Which fictional leader would you want to be in charge right now?

[SirSamuelVimes]

Inspired by the "which prime minister" thread.

Which fictional leader (prime minister, president, empress... Whatever!) would you like to be in control of the current situation?

I'm going for Lord Vetinari, from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Clever, ruthless, efficient, knows the value of human life (to the penny, having trained as an Assassin) but not sentimental (again, Assassin). Doesn't have to worry about public opinion as there's only one vote for leader in Ankh Morpork, and it's his.

Plus he's got Leonardo da Vinci (ok, Leonard of Quirm) locked in a room and a whole university of wizards to call on. I reckon he'd do a pretty good job.

Who's the fictional leader of men & women you'd like to be currently living under?

Bartlet. Or Morgan Freeman - he has gravitas

Mr Darcy (the Colin Fifth version) anyone who looks that good in a wet shirt is worthy of respect!

Madame Secretary Elizabeth McCord

(But if she’s not available, I’ll also vote for Jed)

And I want Sam Vimes instead of Dominic Cummings!!!!

Bartlet. Or Morgan Freeman - he has gravitas

Pretty sure Morgan Freeman is real, not fictional

Lord Summerisle

Papa Smurf.
Best all rounder, covid/brexit/climate change all covered.

Sarah Connor from Terminator 2

We definitely need Madam Pomfrey as Chief Medical Officer.

Considered Wombles but ruled out because of Brexit. We would end up importing the EU recycling.

Admiral Holdo from The Last Jedi (but without that annoying little twerp Poe Dameron sabotaging her strategy for her).

Nanny mcphee

And I want Sam Vimes instead of Dominic Cummings!!!!

Agree with you 100% there.

Dr Bravestone from Jumanji. grin

I suspect that your choice may be motivated by reasons other than his ability to handle a crisis!

How very dare you

Thought of another one - Lyanna Mormont from Game of Thrones.

Boris Johnson

Oh wait, it's real

Aragorn definitely.

Lyanna Mormont would just need to scowl at Covid and it would fuck off!

Second Lyanna Mormont.

Dumbledore

The Equaliser.

DH says Holly from Red Dwarf. I'm thinking Nessa from Gavin and Stacey.

Leslie Knope

Has to be Bartlett.

Twilight Sparkle. Or if it has to be a human leader, Jed Bartlett.

Dr Who, don't mind which one!

Davis would sort it all out too.

Actually, scratch that, Ellen Ripley!

Davis? Nope, that should be Davros!

Hawkeye Pearce from MASH.
