9. Drathro
If the electorate are looking for an alternative to the slick public schoolboy debating club some feel Westminster has turned into, then why not go for a ten foot tall steel robot who avoids conversation and burns opponents to a crisp? It would certainly make Prime Minister's Question Time more interesting! Drathro's policies include converting the UK to Black Light power and shifting the population underground by 2020. This may appear an unusual aim but it's what he's used to and not many would be prepared to argue the toss over it. Being a machine means he is best placed to lead the way in technological development. He'd also take charge during overseas negotiations, possessing the ultimate poker face in that he doesn't have one. The doors at the Houses of Parliament would have to be heightened, but surely this is a small price to pay for strong leadership? Also, the costs of TV appearances are drastically reduced due to Drathro's convertor interfering with the equipment.
