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.

And I forgot to mention, if you dare to speak against Neganism, you will be castigated from all civilised society.

All hail our Lord Negan for he is just and righteous and good!

Scotland? We've got more important shit to deal with than regional gossip.

@raffle I make Hilary put thrown together and disorganized. My great-great-grandmother invented the trouser suit and I myself was personally responsible for launching women wearing ties in the 90s.

Thanks for the tea Rufus.
I’m enjoying the reading material, looks very simple at present. No income whatsoever, loads of requests for cash or other valuable goods...including puppies and kittens. Santa Clause could attend our first board meeting.

I'll be internal audit.

I'll check the chicken is used multiple times, prevent against Mexican House Theives and ensure all Centre Parcs visits are resolutely anal.

TheVermiciousKnid · 09/02/2018 21:07

Pssst, blueskyinmarch, do you want to join the revolution? Happy to make it a Scottish one.

blueskyinmarch · 09/02/2018 21:09

You underestimate the Scots. It's all happening here make me minister for
Scotland. You won't regret it. I swear.

AlpacaLypse · 09/02/2018 21:11

Up yours Nicola Catfish this

NeganLovesLucille · 09/02/2018 21:17

Glitter

Did you just assume my gender by referring to me as 'he'? I am a genderless deity.

(IRL an overweight, middle aged, female primary school teacher) but I self-identify as a genderless deity, so that is how you must all address me.

Doctordonowt · 09/02/2018 21:19

i would like to be the Pointless Minister without Portfolio I do nothing, I know nothing, but I post about everything

Andrewofgg · 09/02/2018 21:20

Glitter My son is grown up and is going to be my Deputy with special responsibility for covering up my indiscretions. And yours.

You may pinch my posterior at your pleasure.

Gilead · 09/02/2018 21:26

I'm organising a raffle to raffle Raffle.

DamsonGin · 09/02/2018 21:45

We'll need a motto for the coinage, how about 'Gin For Every Desk Drawer', in Latin if we're to be sophisticated.

hushnowthanks · 09/02/2018 21:49

@mercedes519 I called Minister for MIL on page 1.

I’m going to embark on a radical programme of refom which allows greater autonomy for dils

NeganLovesLucille · 09/02/2018 21:50

Damson I think that you meant to spell it 'draw' Grin as we all know that is the correct spelling. It could even be' Gin for every chester draws'.

DioneTheDiabolist · 09/02/2018 21:54

As Culture Minister I shall make the BBC show Doctors on Prime time and shove Eastenders into the arse end of the schedule.

ForalltheSaints · 09/02/2018 21:55

I nominate myself for a junior ministerial post within the Ministry of Culture and look forward to working with the Secretary of State.

Minister for Mornington Crescent- as the game of games should be recognised.

blueskyinmarch · 09/02/2018 21:57

'Gin for all' needs to be the motto.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 09/02/2018 22:11

well citizens. I have finally freed myself from more tedious tasks to declare my intentions. I am declaring myself Supreme Envoy to the United States, unless of course you wish to elect me as President. I am currently serving under his Trumpness''s regime, hence entirely experienced in cross border wall relations building, trampling on other nation's rights and sneering and ridiculing engaging in multi nation negotiations. I also have rather unruly large but all my own hair that is orange. Sadly, my face is not. Pink. Rather bright pink. Regardless, I am now waffling in a presidential manner so back to the point. You clearly need me. I shall deign to serve you lesser minions.

friendlycat · 09/02/2018 22:11

I second GIN FOR ALL NEEDS as the motto. Shall I get an engraving done for outside of the HQ? What is the budget allocation? Gosh this is exciting.

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 09/02/2018 22:32

I would like to be Minister for Not Letting Any Old Hairy Arsed Bloke Who Fancies Being Called Sharon That Day Go Into Women's Changing Rooms.

I will also, if you wish, take on the portfolio of Not Letting Any Old Hairy Arsed Bloke Who Fancies Being Called Sharon That Day Enter Women Only Sporting Competitions.

Although it might make the business card tricky.

TheNoseyProject · 09/02/2018 22:40

@TheDevilMadeMeDoIt May I take the liberty of ordering you and extra long briefcase for your business cards? It’ll also intimidate said ‘hairy arsed...’ with its large, phallic nature.
