actually the whole point of this thread is to bring some light relief to this boiling cauldron we call the politics and debate board,

also I want to see if I can get everybody from the green-fingered pinkos to the facists to agree on something :cool:

I've always preferred Gordon Brown.

If I was King for a Day:

Mr Roll for PM
Jim V - Speaker of the House (to keep us all in line)
Doc Horatio - Minister for Youth and Education
Clandestine/Globe - Foreign Ministers (the U.S already tell us what to do, at least we know these guys)
Minister for Health - MoK (lets have someone who knows for a change)
Minister of Defence - BeckyBoo (she is a mum and if mum's ran the worlds armed forces, it would be a better world to live in)

any other suggestions?

LOL!

Thanks for the vote of *ahem* confidence BA, but you'd have to decide what sort of foreign policy you wanted #10 to adopt and choose between myself or Thanatos. The two of us would unlikely agree to sit in the same room together let alone share a cabinet posting.

Clandy, we the people already decide what we want, we have a parliament composing of opposing political views who spend all their time arguing and not getting anything done then handover the decision to the Americans. I'm not changing the system that radically

So who would be in charge of the Commission for Racial Equality then? :D

Two names come to mind (not). ;)

The CRE, only one person for this - Jacq the Ripper, has experience of life as an ethnic minority but is a darling of the Right, beyond criticism that one.

Relax. This thread exists to provide some much-needed comic relief. :D

You can nominate me for the St. George's Day Organising Committee if you wish. I'd make a very good job of it.

Tony Blair is a disgarce to socialism. Is Labour not meant to represent the workers of society? He just universally raises taxes and goes to war for little reason.

Aladdin I was thinking of nominating you to head the Olympic bid, as a Real Madrid fan you must have knowledge of fixing sporting results and bribing officials ;)

Mr Roll just think of all the bad political decisions you'd never get round to making :)

By the way welcome Karl Marx! on your way in, you didn't happen to notice someone called Giantno1 leaving did you? apparently he's been banned :eek: I thought you might have noticed him as you seem to arrive soon after.

Enjoy thesite

Could it be? Of course it could. Is this just a case of

And yes, as a Madrid fan I do have extensive knowledge on how to get referees and governments in friendly terms. I'm not as good as Franco though, he had a special touch on that! ;)

Although I would as happily take charge of the department dealing with Gibraltar. I'd soon 'sort things out'... :D

Me for Home Secretary :) You know, I was discussing this with a Tory-leaning friend of mine (Gordon Brown, not you ;) ) and he says that even though Brown is respected across the political spectrum he could never become PM because he's a Scotsman, and many people in England could bring themselves to elect a Scotsman to Prime Minister.

Is this true? Would people really have a problem with a Scotsman, or a Welshman being PM?

I definitely could vote from Brown, I think in inspires confidence a lot more than Blair and Presscot. I don't even think of him as a Scotsman. I'm so used to Scottish & Welsh etc that I don't usually think about it. If I suspected he was a massive Scottish patriot and anti-English then I would have a problem, but I don't think he is like that. I know he sounds English (which makes all the difference) but isn't Blair technically a Scot?

What's what I thought myself. I was surprised my friend was so convinced Brown being a Scotsman would be a problem. He hasn't got a problem with that himself, but thought others might. :confused:

There have been Welsh Prime Ministers before, i can't remember who right now though! Argh i know there is a statue of one in Cardiff city centre...

Tony Blair is Scottish, there have been no Welsh PMs to date, the last Welshman that tried was Neil Kinnock.

If Michael Howard wins the next election he will be the first Welsh PM not bad for the son of an asylum-seeker.

Im sure a welshman had something to do with setting up the NHS.....probably wasnt Prime Minister though.

lol im kicking myself for not knowing that L-G was, for what am i studying in History? The decline of the Liberal Party:rolleyes:

I always used to think that Nye Bevan had been a Prime Minister because I kept hearing about 'his' NHS, but twas Clement Atlee that appointed him as Minister for Health.

Ah , no its where you are raised that counts. He considered himself Welsh, and was a Welsh nationalist, thats good enough for me.
