GRANTED a poll to see which pop star Brits would most like to see running the country when they wake up today was bound to be fraught with ridiculous ideas.

Tempting as it is to suggest one of my musical heroes given the lack of choice at the polls yesterday, there isn’t a pop star on earth I think could make a good job of being Prime Minister.

I know MySpace were only having a bit of fun when they commissioned this poll, but the results are anything but amusing.

Top of the list is none other than Dappy from N-Dubz. This is the beany hat wearing rapper who has previous convictions for assault and was once hauled off an aircraft by armed officers for threatening passengers.

The band were dropped from the Government’s anti bullying campaign after Dappy took down the number of a critical listener to the Chris Moyles’ Show and harassed her.

He was photographed taking the illegal drug Mephedrone, fired pellets at fans and has been involved in too many fights to mention.

Hardly the character I’d most like to see making decisions on crime, education, welfare or the economy.

Oh but he does have a bizarre habit of crashing model planes his biography tells me and he’s also obsessed with hats, tattoos and Iggle Piggle from In the Night Garden.

The mind boggles.

Thankfully the users of MySpace aren’t the only ones who get a vote or we would be looking at Dappy’s eclectic cabinet of Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Morrissey, Paul McCartney, Dizzee Rascal, Damon Albarn, Noel Gallagher, Lily Allen and Chris Martin.

Well, I suppose no-one could accuse politics of being boring…
