Please base ratings purely on political ability and/or your own bias and not their policies or any nonsense like that.

I'll start off:

Best:
Alex Salmond (sleekit bugger but hard to get past)
Vince Cable (seems to be universally liked despite poor haircut)
Mandelson (uurrgghhh, horrible horrible man but very capable)
Thatcher (tough as nails)
Boris (clearly insane but not without charm)
Charles Kennedy (talented but unfortunately ginger + liked a drink, an unfortunate scottish combo)

Worst
Gordon Brown (As much fun as a dreich day in Kirkcaldy)
Michael Foot (Too close to death to be talken seriously)
Michael Howard (Too creepy for words + funny accent = Vampire)
That Oaten guy from the lib-dems who liked rent boys (for obvious reasons)
Nick Britten (or indeed any racist BNP people)
Robert Kilroy-Silk (no-one is that orange !)

Denis Healey's eyebrows were better than just about anything going today. Tony Benn said it how it was too.
Politicians were interesting back then - had something about them. These days they all look and sound the same so it doesn't matter which colour lizard you vote for.
