I don't know if anyone who watched Ed wielding his little hammer can confidently claim he's not embarrassing. Vince is embarrassingly pro-China. Ming is pretty solid as Lib Dems go, but painfully dull.

I'm not sure why anyone would be inclined to pick any of them.

Drakeford... Salmond... Blackford... hmmm...

Is it Alex Salmond?
No

You realize that's question #20 and any free guesses are gone after that?

I can find several images online of Gerry Adams with a gun, so it won't be him.

Jerry Adams was never an Member of Parliament because he refused to swear the iath, surely? I don't recall seeing him with a gun, though

Hmmm... I guess it's something of a grey area. But for the sake of the game it seems passable.

The embarrassing question, not so much. I can't think of many people who had more to be embarrassed about :razz:

My mistake - the main thing I found was a picture Gerry Adams re-tweeted featuring another dark-haired, glasses-wearing Irish republican, holding a gun - I was incorrect.

He was Member of Parliament for Belfast West for a number of years. He did not sit in Parliament, but he was the elected Member.
