Take your pick, all probably quite unrealistic, but Channel 5 should get someone

Ed Balls?
Nigel Farage?
Esther McVey? (:smug:)
Natalie Bennett?
Jim Murphy? (they like their Scottish politicians)

Or will we just get that man who thinks gay adoption is child abuse and makes Danielle McMahon look like Daffyd Thomas.

Vince Cable could be a good one,instead of pretending to be a cat,as George Galloway did,Cable would do a rat perfectly.

Yeah but Nadine Dorries is just an irrelevant woman, Ed Miliband wouldn't rebel.

If anything we will see Farage or Balls I think.

Someone from UKIP sadly D:

Godfrey Bloom?


-A few weeks after being appointed to the European Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality on 20 July 2004, Bloom told an interviewer that, "no self-respecting small businessman with a brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing age."[27] Around the same time, he said that "I just don't think [women] clean behind the fridge enough" and that "I am here to represent Yorkshire women who always have dinner on the table when you get home."[26][28] Bloom told BBC Radio 4's Today that his comments were "said for fun" to illustrate a more serious point, that equal-rights legislation was, he claimed, putting women out of work.[26]

-Bloom confessed that he had visited brothels in Hong Kong. He claimed he never consummated the visits, and also claimed "terrified young women beaten into prostitution often from Eastern Europe [...] is only a very small aspect of the flesh trade", and concluded that "in short, most girls do it because they want to."[29]

-After inviting students from the University of Cambridge Women's Rugby Club to Brussels in 2004, he was accused of sexual assault, making "sexist and misogynistic remarks" and using offensive language during a dinner party. One student handed a formal letter of protest to the President of the European Parliament, heavily criticising Bloom's behaviour. Bloom, who sponsored the club with £3,000 a year, admitted making misogynist comments, but denied sexual harassment.[30][31]

-In a piece for politics.co.uk in August 2013, Bloom attempted to set the record straight about his earlier comments on gender equality.[9] He argued against quotas for women in boardrooms, claimed that feminism was a "passing fashion" created by "shrill, bored, middle-class women of a certain physical genre" and that any men who supported feminism were "the slightly effete politically correct chaps who get sand kicked in their face on the beach." He said that women were better at "[finding] the mustard in the pantry" than driving a car.[32][33]

-On 24 November 2010, Bloom was ejected from the European Parliament after directing a Nazi slogan at German MEP Martin Schulz who was speaking in a debate on the economic crisis in Ireland. Bloom interrupted Schulz and shouted "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" at him.[9][40] He then proceeded to call the latter "an undemocratic fascist", a remark for which he was removed from the chamber. Labour MEP group leader Glenis Willmott described his behavior as "an insult to all those who have fought against fascism" whilst Liberal Democrat group leader Fiona Hall described him as a "national embarrassment".[40]

-In July 2013, Bloom made a speech about Britain's foreign aid in which he referred to countries as "Bongo Bongo Land". A video was passed to The Guardian newspaper.[43] A spokesman for UKIP was reported as saying that Bloom's remarks were being "discussed right at the very highest level of the party".[43] After refusing to apologise,[9] he later said he regretted the comments[44] but clarified it by saying that whilst he intended it to be derogatory, he regretted that it had caused offence and he didn't mean it to be racist.[9] Party leader Nigel Farage later asked him not to use the phrase again.[45]

-In an interview in August 2013, Bloom described Prime Minister David Cameron as "pigeon-chested; the sort of chap I used to beat up."[9]

-During a LBC Radio interview in November 2013, he called for the unemployed and public sector workers to lose the right to vote.[46]
