Would these two British MPs be considered average or darker-than-average in Southern Europe?

Stephen Twigg


John Redwood

[Sikeliot]

Lighter than average for both.

In Cyprus perhaps. I doubt in the rest of Southern Europe though, that's the point.

Southern europe is a big place mate... here they would be average and everywhere in Balkan they would not be considered dark.

They're about average for Spain, and lighter than average for southern Italy and Greece. I cannot think of a single place in southern Europe where they are darker than average.. neither is even dark!

One of them is partially Jewish however.

I've checked their biographies - they are not, although a good few other MPs are.

Light for sure. And if they were Albanian, Serbs would claim they are "Serbs in Denial"

I believe Twigg is partially.
