Richard C, 60, East Sussex -1nntrho">A portrait of the Reverend Richard Coles

Occupation Cleric, broadcaster, writer and Communard (retired)

Voting record Still Labor "I was a member of the party for a while. I joined for vote for Keir; I rather like Keir”

Amuse bouche Richard parachutes in. In his first tandem free fall, jumping from an airplane at 10,000 feet, he asked the instructor what was the worst thing that could happen. "He said, 'Fuck you completely and kill us both!'"

Richard D, 81, Oxford
A portrait of Richard Dawkins

Profession Evolutionary biologist, author, atheist

Record of votes Lib Dem. “At first it was because I liked Oxford MP Evan Harris, one of the few scientists in parliament and very intelligent. In the last election I was just passionately anti-Brexit”

Amuse bouche Richard plays the EWI (pronounced ee-wee), which means electronic wind instrument. "It looks like a clarinet, but can sound like anything that's ever been there. programmed: trumpet, tuba, cello, accordion, panpipes"

To start

RC, I grew up in a world of Christian values; I was a chorister when I was a child.

RD Me too.

RC I sang the music of the Anglican choral tradition.

RD Like me.

RC But I was an atheist...
