Let's form a government

[Buenchico]

Since our politicians can’t sort out a government, I think that it’s time for us to take command. Here are my suggestions:
Prime Minister: Andy-Hughes (voice of experience)
Chancellor: Buenchico (‘cos I’ve nearly worked out what all of the keys on my calculator actually do!)
Home Secretary: Craft1948 (calm & dignified)
Attorney General: Barmaid (self-explanatory!)
Foreign Secretary: Netibiza (‘cos she can see the UK from a foreign perspective)
Science & Industry: Chuckfickens (technical whizzkid) with Clanad appointed as his special advisor.
Agriculture & Fisheries: Shaneystar2 (‘cos they know about such things in Great Yarmouth)
Defence: Bobjugs12 (personal experience)
Scottish Office: Poodicat (obviously!)
Education: Mollykins (plenty of views about how schools should be run!)

Additions or amendments are, of course, most welcome.

I don't want defence. Give it to albags

I'll take control of a special dept devoted to the capture and termination of politicians, chavs, sunday drivers, Southampton supporters and anyone else who gets on my nerves. We will have Crown Immunity, and my agents are above the law!

Can I have Sport ?

=0)

[Buenchico]

I think that there's already a job rather like that one, Bob. It's called 'Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police" ;-)

[mollykins]

how did i know i'd be education. But i'm good at maths and science aswell. What about a welsh and irish office people?

[Buenchico]

Hi Jayne.

We are, of course, free to organise existing Government departments but, as things stand, 'sport' is tied in with 'culture'. Do you want that bit as well, or does the thought of a night at the opera make you feel ill?

[mollykins]

Can we make speaches and outline our plans for our positions?

[mollykins]

are there any welsh and irish abers? i'm a bit irish.

[Garmard]

What can i do, be minister of all things nice or minister of hug a hoodie etc.

[stonekicker]

btw bobjugs - i may have said the other day i come from soton, but i an NOT a supporter (they ae crap) and i hail from the cotswolds. please don't hold that comment against me! x

[Buenchico]

Hi Molly.

I've been trying to remember, without success, which CBers live in N Ireland or Wales. Hence my omission there.

I'm pleased to hear you're good at maths and science, since I used to teach those subjects! (Science to GCSE, Maths to A-level)

[bobjugs12]

No the Met can only slot Brazilian Electricians, I want free range on electricians from all nations

im welsh mollykins

[sara3]

can I be the Minister of Gagging Orders?

[AlBags]

Molly .. you had better be Minister for Diplomatic Relations and Helicopter Fleet Management (as most of them patrol your area already)

[wolf63]

I don't usually venture into CB but I was intrigued.

Can I be in charge of space exploration? I have watched all the episodes of Star Trek (in all its forms), Blakes 7, the original Dr Who and Stargate SGI, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

My cats Frankie and Princess Merlin want jobs too - just to keep them out of trouble.

All three of us as Scottish so we want nothing to do with the World Cup but we might be able to console the English after England's annihilation in the very first stage.

[Buenchico]

I wonder why it is, Molly, that I think a speech from you might be rather lengthy? ;-)

Garmard: The problem with being a minister of all things nice is that, if politicians get involved with all of those nice things, they'll probably end up being heavily taxed!

[stonekicker]

could i do health, chris? i'm a nutty nurse and i think my experiences would hold me in good stead to take charge of our decrepit nhs. there's honestly not much i haven't seen or heard and am always open to new experiences...x

[Buenchico]

JB has just got Welsh Affairs.

[NoMercy]

Would I be able to undertake an ambassadorial role... possibly Ambassador to the Bahamas? I would be delighted to catch the next plane out there, and stay there for as long as it takes to establish a "special relationship" between the Britons and the Bahamians. Naturally, I would immerse myself in the local culture... Afternoon tea out, rum punch and conch chowder in.

woohoo!!!
