to wonder which major politician would make the best lover?

I'm not sure Milliband can breathe well through his nose, so he's definitely out.

My money's on Vince Cable.

Madder just to add to the Hague/Coe mental image I gave you earlier...don't think you're Gordon's type any more than 101handbags is Portillo's...

Ooohhhh wouldn't mind a bit of Clegg's sausage

Mariano Rajoy (president of Spain) has a lisp; definitely out in my book (short tongue).

Most politicians have evil eyes! Not sure I'd fancy any of them, buff or not.

Unity is there no one left!!! Please tell us we can have DM :o

Arnaud Montebourg (French ex-economy minister) and Jens Stoltenberg (Norway), ex-prime minister. Both would get it.

Apart from the younger Byronic Gordon Brown, modern politicians are a fugly lot. Which proves the old saying politics is show business for ugly people.

So I went in search of some historical hotties - politicians who were a bit more attractive.

How about Liverpool MP, Sir Banastre Tarleton:

Viscount Castlereagh?

Young Disraeli? Don't mind if I do.

And, a bit worrying this, young Stalin:

Alex Salmond

fanjo, 30 years ago..?

He'd probably be very... angry cos I'm English. But they do say it's a fine line between love and hate.

I was being a bit sarky

But go for it

Young Stalin is a stunner. I remember seeing that picture on the front of a biography and doing a double take when I realised who it was.

Alex Salmond? Noooooooooooooooo.

Although that's now made me think of a young Jimmy Reid who would definitely get it. Mibbie even twice.

Just Googled Young Alex Salmond and found this pic. Alastair Darling? I would. (Then - not now).

I actually developed a bit of a crush on David Cameron after meeting him a few times. I think he comes across a lot better in real life.
So my vote goes to him.

I'm surprised at all the votes for Gordon Brown? why!?!?

Nicholas (Fatty) Soames anyone?

One ex-lover described having sex with him as "having a wardrobe fall on top of you with the key sticking out"

Nice

Any of the new Greek govt. Tsipras, Varoufakis and co.

You would not need a thread like this to ponder, if you lived in Norway, where some political parties let their figureheads undress to pose for sexy party political calendars.....

You know, transparent politics, transparent agenda, naked politicans!!

Banastre, now there's a baby name to conjure with.

"Banastre darling, get down off that display of artisanal oatcakes"

Young Stalin looks hot, but deranged. (Unsurprisingly)

I'd still do Alastair Darling now.

Here, from a calendar of a party that mainly looks after farmers interests

I like young Stalin. I could have been an inspiration to him in his work.

I'm just going to put this here and let y'all have a play with it:
