rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted May 16, 2015 @rockhopper - John Boakes, UKIP Candidate in Thirsk and Malton died during the GE campaign in 2010 and delayed the election by a couple of weeks. Don't have time for serious research, so here's the first 30 members of parliament I can think of without resorting to google (I tried doing this with constituencies but could only muster up 20). Dennis Skinner Jacob Rees-Mogg Zac Goldsmith Chris Bryant Yvette Cooper Ed Miliband Gerald Kaufman Angus Young Mahri Black David Davis Tristram Hunt Mary Creagh Theresa May Ronnie Campbell Sharon Hodgson David Anderson Liam Byrne Phillip Hammond Boris Johnson Nadine Dorries Nicholas Soames Jeremy Corbyn Stephen Kinnock Hilary Benn Margaret Hodge Norman Lamb Eric Pickles Sally Bercow John Bercow Yvette Cooper I accept your entry but I will need at least one other name as Sally Bercow may be many things but not a sitting MP. There's a good joke in there somewhere but potentially libellous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right just give away your tactics like a free sample of PG Tips. I've already submitted my not entirely serious team. Another tip is look at those staying behind during the Queens Speech, some may be doing it to save health rather than due to anti-monarchists and anti-house of lords sentiment, although good luck finding them amid the hoard of SNP, Lib Dem, Irish Nats Green and backbench Labourites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted May 23, 2015 So there are now six teams on the board and I am pleasently surprised by the range of entries. One think that it has made me think is that some of our constituencies have very silly names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted May 23, 2015 I've often wanted East Dunbartonshire constituency to change its name to one including "Milngavie", just for the poor English BBC journalists to try and pronounce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted May 27, 2015 Eight teams are lined up at the starting tape now. Back at wrork today so I wasn't able to watch the Queen's speech to see who looked ill, rebellious, guilty or ambitious. I am expecting a flurry of teams to come in now. Of course it may be the case some MPs won't last until my arbitary starting date. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted May 29, 2015 If you have not yet submitted a team but intend to could you let me know either here or in the PM. Many thanks. Database filled with all eight teams (although one team needs a replacement) Everyone who has submitted a team already should have had a reply to their DM. Apart from Deathray who was happy to share his team on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted May 29, 2015 Well I looked up the first name and it was Daniel Zeichner so I was gonna go with "Most Jewish-sounding MPs" but then the 2nd down was a Scottish constituency so forget it. I "give up" (as though I cared anyway). No wait, it's a Labour guy at the top then half the rest must be SNP, is it MPs with most recorded death threats to Netanyahu? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
