The Troughton Party Needs You

As a party, we are committed to maintaining a safe and productive continuum. Under a Troughton Government, all citizens of the vortex will receive a free recorder, and the benefit of NO VAT on large hats, bow ties, checked trousers, jackets and pointy shoes.

We propose that a Running Day be held every year, where willing participants must run to their destinations with their arms in the air at all times. Under a Troughton Government, child obesity levels will drop radically.

Our schools policy is designed to help you and your children to a brighter future. In schools, children will be taught about the pointlessness of logic, and will be specially trained to deal with infuriating computers. As a Genius, our leader has all the right policies to bring our education standards to a whole new high. Every child will be taught how to use their free recorder under our music programme, and we fully expect there to be a huge rise in the number of talented young musicians.

A major part of our defense policies involve the protection of the continuum from alien invaders, especially preventing the global domination of the Cyber Party, who are intent on forcing every single voter to change their appearance, even against their will.

The elderly & frail will benefit from our outdoor heating systems, which will also serve to deter the Ice Warriors from invading.

The Troughton Party acknowledges that, in the event of a hung continuum, we may have to negotiate with other parties, such as the Baker and Hartnell Parties, with whom we have worked before. If an amicable arrangement can be agreed, we will even work with the Fancypants Pertwee Party.

Please, do not vote for such brutal forces such as The Sontaran Party, or the Cyber Party, but vote for us. The Troughton Party.

As a party, we have a great track record of keeping our companions well informed, and we really are the best choice, not for our future, but for yours.

Vote Troughton!

The Tennant Party : a bright future ahead so allons-y !

Our program


Education

We have planned a wonderful new curriculum for students : developping French language and neologisms, physical activities and particularly running or fencing, a lot of physics physics physics and physics, and compulsory study of The Lion King.

Our leader is a grandfather technically. And he's also a Dad very concerned by education and the difficulties of raising teenage daughters when you are a single parent.


Economy

Tourism will be a major point of our economy program. New attractions we'll be developped in London : the Fly in a Bus over London attraction or the Giant Cyberman Water Chutes in the Thames.

One major point in our economic program is the development of green and organic agriculture on Britain's soil. We've proved how interested we were in hothouses (see our Mars contribution for instance) and in alternate power sources (please check our use of the Cardiff rift as fuel for our engines).

We plan on developing solar powered hothouses with organic fruits and vegetables (including bananas) to make Britain self reliant, but those hothouses would also be part of our educational policy with students invited to visit them for free !

The future is our concern !

Taxes, taxes, that's all other parties think about and never tell out loud ! The Tennant party has shown many times that it supports some novel economy ideas that'll help the industry and the agriculture, hence making us again economically strong without over taxing our voters !


Beyond our borders

We went to Rome, we even went to Dubai and clearly no other party went that far ! The Tennant party truly is intent on promoting the wonders of the United Kingdom throughout Europe and the universe.

We'll also develop diplomatic foreign relationships. We might venture towards a genocide or two, but that'll only help us in maintaining a strong grip on the other nations, just to remind them all we're here to defend you.

Furthermore, we defeated Rassilon no less - among many others - and at the same time saved the Earth from a terrible fate !


Making people's life better

The Tennant Party is proud to present its One Banana Daiquiri A Day Program. Our program began back in the 18th century which proves how seriously we take this program since it has been going long and strong for all that time !

We'll take care of you : each household will be provided with one screwdriver to fix everything. We'll also provide unlimited stocks of red or white Converses, for free !

Voters do not need party leaders taking the moral high ground. Our own leader has amended his ways in that regard, and on the contrary we deeply value humanity, even in sort of refugee camps, and we deeply love quaint grand dads with reindeer-like hats to the point of sacrificing our lives for them !


Our team, at your service

We have one female companion with either an unbuttoned shirt or a low cut Victorian dress (much classier than Victorian under garments !), one female companion dressed as a maid or in tight jeans, one female companion with a low cut and stunning purple dress. Not mentioning a beefcake parallel universe freedom fighter/independent alien fighter ! And our leader is also dedicated to meeting himself new people as he is notoriously not averse to dancing !

In the Tennant Party, we maintain a strong grip on our teammates to prevent corruption : we feel free to lock them (twice) in parallel universe, to treat them like unwanted garbage until they leave or to wipe their memories to be certain we'll get rid of them (because we've realised that the locking in the parallel universe might not work under some circumstances).

But ladies and men in the Tennant Party have a beauty which is on par with their intelligence and their compassion.Others often are nothing but moaners with physical advantages : our ladies have physical advantages and also know how to handle a situation and a spanner, not just how to handle unbuttoned shirts and short shorts !


A leader at face value

The leader of our party is already on many screensavers. As usual, the Tennant party proves that we are the best prepared to assume the PM role.

While some parties need to look clever, the leader of the Tennant party wears glasses it only because it looks stylish. In that way, we help reducing all nasty remarks directed at poorly sighted people, because when someone as stylish and dashing as our leader wears glasses, it is a new trend !

Some have called us arrogant. Yes, we know, we called ourselves the Party Victorious, but that's more to, you know, show the spirit. Alleged rumours of our Party Leader doing just as he pleases are of course fake and greatly exaggerated. As always, he remains a very humble man.

Vote for us : a bright future is ahead of us all with the Tennant Party... So allons-y !

A MESSAGE FROM THE DAVISON PARTY

Voters of Britain, to misquote an old adversary, Please attend carefully, the following policies are of vital importance to you all!

EDUCATION

Running down corridors to be made compulsory in all schools so children get good daily exercise. Cricket to be made compulsory to all children so our leader can share his skills of the sport. Under this Policy, we can guarantee The Ashes will never leave these shores. Tereptil Geography to be introduced to counter the poor standard of this subject in schools. A badge of Mathmatical Excellence to be introduced for brighter pupils. Celery to be introduced on the lunchtime menu.

NHS
Spectrox to be added to the NHS Drugs list as well as teaching the dangers of Spectrox Toxemia and Spectrox Nests.

MILITARY
A Brave Heart medal for all our courageous Troops on the front line.

GENERAL

We maintain our pledge for cleavage busting ladies for regeneration for the men but we also can provide hot hunks for those ladies out there who undergo the process as well.
A ban on Dangerous Snakes(Mara, etc) and Frogs(Urbankans etc)

A new source of ZAP energy for all homes using TARDIS Power. This will bring down electric prices.

A VAT Reduction on all Half-Framed Spectacles

A ban on all Banners over the end of programmes plus credits squeezing which we find annoying.

All Sci-Fi shows to last at least an hour and for more than 13 episodes a year.

So there you have it Dear Voter. The rest of our policies can be found on the main thread but those mentioned above are our main priorities.

Remember Britain is a democracy, not a dictatorship. If you vote for a non-Doctor Party, remember your life as you know will end. No more Smelling Flowers, Watching a Sunset or Eating a Well Prepared Meal. These things are what life is all about and enhances life in General.

The Davison Party is THE only Doctor Party to have kept in touch with voters on a daily basis. Therefore a vote for us is an obvious choice.

VOTE FOR THE DAVISON PARTY TODAY!

Remember Voters, when you come to vote, Brave Heart!

Oh, and Thankyou!

The Troughton Party would urge as many people as possible to vote on this vortex - changing issue, irrespective of the Parties they support. We want to help you build a better future, but can only do so with your vote.

I am sure that every party involved in this election will agree that we need your view of things, and yes, even your questions and criticisms. It is vital that you make the right choice

No Smith Party?

The Troughton Party would like to state its full support of the sadly absent Smith party, and fully commends them on both policy and clothing

Today we will set out the reasons why you should vote for the Harkness Party. We believe that our record speaks for itself. Over the last 100 years our leader, Captain Jack Harkness, has worked fearlessly to protect this country from enemies, both within and without. We cannot state often enough how many times he has been willing to die to protect the people of this nation and indeed this planet. He has fought to protect Britain in two world wars. He has fought aliens and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect humans. This is how far he is willing to go to protect the people of Britain and he has a loyal party behind him.
So on this important day make the right decision for the future health, wealth and happiness of this great nation and vote

HARKNESS

What do we stand for?

Ours is an all inclusive party, open to everyone regardless of well anything really. We have no problem with welcoming aliens to our shores as long as they live productive lives.

We have a strong defence policy that is kind to genuine refugees. But we will defend the country against those who want to harm us. Our party has a long and successful history in this area.

We will work with the police through our justice expert, Gwen Cooper. The system will really care about everyone but we will have no problem in locking up those that deserve such treatment.

We will continue to support the health service by offering specialist services and understanding. Our health minister, Owen Harper has developed many new ideas that will benefit mankind and improve recovery rates. And we have contacts with a very good doctor. We will also offer a great dental package so you too can have shiny white teeth.

Our party promise an end to the constant bureaucratic blunders and IT leaks that have happened recently. We have great filing and IT systems in place which no one will be able to hack into. We can assure the general public that their personal records are safe with us. All records will need a photo as our information expert, Ianto Jones has a photographic memory. He is hoping to learn all your names. He also looks good in a suit.

Talking of suits we beleive that the youth of the day would look be if they were well dressed. We will offer better clothes to the young for interviews etc. We want to get Britain working.

We also have new and interesting technology to investigate and develop which will help with many areas such as health, transport and global warming.

We believe in equality in all areas. Everyone, no matter what, will receive the same treatment. There will be no discrimmination in a country run by the Harkness Party.

Education will be central to everything we do. We want all to achieve their potential and find their niche in society. Braces will be a compulsory part of uniforms so that trousers will not be around their knees. We believe you should look smart to be smart.

And for the older voter we know what it is like to be of the older generation as our leader has been around for a while. We offer winter great coats to keep out those chills.

So if you want action from a man prepared to embrace you all vote for us. You know it makes sense.

The Troughton Party Prides itself on co operation, and would lik eto make clear to voters the exact details of the Pertwee Manifesto:


The Pertwee Party is the only sensible party to vote for:

- we do not take ourselves too seriously;

- we do not bore you with talk about jobs, education, hospitals, banks or giving back police boxes;

- we offer trips in Bessie, a real antique lady, to the nearest mountain top for you to take the Bigger Picture;

- we do not throw mud at rivals - we simply serve glasses of finer wine, properly chilled, accompanied by proper nibbles;

- we are good at capturing ash from volcanoes and stuffing it back into the entrails of the earth;

- we have a list of very good restaurants and clothes shops for fashionistas who wish to put on Dr Who gigs for charity;

- we have giveaway sonic screwdrivers (OK they're made in Betelgeuse so they only have a few functions, like opening bank vaults);

- we have Viable Action Plans to sort out personal and nationwide messes on request (just contact my assistant, yes, the pretty blonde);

- we are the Not In Your Face party - voting for us is safe.

Vote for the Pertwee Party.

lol I think you might have won my vote

yeah thats why i voted other

Can I just mention that during the whole time we've been running the other thread, hardly anyone at all came forward to become 'The Smith Party'. As he is the current Doctor, I found it quite amazing!

Had someone come forward and run with 'The Smith Party', on a regular basis, I'd have added it to the Poll, but alas no-one did.

The Troughton Party would like to reconfirm it's support of the Absent Smith Party, but would also like to state that we most definately share the same policies on retail sales

vote smith party vote smith party vote smith party who agreas

*Gentle Bump*

Why is there no McGann party? The McGann party are the only ones who stand for traditional values and riding big motorbikes, they are the only party to be endorsed by Sheridan Smith-and above all, they are British (or they suppose they are). It is an outrage that they have been shamefully omitted from the polling cards.

Unfortunately, nobody stood up to lead the sadly absent Mcgann party. But, by voting for the Troughton party, you can rest assured that, in the future, such mistakes will not be made

Again, the same situation as the Smith party, hardly anyone came forward as 'The McGann Party'. Simples!

And before anyone moans about the lack of an Ecclestone party, the same thing applies!

Oh, yes-we McGannites have heard that before! Face it, the Troughton party will never win a majority, without PR a vote for Troughton is only going to let the Tennants in by the back door!

The Troughton Party Prides itself on its honesty. Many posters vote for tennant due to his popularity outside the world of politics, but we firmly believe that, if in power, The Tennant Party wouold send the vortex into a mixed chaos of incoherent ramblings and crashed Tardii.

Hmmm!

It has been some time since my party has joined the debate as I have been trapped in a time eddy/pyramid thingy for the last few days. Nevertheless, I have observed the various comings and goings of the election with some alarm!

We've had the nice but dim Davisons looking to split the vote.

The Harkness Party trying to get into bed with anyone who has a pulse.

And the dandy Pertwees looking to steal a vote with nothing more than a mixture of style over substance. Methinks the silver haired fox in question would be better off staying at home and giving his Aunt Sally a polish!

Hmmm!

Ladies, Gentlemen and those inbetween! There can only be one way to vote...

In the words of my election ditty...

I'm the trouble starter, punking instigator.
Hmmm!
I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated.
Hmmm!
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter!

Who's the Daddy? Vote Hartnell!!!

you have my vote, but i am sure you knew that already...

Are you tired of the bland same-old government? Of grey, dull administrations who, although they might have a "fec kless charm", simply aren't for you? then vote for Colin Baker, the brash uncompromising new force sweeping through politics!

We will take the bull by the horns with any problem our government faces and SHOUT it into submission... and if that doesn't work we'll strangle it instead!

A recap of our manifesto from the other thread:

We would now like to add some recent amendments to the above:

Mr and Mrs. Pip and Jane Baker have stepped down as our education spokespersons. We cannot disclose the reasons for this departure... not because there's anything secret about it, but because we couldn't understand what the bloody hell they were saying in their 15-page letter of resignation in which every word had at least four syllables.

So our new education spokesman is Mr Shockeye, who promises to severely cut down on the problem of overcrowding in schools. On a completely unrelated note, he also pledges to simultaneously introduce a Jamie Oliver style overhaul of the nation's school dinners, with a lovely meaty feast available for students each lunchtime! We're not quite sure how he'll manage to deal with both of these problems at the same time, but he assures us he can do it, so that's good enough for us!

Consequently Miss Melanie Bush is no longer working on a dietary regime for schools, and has instead been given a new job canvassing support for our party out on the streets... of the Outer Hebrides. And we guarantee she'll stay there until after the election's over. And, um, possibly a bit longer. Now unlike any other party, that's an election promise you can be sure we'll keep!

On the issue of crime and punishment, we will appoint a new Chief of Police in the form of Mr. Lytton, who will have entire regiments of brainwashed policemen armed with pistols to clean up our streets.

Under our government all television stations wil be taken over by the Governor of Varos, and will broadcast mindless sadism and cruelty 24/7 in which you the public get to vote on the fate of those poor unfortunates taking part. We feel this will be a huge step up in quality from the type of programmes produced by Simon Cowell. Meanwhile all radio stations will broadcast a mixture of musical genres, overseen by DJ Alexei Sayle.

*******************************************

Vote for Colin Baker, a strong, brash, confident leader you know will be prepared to leap into any problem feet first (or often fist first!) to sort it out. Colin Baker for Prime Minsiter - whether you like it, or not!


(And if you don't like it you can always vote me out again after two years...)

Thanks Muttley
