Polling Station confusion


Ant Wars II:
Wilson has never struck me as a very political animal, so I was quite surprised this morning when he asked me to give him a lift to the Polling Station. 
There are three problems to this:
   1) he is not registered to vote;
   2) I'm not sure anteaters can register to vote and;
   3) there are no elections in our district today. 
But I was curious to know why W wanted to vote. I asked him about it, and he told me that he wanted to cast his vote for 'that nice Mr Cameron'. 
I was deeply shocked as I'd always assumed that, in spite of his capitalist tendencies, if anything W would be a bit of a socialist. 
After some discussion it emerged that there was some confusion in his mind between James Cameron (top film maker and W's hero) and David Cameron (posh bloke who doesn't know the price of milk). 
After we'd straightened that out, he said not to bother registering him to vote.
