If you had to - who would you throw off the lifeboat first?

Don't you just love teachers (bless) with their philosopher manqué  (would be) exercises they set to test the moral compass of our children.

But let us indulge ourselves in one of their perennial exercises: 

Your ship has sunk and you are in the lifeboat, 
Lifeboat being launched from Titanic
 with a Priest, a Teacher,
a Politician, a Policeman and a Doctor, and an Orangutan.

All the humans are on their cell phones. On of your pet hates is cell phones, "...stop jabbering on that fucking phone, you self important git", you have often wanted to scream.

The Orangutan is the only occupant of the lifeboat not on his cell phone. However, he chatters away to you. As far as you can tell (you have studied Orangutan communication) he is complaining bitterly about his in laws back in Borneo.  

Question: There is only so much room on the lifeboat and one has to go.
Who would you throw off first?
