John Bercow caused a stir this week when his £37,000 "vanity portrait" and coat of arms were unveiled.
The official painting, by British artist Brendan Kelly, shows Bercow in full flow in the famous Speaker's chair, wearing black robes and a Commons tie.
Now the dust has settled over the huge amount it cost the public purse, we thought we'd rate the two to find out who offers more bang for the taxpayers' buck.
SEX APPEAL
While we don't think there are more than a dozen women in this world who would describe the Speaker as "sexy", his wife begs to differ.
Sally Bercow told the Evening Standard in February that since coming to office his sex appeal has rocketed, confessing: “Since John became Speaker, the number of women who hit on him has gone up dramatically. I don't get jealous because more men have hit on me, too.”
But despite the extra women flinging themselves at the Speaker, we still think his coat of arms wins. Its "all are equal" motto and rainbow scrolls are there to represent Bercow's championing of LGBT rights, and there is a ladder to represent social mobility.
And really, what's sexier than a symbol of equality? Who Wins: The coat of arms
ANNOYING FACTOR
"Order, order" - honestly, if we hear this one more time there's a chance we may explode. If there's one thing more annoying than naughty politicians, then it's the bloke trying to control them.
Just ask the Daily Mail's sketchwriter Quentin Letts who officially labelled Bercow the third most annoying MP - trailing behind Labour power couple Yvette Cooper and Ed Balls.
We can't say it better than Letts, who complained: "What an orotund, obnoxious fake he is. Vowels like Inspector Clouseau. Unwilling to use one phrase when five will do. Suffers not so much from verbal diarrhoea as verbal dysentery. As for his Doris ..."
There's simply no contest to speak of against an inanimate portrait. Who Wins: The Speaker
WORTH THE MONEY?
The Speaker makes £146,000 per year, so at £37,000 it would seem getting a more attractive, less annoying version is totally worth the money.
Just ask Matthew Sinclair of the Taxpayers' Alliance, who slammed Bercow's costly portrait: "Following the MPs' expenses scandal, parliament should be cutting costs, not throwing taxpayers' money away boosting John Bercow's ego. Michael Martin was thrown from the job for wasting taxpayers' money, so the current Speaker should be much more careful with how he spends our hard-earned cash."
Bercow was also in trouble this month for spending £3,700 of taxpayers' cash on suits.
But the speaker has been praised by backbenchers for getting through more questions and getting members of the coalition to deliver more statements at short-notice.
It's just a shame the painting can't oversee debates in the House of Commons. Who Wins: The Painting
