Norman Lamb for his work on MH.

Since you didn't say UK only, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I watched the Netflix documentary about her and a few other women running for govt and she is dynamite. Pure charisma! She is only in her 20s but so well spoken and intelligent. I absolutely think she stands a great chance of being President.

I would have previously said Rachel Maskell, but I recently found out she voted against extending legal abortion to Northern Ireland. Her rhetoric regarding women's rights is not backed up by her voting record on abortion.

I know it’s my thread but good cal on internationals - I’m going to add Jacinda Ardern from NZ.

Magid is another great shout.

PS this thread is not a remainder thread @hadthesnip2 but even if it were, why os that cause for sarcasm?

*is

Well, I got my choice for Lib Dem leader a shame the two choices tomorrow aren’t good contenders, but I infinitely prefer Hunt.

Me too banana

Yvette Cooper
Keir Starmer
Rory Stewart
Ken Clarke
Ruth Davidson
Caroline Lucas

MEPs Seb Dance and Molly Scott Cato

Sheesh.

Some right charmers on these lists.

I have an unnecessarily massive crush on admiration for Sir Keir Starmer and I have always had a soft spot for Ken Clarke.
Although I do listen to an unreasonable amount of Radio 4 in the car and they do all tend to merge into one cacophany of voices all spouting the same stuff in the end.
