Voters may have to wait until 2015 to have their say on how effective their MP has been in Parliament – but can rank how attractive they are right now on a website.
Users of the Sexy MP website pick which MP they find most fanciable out of two randomly selected pictures.
The score is then calculated for each MP’s individual tally while the user picks from the next pair.
The website ranks all 648 sitting MPs – 506 men and 142 women and rankings can change at any time.
Yesterday Bradford East MP David Ward was ranked the most attractive MP across the district ranked at 188th, followed by Shipley MP Philip Davies at 297, Keighley MP Kris Hopkins at 309, Bradford South MP Gerry Sutcliffe at 346 and Bradford West MP Marsha Singh at 449.
The top ten on the list were mostly dominated by the new 2010 intake of MPs. Jake Berry, Tory MP for Rossendale and Darwen, was top of the men’s list and Liverpool Wavertree Labour MP Luciana Berger is top of the women’s list.
Prime Minister David Cameron was ranked 113 out of all male MPs, trailing behind Labour leader Ed Miliband, who is ranked 75th and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg came in at 118.
The founder of the website is 22-year-old Francis Boulle, who appears in reality TV show Made In Chelsea and will one day inherit a diamond mine.
He said: “In addition to my wanting to create a fun and memorable tool to help the British public get to know their Members of Parliament, I thought it would be an interesting opportunity to hold the first ever parliamentary beauty contest and find out once and for all which MPs and parties have the most sex-appeal. Although I fully expect this to offend some people, this was never my intention and I hope you will see the funny side.”
The site is modelled on Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, which randomly plucked pictures of two students and asked viewers to rate which one was more attractive.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg started his empire from his university dormitory at Harvard where he hacked into the university’s files to download the pictures of every student, which were randomly uploaded two at a time.
The site expanded into Facebook, which experts say is worth £60 billion.
