Star Wars characters’ voting intention thread
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Solid Labour. Been with the party since the Foot years, supporting every leader along the way. Briefly left the party over Iraq but rejoined in 2005 to campaign in the election. Still goes to every CLP meeting but despairs at the internal disunity

Anakin Skywalker
SDP. Thinks Labour are too soft on crime and immigration but doesn’t support Tory economics. Thinks government needs to be more authoritarian. Hard Brexiter who said “surrender act” a lot back in 2019 and “lent his vote” to the Tories

Padmé Amidala
Labour. Rich socialist who joined the party because of Corbyn and now joins in Twitter storms about Keir Starmer. Swears down she won’t vote Labour in 2024 but she definitely will. Talks a big game about diplomacy and unity, mostly without basis

Leia Organa
Liberal Democrat. Considers herself above the petty squabbling of Labour and the Tories. Refers to the Coalition years as “acting in the national interest” but secretly burns with shame every time she thinks of austerity. Very much FBPE

Luke Skywalker
Greens. Knows they don’t have a hope in hell of winning but doesn’t much care. Says he’s “registering his dissatisfaction with the system”. FBPE but tries to be friendly towards Brexiters. Comes off as condescending and annoys everyone immensely

Palpatine
Far-right Tory entryist. Has very little in common with the mainstream Conservative Party but sees them as the route to making his views influential. Used to be a skinhead supporting the NF back in the 70s, thinks Priti Patel is a traitorous “foreigner-lover”

Darth Vader
Calls himself an “old-fashioned, no-nonsense Tory”. Everyone else calls him a bigoted fossil. Decries “woke culture” and thinks statues are just tops. Has a home shrine to Margaret Thatcher. Thinks COVID is a hoax and the NHS is wasteful and needs to be privatised

Mace Windu
Liked New Labour but supported the Tories since Cameron took over. Thinks he’s the embodiment of “the sensible centre ground” but has actually drifted to the moderate right since 2005. Secretly thinks Johnson is a moron, and Starmer might actually have some good ideas
