Dr Who says Cameron is a terrifying prospect! - mirror.co.uk

Tennant begs voters to snub Cam or face miserable future

David Tennant has urged people not to vote Tory, warning that life under David Cameron would be a "terrifying prospect" for the future of Britain.

The Doctor Who star branded the Conservative leader a phoney who jumps on every bandwagon going and insists Gordon Brown is the man best placed to look after the interests of all Brits, not just a privileged few.

In an emotionally charged interview, Tennant said: "Clearly, the Labour Party is not without some issues right now and I do get frustrated.

"They need to sort some stuff out, but they're still a better bet than the Tories.

"I would rather have Gordon Brown than David Cameron. 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.

"I think David Cameron is a terrifying prospect.

I think he's a regional newsreader who will jump on whatever bandwagon flies past.

"I get quite panicked that people are buying his rhetoric, because it seems very manipulative."

Tennant, one of Britain's best-loved actors, is a long-term Labour supporter who appeared in a party political broadcast in 2005.

But while some voters are wavering, the stage and screen favourite made it clear he has never felt more strongly about backing Mr Brown in a bid to avoid a return to the dark days of Tory rule. And he urged fellow actors to vote Labour.

Vote tactically - let's get rid of the Tory-Labour-Tory-Labour stitch-up - let's try real democracy for a change!
