Ken Barlow's not a Tory - he used to be quite a firebrand leftie in his younger days.

As for the Doctor... depends on which Doctor (and what era of time). I could see Pat Troughton's Doctor being quite enthusiastic about the 60s Wilson government, what with the general social liberalism and the White Heat of Technology and giving MBEs to the Beatles and so on. Pertwee's Doctor is definitely a One Nation Tory, but him I *could* see voting Green actually, in that sort of right-wing aristocratic-environmentalist way (think the Goldsmith family and those sort of people). Hartnell's Doctor is a Liberal of the old school. Tom Baker's Doctor is clearly an anarchist, and probably spoiled his ballot or voted for a joke candidate like the Monster Raving Loonies. Davison's agonised for a long time but saw voting as a civic duty, and ended up voting SDP. Colin's Doctor was definitely a Liberal/Lib Dem - I bet if he had a blog it'd be very like Jonathan Calder's, but angrier. Sylvester's Doctor would have been a tactical anti-Tory voter. The McGann Doctor would vote seventeen different ways in different continuities, before getting amnesia and forgetting who he'd voten for. And all the Welsh Series Doctors are New Labour.
