Shropshire Tories in sexiest MP poll
Tuesday 31st May 2011, 11:29AM BST.
Two Shropshire MPs have been named among the most sexy parliamentarians in the country.
Shrewsbury and Atcham MP Daniel Kawczynski is the 20th cutest male MP – and comes in as the 44th most attractive politician overall on a cheeky new website which asks voters to rate the aesthetic appeal of their Westminster’ representatives.
Hot on his heels is fellow Tory Owen Paterson, Northern Ireland Secretary, and MP for North Shropshire, who is ranked 21st of all the men, and 5th overall.
Website sexymp.co.uk pits randomly picked pictures of two politicians against each other and asks visitors which one is the most fanciable based purely on their looks.
It ranks all 648 sitting MPs – 506 male and 142 female.
So far, the top places are dominated by the new intake of 2010 – with Conservative Penny Mordaunt hailed the sexiest – and multi-millionaire Tory Zac Goldsmith topping the list of male politicians.
Also in the top 10 are Labour’s Luciana Berger and Tories Elizabeth Truss, Nicola Blackwood, Charlotte Leslie and Joseph Johnson.

was this a government run poll to try and make our MP’s appeal to the masses?
So Owen Patterson is 21st of all men but only 5th overall, how does that work out? he’s 21st out 504 but 5th out of 650

I think it’s a typo for Owen. The website lists him as #48 overall.
I’d have much rather have seen all the candidates in their swimwear though.
I’m surprised that “Demanding Dan” hasn’t in fact demanded a recount.
