With general election polling underway, why not take a moment to look back at the main party leaders when they were beautiful blossoms ready to flower.

Some of them were activists, speaking up for workers' rights (Jeremy Corbyn) or against the war in Iraq (Caroline Lucas). Some were fronting a post-punk, new-wave band “written off as a fourth rate New Order” (Tim Farron). One is the daughter of a vicar (Theresa May) while another had a sick hairstyle (Nicola Sturgeon) back in her days at Greenwood Academy.

We couldn't find a throwback pic for the youngest of 'em all -- 40-year-old Paul Nuttall, leader of the UKIP party -- but he probably doesn't mind, considering he is still only a youngster.

Enjoy, and remember to go out and vote!
