Right. As everybody sane realises there is an election to come i thought i should turn you all to Gordon Browns latest weapon: David Tennant.
I have seen various locations in which DT has shown he has an interest for the Labour party. Radio times, Adverts, Articles ETC ETC. THIS IS WRONG!
I understand DT has a right to his opinion but he should not be allowed to broadcast it. I understand as well that everybody can tell there opinion but if you think this then you are, like his actions, wrong.
I, myself, have the Doctor as a rolemodel (
) but a i know limits. Younger viewers however will not. With David Tennant prancing around saying he's a labour man, many people will be swayed to liking them just because he does. It'S WRONG! It would be like a teacher telling his pupils to vote labour. Although, DT is not saying this, but he is suggesting they are good in a manner, which if a teacher did likewise, would probably be fired or punished for it.
This trick by Labour is corrupting our government. Again. And after reading Radio times' interview with Gordon Brown. It shows he is rather fond of DT as well.
This is just like that stunt they pulled awhile ago sending letters to cancer patients saying they would die if Conservative got in! Note: this is suggested by saying they would not get treatment.
David Tennant cannot broadcast his views. All hell would break loose if a blue peter presenter did likewise. People will easily be swayed to vote labour.
I think, therefore, David Tennant should apologize or something. He is misusing his Doctor powers.
Whose with me!?!?!?!
(I also find it odd he teams with the party who will become the Government his most famous character tried to stop. :rolleyes:)

Whoa whoa whoa!
Conservatives are great!
Way better than Labour.
Hes no longer the Doctor hes just another jobbing actor,and as a voter he is entitled to his opinion,i personally have no problem with it
What exactly is the problem?
Wrong i say! WRONG!
The Tories are a bunch of homophobes. Always have been and always will be. I would never even consider voting for them on that basis alone.
What has this got to do with Doctor Who, this isn't a politics fourum
Oh thats an idea, sod the voting. lets put David Tennant, Michael Caine and John Cleese in a cage fight to the death. whoever wins is the champion and their party win the election.
David has youth on his side, but Michael Caine is a wise old codger. John Cleese...well he's good for laughing at and will put a respectable fight but nothing too serious.
Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
sorry but who are you to say that
And right there you prove my prior post.
If Mr Tennant was behind the Tories you'd have no problem with him speaking up.
And the tories are a threat to the BBC and to Doctor Who by proxy, btw.
And I actually think it is quite a brave move for a (currently) unemployed actor to back an unpopular government.
Don't forgot that the Tories treated Scotland appallingly when they were in power. They even introduced the Poll Tax in Scotland a year earlier to 'try it out' before introducing it to the rest of country.
Can you imagine that? A government using your home country as a 'guinea pig' for a new form of taxation.
So that's (one reason) why Scottish people have particularly strong views about the possibility of a new Conservative government and I can't say I blame Scottish celebrities for speaking out.
I'm not Scottish, by the way.
lol - agreed! people should be making their own minds up.
well said, I may have a very different view on DT and, to some extent, Labour to you, but, as you say, any one of us are free to air our political views how we choose.
I also think DT was careful to steer clear of making these statements when still in the role because he was aware of his responsibility.
exactly most voters make their mind up by doing this totally random thing like listening to the policies of the party,not by which celeb is backing them this week:D
DT cannot but you can.
David has been a Labour supporter since forever....and most of his fans already know this....
And do you want both RTD and Moff to do the same, because they too have been vocal in their support for labour and against Tory....
