It’s election day! But with one in four of us still not sure which way to vote, we thought we’d help out by giving you a blow-by-blow account of the most important political issue of the day: the hotness of the male candidates.

That’s a joke, obvs. It’s WAY more important to establish what they stand for and how they’d act as your local MP. Buuuut… let’s face it, there’re fairly few politicians in Parliament who’d end up as heat’s Torso Of The Week.

So here are the political candidates who ARE easy on the eye. We wouldn’t mind eyeing up THEIR ballot box, fnar fnar fnar etc etc.

Also, Rick Edwards says GO AND VOTE, so make sure you do today.
