53% : Ann Widdecombe, who became a national but popular figure of fun with her "galumphing" appearance on TV's Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, was one of the most forthright, hard-hitting and formidable politicians of her generation, first as a Conservative and later for the Brexit Party and then Reform.
43% : A great donkey lover, she was a staunch supporter of Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land which rescues injured, neglected and abused donkeys in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
