Peruvian lawyer Luciana Leon was voted the world’s most beautiful female politician followed by fellow countrywoman Mercedes Araoz
Home secretary Jacqui Smith and former transport secretary Ruth Kelly may have been among Blair’s Babes when the former prime minister took power in 1997.
But they fail to register in the internet survey for Spain’s popular 20 Minutos newspaper.
A journalist on the paper said: ‘I’m afraid Britain’s female politicians do not have a great reputation for their beauty.
‘But when you look at women politicians worldwide some of them really are very attractive.’
Hundreds of readers have emailed their opinions to the website – but not a single one has asked for a Brit to be added to the list.
