Fantasy government: who should have a shot at running the country?

Hello all

We can't help but notice a mild exasperation with the political class in general amongst Mumsnetters - so we wondered, who would you like to see running the country? Could be a Sleb or a Civilian, a silly or serious suggestion - do tell us who'd get your vote?

Lady do you mean Susan Sto Helit? Great choice. Grin

Dawn French, Maureen Lipman & Victoria Wood; on the basis that they are already a bunch of comedians & we might as well have funny ones

Judge Judy for PM. I know she's not British, but I'm sure that we can get around that (in fact, I know we can - she'll be PM!)

Adrian Turner for Home Secretary because he's so utterly gorgeous that he'll bring about world peace overnight.

Me for Speaker because there is far too much nonsense in the House.
