Am I being unreasonable to wish to cast my vote for Larry the Cat at the next election?

He's the only option. The rest of them are idiots.

On reflection I think there might be too many compromising photos of Sweep and she would be sacked from office for such behaviour. 😝

Dunno really - She's not groping anyone's meat and two veg in the Carlton club.

And I would like to propose my glossy girls for Chancellor and Home Secretary. Need to ensure proper female representation in the cabinet.

What a gorgeous picture!

MrsCat1 · 07/07/2022 13:58

Thank you! I would also like to point out that if pest control is part of their remit they are surpassed by none. A dead body appears daily in my house, and sometimes more than one!🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

I think having an all cat parliament could be seen as species-ist

Instead each party should choose their signature animal and put forward one in each area

So conservatives could be cats, labour could be dogs (labradors specifically), greens could be geese, monster raving loony party could be monkeys, plaid could be platypuses, snp could be seals, dup could be dolphins

I could be overthinking this of course...

🤣😂🤣

Panther would like to be equalities minister, as a blind, black cat he feels he is best placed for such an improtant job.

Definitely! Love Panther! He would work well with my glossy girls methinks.

HerRoyalHappiness · 07/07/2022 14:03

He would indeed. Your glossy girls are gorgeous.

@SirSamVimesCityWatch you say 'cat focused feudal overlord system' as if that's a bad thing.

crosstalk · 07/07/2022 14:07

Possibly a badger or a cow for Defra minister? or both so they could argue about TB?

Given Larry's age, and experience of PMs, perhaps he could just join the 1922 Committee to elect a new Tory Leader, or urge Keir Starmer to call a GE.

@TiredYorkshireMam Larry's Wikipedia page is awesome.

Lajitas, Texas, held an election that included candidates Tommy Steele (incumbent human mayor), a trading-post wooden Indian, a dog named Buster, and a goat named Clay Henry. The goat won "by a landslide", and goats have been mayors ever since.[6]

I love how they double down on this one, the goat did such a good job they just kept it that way going forward.

There again compared to Boris Larry would probably do such a good job that we would always have a cat prime minister going forward

I'd hope that Larry the cat or Dhillon the dog would have an 'accident' over Mr Johnson, before Mr Johnson leaves Downing Street.

MsOllie · 07/07/2022 14:40

Ollie and Not My Cat are awaiting instructions
Ollie wants to be in charge of humans at home all day for cuddles. Not my Cat thinks he is best placed managing food issues preferably fish fingers specifically

I would definitely vote for Ollie and NMC.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 07/07/2022 14:57

I also humbly propose Basil as chief whip. Who would fail to vote the way he demanded?

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 07/07/2022 15:05

Jesus! Basil is terrifying!!

MrsCat1 · 07/07/2022 15:12

Crikey! Yes to Basil! Yes,yes!

MsOllie · 07/07/2022 15:15

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 07/07/2022 14:52

I would definitely vote for Ollie and NMC.

NMC paws would cause complete carnage. Hoards of NMCs breaking and entering everywhere with Ollie screaming not allowed Grin

ProfessorFusspot · 07/07/2022 15:45

For what it's worth, Larry has already been endorsed by Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell.

Larry's been on the case for a while.

Could my boys get on the bench?

This one has more brains than the whole of the current administration put together. I'm not even biased, my other cat is a dumb sweetheart.

I mean this one. The other one can be an ornament or something.

Phoenix would like to put herself forward. She isn't fussy what post so long as it isn't a scratching post 🙄🤔🤣
