I'm curious to hear from both sides, who people think is going to be able to lead the UK through Brexit now. I really don't know personally.
Are all leave voters backing Boris? Would you like Farage to be involved somehow?
How about if you voted to remain? Is there anyone you trust to take the reigns at this stage?

Wouldn't trust any of them at the moment. They have well and truly fucked up.

AllegraWho · 28/06/2016 21:01

The Doctor
Ned Stark
John Smith from Dead Zone (to take care of Farage)
The Hulk
Agent Gibbs (just because)

we need people who understand negotiation and who can play hard ball too. The eu is going to play it, but they need our buyers.

merkel is massively un popular in Germany right now, and now she is playing hard ball for the sake of the eu, yet another politician who forgets who bloody well put her where she is!

their loyalty lies with the eu and junker and not to their own people. If I was German I would be mightily pissed off they never gave UK more concessions to keep up in, I would be mightily upset if they then stopped us buying too.

I think Nicola Sturgeon is going to come out of this mess as a very powerful woman...

nooddsocksforme · 28/06/2016 21:10

Farage apart from being a thoroughly loathsome human being has not been elected to parliament and as far as I am concerned has absolutely no place within any formal negotiations. Previously had a grudging admiration for Boris but no more - he has put his own ego before the needs of this country and both of them have lied through their teeth

I like the idea of a national coalition government. The campaigns were cross-party so it sounds like a sensible way of dealing things. Even though Dave messed up.

CarpetBagger · 28/06/2016 21:18

wow I agree.

ocelot41 · 28/06/2016 21:18

Return of David Miliband?

Numberoneisgone · 28/06/2016 21:20

I think if it was a dream team I would bring Margaret Thatcher back from the dead. Say what you like about her, and believe me I have a lot of sustain for her, but she would not give an utter shit what they thought in Europe. Mind you I don't think she would have backed down to the Euro skeptics so it would be a dream scenario.

CarpetBagger · 28/06/2016 21:20

no I think Milibands are way off the mark - didnt another labour MP say he wanted to actually punch Ed Milliband....

they are brain washed zombies trying to please dad. I think its best all round if they gracefully bow out.

Numberoneisgone · 28/06/2016 21:20

Sustain= distain

annandale · 28/06/2016 21:30

Ruth Davidson and Philip Green. He could do it as community service.

Apart from the teensy problem of him not having been elected to anything.

Nicola Sturgeon is the only credible leader in the UK at the moment, the only one with any clear vision or plan at all.

Sadly, I am in England, and we have no-one at all of her ilk down here.

No dream team here. Just a bloody nightmare that shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

PeaceOfWildThings · 28/06/2016 21:35

This is going to affect all of the UK, and all of Europe. We need sensible, peaceable, hard working folk from all parties, all European countries even, to get involved and help is get out of these shark infested waters. People like Farage have a use too, I guess. (Swimmers)

That is as lighthearted as I get. Relatives being told they're 'fucking half-bred skum', and everything else that's going on, lighthearted seems inappropriate on this right now. The fears that BJ and NF will try to carry on ripping the UK to shreds and shout everyone else down (in the name of representing a racist electorate) is monstrous.

Absy · 28/06/2016 21:38

Oh yes, Mark Carney can negotiate for us through his drive-through take away hatch. It cracks me up every time I see it.
Not Boris. Imagine BoJo vs Merkel?! We'd be so screwed. He cycled past me a couple of years ago. If I'd known that he'd do this I would have kicked him off his bike

puffylovett · 28/06/2016 21:41

I'd like Ruth Davison involved somehow. She's the bomb (sat watching Scottish Parliament debate at the mo)

MillicentMargaretAmanda · 28/06/2016 21:41

Jed Bartlett, CJ Cregg, Leo McGarry, Sam Seaborn.

Backingvocals · 28/06/2016 21:42

I'm praying for Theresa May in a room with Angela Merkel and the grown up women sort it out...

If we had an emergency govt, genuinely fantasy portfolio, I'd love to get Vince Cable back advising the front line team. How reassuring some experience and thoughtfulness would be right now.

MyLifeisaboxofwormgears · 28/06/2016 21:45

I'd go for:
My cat, my mad auntie who sings at bus stops to promote more small talk between strangers, my cleaner who'd keep the carpets nice and clean and one of those cute kittens on a youtube video.
They could write down random things then pull one out of the hat each week and talk about it. I bet they would get about the same result as any current politicians, non of whom seem fit to run a whelk stall.

glassgarden · 28/06/2016 21:49

I want Rick and Michonne from TWD :o

TheRollingCrone · 28/06/2016 22:02

Obama so much charm
Queenie to add gravitas and occasion
Nicola Sturgeon always sounds co-herent
Simon Sebag--Montifiore just to remind us all its probably just a little bit of history repeating itself
Boris&Gove just so everyones got someone to say You cunt when it all gets a bit heated
Ken Clarke so the smokers get to nip out
Angela Merkel ( I know, I know she's on the other side) but she is so measured

puffylovett · 28/06/2016 22:05

I reckon the Queen would pour everyone a cup of tea and then threaten them with the Tower if they don't sort it out tout suite, I bet she's nails in real life.

crossroads3 · 28/06/2016 22:17

No one.
I hope it doesn't happen Sad.
