It's General Election week here in the UK, and the country is poised to usher in a Prime Minister from the rogues gallery of faces on offer. Some of the party leaders wouldn't look out of place menacing the nation in the world's longest-running sci-fi programme, so what better time to take a break from the political jousting and speculate over which characters from the Whoniverse are best-equipped to lead Britain instead?

He battled the Slitheen and the Master (pictured above) within its walls, bantered with Winston Churchill during World War II and beyond, and of course saw his friend Harriet Jones valiantly run the country before being exterminated by Daleks.
