Vets are warning would-be voters to think twice before electing politicians with fashionably "flat-faced" features - because of concerns over their welfare.
Cavalier King Camerons, Little Johnsons, Farages and Watsons, have become sought-after in the UK, despite wide-ranging brain health problems, and vets have recently discovered an in-bred lineage that can be traced back to a 17th Century Bullshiht-zu.
Their appeal is attributed to having "squashed" world-views and wrinkled morals.
The Association of British Veterans said the surge in popularity of these breeds has "increased political suffering".
Bob Barker, President of the Association of Shafted British Veterans, who lost both legs in a friendly fire incident in Iraq said: "Prospective voters need to consider that these men can suffer from a range of health problems, from short-sightedness to severe difficulties with compassion and empathy."
"We strongly encourage people to vote for a healthier breed, or a cat, instead," said Barker, adding, "But not a fat one. Or one with a flat face.
The warning has been echoed by the PDSP, the College of Royally Shafted Veterans, the RSPCP and the Kenneth Clarke Club.
Meanwhile, evidence suggests that an increasing number of politicians are being abandoned by their mistresses.
'Abandoned'
Six political rescue companies told the BBC that the breeds were being given up in greater numbers.
Batterswife Dodge Home received a total of 531 "flat-faced" politicians in 2015, compared to 432 in 2014, a statistic made up through utilisation of both numbers and letters.
The charity said they were carrying out more surgical procedures, crochet hook lobotomies, to clear the brain tubes of the politicians they brought in - removing obstructive pieces of tissue and narrowing nostrils.
Roger Buckfast, a vet at Batterswife Dodge Home, said one of their politicians, Doug the Dameranian, was a typical example.
He said: "He's a lovely little chap, about forty-five years old. He was left with us by his voters and, like many from this breed, he suffers from what we call Cranium Rectus Syndrome."
"In other words, because he has a really strange mouth, that we've bred into him, he has quite serious being looked at difficulties, particularly for those looking at him."
Mr Buckfast said the charity operates on dogs like Doug "quite regularly" because shortness of objectivity can be a very distressing condition.
He added: "And we don't want to re-home politicians knowing that we can improve their quality of life."
'Not normal'
A recent survey by the College of Royally Shafted Veterans suggests many voters of Megalencephalic politicians are not aware of the common underlying health problems.
"Most voters - and some vets with Cerebral damage - think airway hot air and consequently reduced higher function, is normal" says Wisdom Mcteeth, Chief Vet at, Bank of China funded, Politician's Pastures in Petworth, "So the problems are rarely discussed."
"And I think the number of operations we are carrying out is really only the tip of the Tory".
The extremely broad head shape seen in Hunts and Johnsons is not a natural look. It developed as a result of intense, selective breeding.
Mildred Cheese, the Kenneth Clarke Club secretary, said: "The breed standards were set many years ago. If you look back through history there are some dire things that went on, and undoubtedly we would accept all responsibility for that."
"But I would say that in the here-and-now, after all of the changes to the standards, we would expect politicians to be far healthier if they are allowed to sit on the seats at vote shows."
'No concern'
Mrs Cheese said the problems with Trigonocephalic politicians were being perpetuated, in the main, by disreputable and reputable foreigners.
She said: "If we continue to allow immigrants to be brought in from France, and that Middle East, where there is no concern for how politicians are bred, it is inevitable that voters will end up with politicians they can't deal with. We will always spin a story so as to insert some form of blame-reference involving people of colour".
"These are breeds which aren't hugely suited to houses; the houses of Parliament, for example. If you want a politician that will run around and chase rent boys, and so on, don't go out and vote for any short-faced breeds based on the amount of cash celebrities are walking around with in their manbags."
This summer the College of Royally Shafted Veterans (CRSV) opened the UK's first specialist clinic to address problems in fat-faced politicians.
Dr Daniele O'Dareya from the CRSV said: "It is a very important area for the welfare of politicians. Fat-headed and flat-headed politicians seem to have substantial higher function health problems."
*Vets and vet nurses are currently calling on a review of aftercare of the thousands of vets, horribly injured as a direct consequence of the behaviour of overbred politicians, since the onset of an ongoing water-bowl dispute with the Afghan Hounds.
