At a time of strong political division within society there is one game that can cross any political, economic or social divide: Smash or Pass. I have assembled ten people and had them either smash or pass six top politicians from across the globe to give them a ‘smash rating’ out of ten to find out once and for all who is the ultimate fantasy in politics.
Angela Rayner- Smash rating: 6/10. Rayner divided opinions amongst our participants, but ‘Big Ange’ as she was lovingly referred to, scored quite well, maybe this Labour government needs a new face in charge of things.
Tim Walz- Smash rating: 3/10. Despite having an approval rating that’s fairly strong for a VP this hasn’t done much for him here unfortunately, one interviewee did say however he seems like a very giving lover, for what it's worth.
Penny Mordaunt- Smash rating: 8/10. I guess that famous picture of her holding the sword has left quite the lasting impression, Mordaunt may be out of government at the minute, but she hasn’t left our hearts and minds.
Jacob Rees Mogg- Smash rating 1/10. Surprised he’s even got a one, to be honest I was expecting zero. I guess one of our respondents has a thing for men who look straight out of a Charles Dickens book.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez- Smash rating 9/10. The top ‘smash’ on our list goes to AOC. She's made waves in US politics (and our hearts it seems) by fighting the super wealthy, as the youngest in this list, it’s unsurprising to see her at the top.
Emmanuel Macron- Smash rating 7/10. We’re going to France for our last pick, where we unsurprisingly find our top ranking guy, mass protests and losing his control over parliament haven’t deterred our respondents, many will still give him a chance.
