(2 of 2)
A rabid publicity hound (he posed for a magazine fashion spread knocking down two pillars, a la Samson), Livingstone disarms critics with his self- deprecating humor.

An animal fancier who keeps newts and lizards, Livingstone may never reach 10 Downing Street, but his irreverence will probably help keep him on the public stage for years to come. That is, if he doesn't tire of playing the flamboyant maverick. "Anyone who enjoys being in the House of Commons," he said after his recent expulsion, "probably needs psychiatric care."
