Andrew Lloyd Webber

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)

"Made a Tory peer in 1997, he was ridiculed for 'doing a Phil Collins' by threatening to leave the country if Labour got in - he tells me he never said any such thing" - http://arts.guardian.co.uk/theatre/drama/story/0,,2082009,00.html - so he denies it? - tell you what, Andy, you retire and withdraw everything you ever wrote or produced from the public arena, and give 90% of your life earnings towards sustainable development projects in Africa, and I'll start to believe you

And I'll try to forget about the more damning aspects of this - "He wrote a piece to order for a Tory party political broadcast and was at Margaret Thatcher's 80th birthday, but has distanced himself from the party in recent years" ( http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,,1795942,00.html )
