The Bring-Back-Doctor-Who Party

Filed under: Doctor Who, Politics — Will @ 2:22 pm

Sheffield MP Meg Munn suggests a new political party that is now, happily, redundant.

In all elections in the United Kingdom, the names of candidates are currently listed on the ballot paper in alphabetical order using the surname. When the election concerns parties, such as in the European elections, they are also listed alphabetically. Consequently, someone with the surname “Blair” would find themselves listed above someone with the surname “Howard”, or, indeed, Kennedy. The Ant Liberation party, should such a party exist, would appear above the Bring-Back-Doctor-Who party or the Flat Earth party.
