two spring to mind , Bessie Braddock and Harold MacMillan ( a Tory, who represented a coalfield constituancy for nearly 20 yrs during the depression of the thirties) .
Think the fact that both saw the effects of poverty during the Depression and of suffering and death during two World Wars left marks on both of them to do the best they could for the country .
