Former* Doctor Who star David Tennant on why he is voting Labour:

"I would rather have a prime minister who is the cleverest person in the room, than a prime minister who looks good in a suit."

Which seems like logical reasoning to me. Albeit reasoning that has little to do with the reality of British politics. See, Gordon Brown isn't the cleverest person in the room. Sure, he has advanced academic qualifications, but anyone who has ever been to a university knows that having such qualifications doesn't automatically make anyone "clever" in any practical way. In fact, Gordon Brown comes across as anything other than intelligent. Stupid and obtuse would be a better description. The only reason why anyone says Gordon Brown is the cleverest person in the room is because Brown himself has shamelessly propagated that myth for ages.

And what is this nonsense about Cameron looking good in a suit? Anyone with vision should be able to see that Cameron doesn't look good in a suit, he simply wears one better than Gordon Brown. This nonsense about Cameron being good-looking has to stop. He is just good-looking for a Tory - which, given that party includes the likes of Ken Clarke, Malcolm Rifkind and William Hague - is nothing to boast about. In fact, Cameron looks faintly ridiculous. His pudgy face looks like it has been carelessly crafted by a child using silly putty. Like Blair before him, Cameron is only good looking because those around him have been heavily beaten by the biggest branch of the ugly tree.

Of course, Tennant is entitled to whatever political views he wishes to hold, and, as he is a long-time Labour supporter, I can't see him voting for anyone else other than el-Gordo. But it seems ironic that he worries about people buying Cameron's rhetoric when he has swallowed the Labour cliches about Brown and Cameron hook, line and sinker.

*Note to the BBC - you really want to be pushing Matt Smith as the star of Doctor Who now, rather than Tennant.
