OK, so you get to make a cabinet out of regular MN posters (and you can include yourself in your post of choice of course).
My cabinet for starters:
Policywonk for Chancellor
Riven as Minister for Health
Julienoshoes - Minister for Education
I'm going to grab the post of Minister for the Environment
My cabinet doesn't have a Prime Minister - and all decisions are going to be made by consensus

Anyone else?

I'd like to be Minister of State for Science and Innovation - not because I'd be any good at it but it sounds more interesting than any other post and I could wear a long white coat and protective goggles.

There was another thread like this and I was (self) appointed Minister without Portfolio. I am not prepared to give this post up but do promise to stay out of the way, to never vote on England only matters, (or any others) and only come to Westminster once a year to collect my salary and Expenses. Thank You.

I call American Ambassador, just like I did on the other thread, and repeat my platform of talking to Hershey's about the vomitty taste of their chocolate and also getting my fellow countrywomen to stop giving their LO's surnames for firstnames.

Actually if we are getting a mumsnet cabinet I think we should do away with the boring old traditional posts.
We need a Minister for Style
A Department of Sarcasm and rebuke
and someone to whom we can turn when their is a national crisis and will go...
