1. Hazel Blears
2. David Davis
3. Vince Cable
4. Wendy Alexander
5. Michael Martin

Hmm.. missing an angle here, forget the books, collar the market in the musicals, and your fortune shall be made..
Blears - Eager Beaver Chipmunk Fever. Featuring the songs of the Bee Gees.. A lowly working class dancer tries to hit the big-time in the big, bad city relying on her wits and her, er, wisdom to make it, well as large as she can manage in high heels really..
David Davis - A subtle re-working of that high culture epic 'Chess' by those musical polymaths Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, who has subtly changed the words to..
"One night in Haltem-price and Howden... I can fell an angel sliding up to me.."
Michael Martin - Phantom on the Expense Account - a touching tale in which a hideously disfigured Speaker somehow manages to land a mutually beneficial relationship with a lady with expensive tastes in travel and dining...
Vincent Cable - A non-sexist working of the fable of Cinderella in which Vincent does get to go to the ball to dance with the lovely Alesha, who then has to repatriate his slip-on which has become slip-off, all to the music of Mis-teeq..
Wendy Alexander - Well, I'm sorry to be so predictable, but it just has to be Evita doesn't it ? She takes other peoples money so that she can lavish it on herself and the poor folk of Scotland despite the fact that she doesn't have the charisma or power of Eva Peron.. so she ends up living alone with a wide variety of stray cats she has taken in..
Based on the book 'Old Possum's book of Characterless Prats..'
