Vittoria – the daughter of Italian MEP Licia Ronzulli – stole the show in a parliamentary session in Strasbourg yesterday, raising her hand with her mum to vote on a new motion.

Alongside her favourite Teletubby toy, Vittoria helped her mum with her paperwork and played on her smartphone, behaving much better than the average politician.

Here are some pictures of Vittoria’s illustrious career in politics.
