The only politician I had any faith in was John Smith the Leader of the Labour Party and MP for Monklands East. |

One Foot, I so have to agree with you about John Smith. We lost more than a politician when we lost John Smith. We lost a human being, in touch with the common man, the voter. |

I may not agree with politicians like Enoch powell but i did admire him he never changed his beliefs unlike politicians today who are led solely by public opinion polls and don't have any beliefs of their own. |

I have a great deal of respect for Tony Benn , one of the last 'conviction' politicians I think. ( Interesting to read about his grandfather also) |

Enoch Powell for reasons already given here. His biography by Andrew Roth made an impression on me - printed in late seventies. |

Porkie Pie, I agree with you - I too admired Margaret Thatcher. I think she was a remarkable woman especially as she was a woman completely in a man's world, (and what pompous chauvanist men they were!!) Of course she got things wrong, we all do, but by god she batted for Britain, and fought this countries corner, again in the face of patronising, sometimes bullying MEN!! compared to today's 'crew' on all sides of the political spectrum, she was head and shoulders above them both in conviction and courage. As for Enoch Powell, I think realist is a word that comes to mind, not racist. A brilliant man, and again with deep convictions. |

I liked Clare Short. I quite admired Thatcher too in some ways but I would never have voted for her and I think she did a lot of harm. |

I liked Mo Mowlan, she worked so hard to help secure a resolution to the troubles in Northern Ireland, despite her brain tumour. |

I agree with others about Mo Mowlam, Shirley Williams, Tony Benn and John Smith. All MPs who I think of as having integrity |
