Hello everyone.
Welcome to the People's Republic of Mumsnet. The republic is currently without a government, so we'll need to start getting organised.

I invite you to put yourself forward for any given position, taking care to elaborate on why you consider yourself suitable for the role.

I've currently appointed myself as Republic Designer, a temporary role that expires as soon as a President is elected.

Positions we will need to fill:
President
Vice President
Minister of Culture
Minister of External Affairs
Minister of Women
Minister of Snacks

Feel free to make your case for a role, propose new roles, and explore what other things we may need to put in place to become a well respected republic with international clout.

I think you are being incredibly discriminatory for not having a Minister of Men seeing as they are the minority here! Wink

DH always calls me minister for home affairs. I would like to be minister for wine affairs though!

Any need for an 'all-purpose battle axe' at all?

But yeah, I'd be happy to be the Minister for External Affairs.

I could be Minister for Culture as I have made my own yoghurt in the past.

Ladies, Gentlemen, distinguished guests,
I would formally like to introduce myself to you as your new Minister of MIL navigation I have one therefore I am qualified.

I'd like to be Head of the Department for Whimsy and Caprice please (as Toby is advised to refer to on the West Wing)

I think it sounds rather lovely in an enigmatic, floaty, beguiling sort of way.

@InToMyHeart
What an excellent point. Scrap the Minister for Women, we need a Minister for Men and any poster who would like to identify as a man.

@TheMendedDrum
You've used three adjectives when one would suffice. This strikes me as whimsical enough for you to merit the role.

May I be Minister of Ag & Fish (we have an allotment and a pond)?

If QueenoftheSilverDollar12 can remember her experience than she's not worthy of the post.
