Bl**dy hell....now we have to live in a country where a person isn't allowed to show their support to their political views (which are not racist/bigotry etc)...because some kids happen to look up to him, despite not being able to vote themselves?


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....

Everyone has the right to vote for who they want except for the Queen. That's the joy of living in a democracy. Should we worry how William Roache and Barbara Windsor vote? I don't care.

LOL

Unless his Labour support consists of a video showing a materialising TARDIS and him in full Doc gear, he can do what he bloody well likes. And by the sound of it, you just don't like it that he's not supporting the Conservatives.

I think this thread should be renamed " dalekaddison! How dare you!"

I understand he has a right to an opinion but don't believe he should broadcast it so. And i wish to state that i to have a right to an opinion. I know, surprising isn't it? How an average Joe like myself has a right to moan. Even if that right may disagree with others i still can.

And secondly, conservatives got the job done! What about with that war over in that cold bit. They attacked us, Margerat kicked there ass in a short time. End of story. Labour however is merrily sending inadequatly supplied troops to there death in a war thats taken ages and hasn't really gone anywhere.

Besides, Labour over tax the average family to much just so the people on benefits who can't be assed to work can lounge around.

We have to many prisoners for our prisons. Why not get those who can't find work and are lounging to get jobs building new ones? Two birds with one stone.

Nope. Can't do that. Against there human rights. How dare they have to work for there money! Outragesous! Lets just let others work for them. Hurray!

And DTs backing this? He is allowed. But he can easily manipulate people. He's the frigging Doctor! If he said 'all Whoies, meet me here at this time for a party' who would go? You would! It makes sense when you think about it.

It's bogstandard manipulation if you think about it. And i have a right to not like it.

LOL

And he has a right to say what he wants, when he wants. He's not spouting hate-speech or anything.

If you want to vote Tory then feel free. That's between you and your conscience.

You know he doesn't really have psychic paper, right?

You have the right not to like it...but you don't have the right to tell him what he does....considering that the so called manipulation is near impossible...if anyone votes because he played the Doctor...well then the problem ios with them that they can be easily swayed....but i think the jo public will have better reasons for voting for whoever they do! I don't have that much of a little opion of them as you do...maybe because you feel tempted to vote for labour now that DT does...doesn't mean the rest of the world does...

No Matt Smith is the Doctor.

Ignoring the rest of your post, which has not relevence to this forum. (There is a very nice politics forum on DS if you want to argue about party politics.):

But everything you said is subjective. It's not about manipulation it's about people having a different opinion to you.

I don't personally agree with a a good chunk of what you said and I have valid reasons for doing so. I haven't been manipulated but DT or anyone else, I have formed my own opinion over my past experiences of both parties and formed my own views.

Your essentially saying unless everyone agrees with your view they are wrong. That is not the case.

Many famous faces throw their weight behind different parties, DT is hardly unique in doing this. You seem to only be singling him out because he hasn't jumped on the Cameron band wagon.

exactly its like me starting a thread complaining about Tom or Peter or Chris,s political allegiances if they did the same

He WAS the Doctor,past tense

No. There all the Doctor.

Jon Pertwee, Patrick Throughton and William Hartnell have been 'immortalised' by there roles as the Doctor. As there other shows go out of date, Doctor Who will continue and so will they. Every Doctor is as important as the last because without them it wouldn't be where it is now.

Usually I hate it when people tell others to get over the fact that DT is no more the Doctor and Matt is....for once I will say it myself! Dalekaddison get over DT he is no more the Doctor Matt is!!!!

My take on this subject is sort of a mix of what people are saying on here. Okay, Tennant isn't The Doctor anymore, that should give him the freedom to go out and pretty damn well publicly support what party he wants IF maybe there had been a bigger gap between him leaving and the election. Say if the election had been next year, he wouldn't be quite so fresh in people's memories. Matt Smith would be properly settled into the role by then so I think that'd be fine. I just think it's too close to him leaving, people are still seeing him as The Doctor and no doubt they'll be influenced, BUT on the other hand, I think people should have their own minds and not let celebrities dictate or persuade them who to vote for. If Peter Davison came out and supported a party it wouldn't influence me at all!

Oh, and the only reason i've brought DT up is because this is a Doctor who forum and he IS a Doctor. I'm not going to start a forum about everyone whose backed a party in a Doctor who forum am i? I find it a use of a cruel weapon to get celebrities to back parties. Actors can vote but there not really part of the party. If we all got DT's if we voted for LAbour i'd be in, but otherwise, hes just there to turn votes. If he was there just to broadcast his opinion he could do it on twitter.

What party was Harriet Jones in? You'd think he wouldn't want her lot in again.

People can support who they want, they can support the causes they believe in. He hasn't been bought by Labour, he genuinely believes they are the best thing for the country.

We all know the Monster Raving Loony Party will win anyway, so this conversation is pointless.

No, your just upset he hasn't backed David Cameron. Thats what the bottom line is. You've exposed the truth in your other posts in this thread. If Tennant was backing Cameron you'd have nothing to say on the subject. It's the truth and you know it.

They did not send letters to cancer patents.

Nothing said they would die if the Tories won.

Nothing said they would not get treatment.

They sent out legitimate leaflets explaining their cancer policy - diagnosis within one week, sometimes within a day and warning that the Tories could cut spending.

These leaflets were sent out to voters - some who had cancer, some who had not had cancer. It was just a random mailing shot like every party does.

NO HE ISN'T....
HE IS AN ACTOR.....



then you can start a general thread on the politics section about how celebrities are used for parties....and that would cover DT being involved as well...




What????????

What an actor or person decides to vote for in the up coming election is there personal choice at the moment I have made a choice not to vote for labour or the BNP. At the end of the day most people will able to tell the difference between David Tennant the Actor who has been a successful at his job and David Tennant the person.

"Vote for Labour and recieve your very own David Tennent". Now there's a winning slogan

Exactly. It's a job. He pays his taxes. He has a right to vote and he has a right to air is opinion or lend his support to any party he chooses. Actors have been doing this for years for all the main parties and probably for some of the fringe ones

The fact he was the Doctor until January 2010 has no bearing on this whatsoever.

Does the Op really believe that there are people over the age of 18 who are so gullible as to be swayed by the fact he is doing a voice over for the Labour party and vote Labour? Next the OP will be suggesting people think the Doctor is real!!!
