| | |  Harry Potter for Prime Minister!
With the general election looming, something like this was bound to crop up sooner or later.
12% of children questioned for a poll sponsored by Cartoon Network, wanted Harry Potter to be the next Prime Minister.
Tony Blair, the current Prime Minister, came third.
Football star, Wayne Rooney won the poll which involved kids between the ages of 9 and 13.
They were also asked what was the most important issue to them. Bullying and animal cruelty were top of the list.

Aww, they're going to become little animal rights activists.

I don't know much about Tony Blair, me being from the US, but he seems like a good leader!

Harry as Prime Minister?! What a horrible thought! Voldemort could spy through him on official UK business, and Harry would never be around in June because he'd be off trying to get himself killed.
No, no, you've got it all wrong. Snape, however, would be a most excellent prime minister.

Hey! I turn 18 the day after you! May 19th  .
They're concerned about animal cruelty? That's good. I hate it when animals are abused.

What is with the June talk? LOL It's getting me half-excited lol The election is may 5th, hence I can't vote. If it was June, I'd be ecstatic, but it's not. Quote:

LOL At least you plead ignorance! Although the term 'election' should've given it away, in the article! The Prime Minister is voted for, just like you guys voted for the President last November.

Harry has experience about being in tabloids, so I guess he could manage too ... Maybe even better than Snape, I have to admit, because Severus isnīt that used to publicity. It might get into his head, or how do you say it, so Snape might be quite unbearable, at least at first. And, before you slaughter me: I love Snape! Absolutely. But my love is not blind, I can see his weaknesses.
I somehow think that almost any Potter character (excluding the Dursleys, lol!) would make better leaders that the professional politicians. But I still think itīs important to vote. People say they donīt care about the politics, they donīt vote, and yet they complain ... My advice would be: vote wisely, and not against yourself! Read news, find out. If you make a mistake: donīt vote that person again! Simple as that.
