From the past.
I'd have to choose my Dad's political hero.
Michael Heseltine.

Of the current crop.
Which yet may happen.
Conservative Rory Stewart.
Labour Dan Jarvis.

I am surprised at the low profile Dan Jarvis has occupied in the Labour Party.

Rory Stewart, for the Conservative Party, I still can see as a fair bet for the future.

Tony Benn

Actually yes to him too.

A man of great principle.
Everything I've read about him, or seen in political video clips of him, is impressive.

Tony Benn was the reason why I first voted Labour.

I'm going to surprise Joey and say John Smith. He would have been a great PM. He was a big loss to the labour party

Actually, I was only around 2 when he died.
However again, looking back at his time.
I'd have preferred him to Blair.

He seemed to have from what I've seen in clips.
A welcoming manner and looked and sounded competent.

With him too, there'd have been none of the NEW Labour tripe.
