It eventually got Michael Gove and Danny Alexander; but I beat it with Nick Gibb (the Minister for Schools) and my MP Nicola Blackwood - she actually is a classical singer by original profession, and I think that confused the hell out of Akinator.

Rather to my surprise, it got Ed Balls quite quickly - though in the process, it asked if he rode on a flying carpet!
