[Politics] The election race hots up.

[davywavy]

After people pointed out that David Cameron looked remarkably like Data out of Star Trek: TNG on his latest election poster:



It appears that Brent Spiner, who played Data, has heard about his and issued a statement on Twitter that he would be happy to lead the people of England (plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland when he was reminded they're a part of the Union too), and that we'd better not call him anything but Brent.

Alternatively, he suggests that if anything were to happen to David Cameron, he could just take over, like in The Prisoner of Zenda.

I'm not making this up - it's right here.

And people say that politics is boring. So: Data for PM?
