I've always liked the Beast of Bolsover..Dennis Skinner.What you saw and heard was what you got.A man who held to his beliefs and the rights of the workers and probably one of the most fiscally honest MPs ever.

He also refuses to adopt the Pairing system in which he can pair with a Conservative MP and if one misses a vote, the other one can, saying he won't cover for them whilst they "Go swanning off to Ascot or to their boardrooms". As well as this, Skinner holds the distinguished position of being an MP who claims the least expenses from the government, being in third of the 'bottom five' claimers. In The 2004 - 05 sitting of the House, claiming the least expenses for an MP who served the full year.

I also like Tony Benn not necessarily for his politics but because I truly think of him as an honest politician.

Oh and by the way I'd rather have had any of the above for the last 30 years rather than this chap.
