Putting aside political affiliations which politically connected figure (alive or dead) would you invite to dinner on election day because you like them and would like to talk over dinner or maybe because you fancy them and would like to.....................
Monsieur Smooth Edwina Currie and Christine Hamilton
Madame Smooth Huw Iranca-Davies and the late David Penhaligen
Maggie Thatcher and Winston Churchill.
What a fantastic night that would be. The two greatest PM's together round a dinner table.
Margaret Thatcher and Roy Hattersley. We have a very small table and I'd sit Roy directly opposite Maggie and serve something like white fish in a thick cheese sauce. Shortly into the meal I would as a question like ask "So in hindsight do you think it was a a good idea to sink the Belgrano" Then watch the sludging commence.
I'd go for Tony Benn (a hero of mine), Robert F. Kennedy, Huey P. Long (Governor of Louisiana, assassinated in 1935, not because I necessarily agree with all of his policies, but I'd love to have a really good debate with him about them), Barack Obama, Michael Portillo and (because this is fantasy-land!) I'd like Andrew Neill and Jeremy Paxman in there too.
Petra Kelly
Alexandra Kollontai
Barbara Castle
Hilary Clinton
Ethel Macdonald
I'd choose Shami Chakrabarti - not a party politician but a brilliant woman who is director of Liberty, and speaks up frequently in the media for our freedoms and rights, and against torture and terrorism.
Caroline lucas.
Now this notis because she shares my views ( which she does) nor because she has a brilliant mind ( which she has). It's because I would like to eat dinner off her body and then "DO" her til dawn.
This mind fetish is getting worse.
