General Election 2015

[FIVEeleven]

The general election is only 25 days away! If you want to vote for the parties with the tallest leaders, here are their heights:
Nick Clegg - Deputy Prime Minister - MP for Sheffield Hallam - Liberal Democrat - 6ft 1
David Cameron - Prime Minister - MP for Witney - Conservative - 6ft 0
Ed Miliband - MP for Doncaster North - Labour - 5ft 11
Nigel Farage - Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Thanet South • UKIP - 5ft 10
Peter Robinson - First Minister for Northern Ireland - DUP - 5ft 9
Leanne Wood - Plaid Cymru - 5ft 6
Natalie Bennett - Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for London Holborn and St Pancras - Green - 5ft 5
Nicola Sturgeon - First Minister for Scotland - Scottish National Party - 5ft 4

If you live in the constituency of Shrewsbury and Atcham, then you are very lucky because your MP, Daniel Kawczynski is 6ft 8 and reportedly the tallest MP ever.

I wouldn't call those having to suffer Kawczynski lucky (though they are lucky to live in beautiful Shrewsbury), wasn't he the one who told that one legged army veteran to stop scrounging and get a job?

I've seen rather than properly met Toby Perkins (Lab-Chesterfield) a few times through work, as he's on a committee I prepared some stuff for - 6ft6/7 but built like a sherman tank.

Yeah he does look like a big man.

May I pay my tributes to former Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, who has died at the age of just 55. He was one of the most talented politicians that I can remember.
