We want Lisa For Our Leader

As serious journalist i obviously don't indulge in the frivolous or superficial so i initially ignored the poll which was asking which cartoon character would you most like to see leading your country.
It was only when i accidentally clicked on it while looking for something else much more high brow and serious that i thought i may as well have a look at the results as i'm here and noticed that Lisa Simpson was the top choice which makes sense, of the family living in Evergreen Terrace she is the only choice, a Buddhist vegan who is concerned with green issues and has concern for her fellow man and who doesn't love them qualities?
Then it began to all get a bit silly because second was Spiderman although admittedly never having read, seen or watched anything which contained the web slinging superhero he may be suitable, i really have no idea and then jinkies, at three is Velma from Scooby Doo who if the 80's served me correctly, was the brains of the Mystery Machine outfit. I also didn't know her surname was Dinkley but then i was always too busy shouting at the TV that it was obviously going to be the janitor at the haunted fairground because it was every...single...episode.
Batman and Superman are numbers 4 and 5 and whilst Batman received the same treatment as Spiderman and had never crossed the Lucyp eyeballs, Superman has as i saw the first ever Superman film and as i recall he can turn back time by flying around the Planet really fast which could come in handy.
Charlie Brown's dog Snoopy, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, Mickey Mouse and Papa Smurf make up the rest of the top 10 but by then i had lost interest in such trivial things and moved onto much more important and significant things although how Woody from Toy Story didn't make the top 10 made the whole thing farcical. He is obviously the best choice for a leader!

Peppa Pig and Dangermouse off the top of my head otherwise it is mostly Kids TV channels territory, we seem to do more of the the stop motion thing like Postman Pat, Paddington and Wallace and Gromit.
