Who is Canada’s sexiest MP?

There seems to be a changing of the guard, so to speak, happening on Parliament Hill.

On Monday, The Hill Times released their annual Political Savvy Survey.

In addition to questions like the best and hardest working MPs, the newspaper likes to have some fun and ask some fluffier questions. One of the most talked about categories every year is: who are the sexiest MPs?

This is where we're seeing the perennial favourites being replaced.

In the male category Peter MacKay — who is a 10-time winner of the Sexiest Male MP distinction — has been replaced by Justin Trudeau. The new Liberal leader has now won the honour for the third consecutive year with 31 per cent of the vote. Mackay falls to third place behind Trudeau and Conservative colleague Maxime Bernier.

Meanwhile, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel takes the honour of being the sexiest female MP. She beat out 7-time winner Rona Ambrose and Tory colleague Candice Bergen.

When The Hill Times asked MacKay about this year's contest he rolled his eyes and said: "That's not what I came here for."

For those, like MacKay, who roll their eyes at this sort of thing or complain about it not being politically correct — it's all in good fun.

And, we're by no means the only country that does this sort of thing.

Recently, the Chicago Tribune website hosted a slideshow of hot American politicians. Both President Obama and former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin were on that list.

In the UK, an individual caused a stir by launching SexyMP.co.uk. The website shows random pictures of two MPs and asks: "Which MP would you rather have sex with?"

Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt is currently in the lead.
