| | |  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.

only 12%? I know Harry Potter would make a better or even a smarter president than what we have right now in the US. Is Tony Blair popular in the UK? Well rock on HP! | |

I hate having to vote this will be the second General election i have voted in and i hate it..
I think you shoudl get a pack when you turn 18 int he UK that tells you basicaly about the partys, what you are voting for and just general information about hoe the votes are worked out.
If Mr Weasley or Harry were up for election more people would vote | |

They were also asked what was the most important issue to them. Bullying and animal cruelty were top of the list. That's cute! At least they picked a positive person in Harry. I'm glad to see kids wanting to address bullying, I hope that we can find a better way to protect the victims. | |

Let's not get too political guys! Quote:

He's served 2 terms so yes. He fronts one of the three leading parties, Labour. Quote:

The election day is May 5th.... 05/05/05
I can't vote. 13 days too late. Turn 18 on the 18th of May. Quote:

Why, because people are too lazy to inform themselves? | |

I'm with the kids on this one...Harry Potter would make a good Minister... All Politicians suck...they're crooks anyway whatever their initial intentions, but since most of them are just bored rich power hungry individuals... *fires cannons* Aaargh And Animals are important and bullying is a serious issue...then the bullied wouldn't grow up to be scared adults seeking positions of power i.e. politicians  And they'd all have pets and we wouldn't be wasting our time making stupid wars and we might actually get around to dealing with poverty And my birthday could be an official national holiday, and we'd get candy at lunch, and no homework... | |

Bullying and harassment are a big problem here in the US too. In fact, now its against the law in vermont because of some suicide cases.
Well that post turned depressing.
