Just take your grandparent's first name, your childhood street name and your first headteacher's name.

I get:

Henry Chester-Wedgebury.

I think I am definately a safe seat - somewhere in Gloucestershire.

John Tennyson-Bradbury -> Definitely something rural, perhaps even a relative to Lord Tennyson himself?

That is your first pet's name and then street name. John Tennyson-Bradbury would be some of the worst porn ever made...

No I think you are a young Etonian being parachuted into to a safe seat as you father is a big money backer of the party.

I resent that implication!

My parents constituency (Stroud - where I grew up) has been Labour since 97 with Dr Drew. Can't speak for places like Cheltenham or Cirencester though... not as many burned out hippies there as in Stroud...

My Tory Mp name sounds a bit too arty, maybe pushing the boundaries of the Portillo faction: Marcel Street-Griffiths

I get Allen Glen-Shakeshaft.

Should be good for a north yorks seat. Possibly Harrogate.

Eeek!

I'd be James Belmont-Sister Patrice....

Somehow I think the popish flair of that wouldn't do me as much good.

OK I guess, but it makes me sound like a Presbyterian

I think you are definately a Conservative and Unionist MP. Lived in Belfast all your life, but somehow have an English accent.

Family seat in Suffolk. Lowest attendence ever recorded at Parliament in a year.

You'd be one of those (rare) "pulled meself up by my bootstraps" yorkshire businessman MPs. A shining career cut short by a bribery scandal while working as a consultant in Bahrain.

I was born and lived in Belfast until I was six, so that's almost right

^^T'was my first career choice, LOL. Second was Lawyer & Journalist. However, Nixon (and my friends and neighbors, according to the letter he sent) had other plans for me.

But Jemima Crowe-Murphy works perfectly.

You'd be a prospective candidate for a seat the Tories don't expect to win. You'd look a bit like this:





She's the prospective candidate for Exeter. All very jolly hockey sticks and tax breaks for millionaires.

You might be that rarest of Tory MPs - one with a brain. Which means you will attract enemies like flies round &^%t and after a brief spell in the cabinet, get photographed walking out of a high class brothel. Your loyal wife will publically forgive you, but the party faithful won't.

LOL. I've never met one before or since. Sadly the guys dead now* but I remember when his name came up in class one day, (I was about 10 at the time), he said it was a derivation of Shakespear, sounds plausible but then again he might have been bigging himself up.

*I owe this man a huge debt for getting me dropped from the school footy team so I could concentrate on my 11 plus. Otherwise I'd be even more ignorant than I am now.

Grandparent, Strike, grandparent. Some people also have grandmothers not just grandfathers.
