I've deleted: "(given the time of its making and the policies seen in action, Conservative is a safe assumption)"
Many of the policies rule out the Conservative Party, as do some key elements of the party structure. I'd say the safest bet was the Liberals, but part of the point is that it's unspecified. -- Gregg 13:32, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] New PM in Doctor Who?
In Doctor Who episode World War Three...
...we're told that Harriet Jones MP is going to be the next Prime Minister and lead Britain into a Golden Age. However, we don't actually see it happen. Should she be on the list or not? Also another character is "acting PM" for most of the story, and I'm not sure if that counts either.

- I'd say both of those count. If List of fictional U.S. Presidents can include someone who was only president in a dream sequence, then I'm sure acting and named future PMs can go here. Kinitawowi 22:29, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Format
Wouldn't it be better if the article was separated into different sections, books, comics, films, etc? JW 15:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] First Among Equals
Simon Kerslake was not Prime Minister in First Among Equals by Jeffrey Archer. The whole plot revolves around which of four men - Kerslake, Raymond Gould, Charles Sinclair and Andrew Fraser would make it to Number 10. Kerslake and Gould eventually become leaders of their respective parties and fight an inconclusive election, giving the balance of power to the third party, led by Fraser. In the last sentence of the book, we learn that the newly-crowned King Charles III has summoned Kerslake to the Palace "in order to hear in person why I have chosen Mr Raymond Gould to be my first Prime Minister."—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Plinford (talk • contribs).
- The UK and US editions of the book had different conclusions. Fluffy the Cotton Fish 00:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Harriet Jones
Would it be unfair to assume that Harriet Jones is a Labour MP. It's unspecified, but Doctor Who (other than the aliens, obviously) is meant to be set in the "real world" and in 2006 that would be Labour. HornetMike 21:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
