OK, so you get to make a cabinet out of regular MN posters (and you can include yourself in your post of choice of course).
My cabinet for starters:
Policywonk for Chancellor
Riven as Minister for Health
Julienoshoes - Minister for Education
I'm going to grab the post of Minister for the Environment
My cabinet doesn't have a Prime Minister - and all decisions are going to be made by consensus

Anyone else?

fruitshootsandheaves · 03/05/2010 21:03

I'd like to be Minister of State for Science and Innovation - not because I'd be any good at it but it sounds more interesting than any other post and I could wear a long white coat and protective goggles.

MrJustAbout · 03/05/2010 21:17

Riven as Minister for Health - I thought nappies fell under Personal Social Services?

Nemofish · 03/05/2010 21:23

There was another thread like this and I was (self) appointed Minister without Portfolio. I am not prepared to give this post up but do promise to stay out of the way, to never vote on England only matters, (or any others) and only come to Westminster once a year to collect my salary and Expenses. Thank You.

CheerfulYank · 04/05/2010 01:46

I call American Ambassador, just like I did on the other thread, and repeat my platform of talking to Hershey's about the vomitty taste of their chocolate and also getting my fellow countrywomen to stop giving their LO's surnames for firstnames.

HairExtensions · 04/05/2010 01:56

Littlefish for education.

Nemofish · 04/05/2010 12:29

FrannyandZooey for Environment Minister!

CheerfulYank · 04/05/2010 16:01

I vote NathanBarley for Minister of Popularity.

pagwatch · 04/05/2010 16:19

Actually if we are getting a mumsnet cabinet I think we should do away with the boring old traditional posts.
We need a Minister for Style
A Department of Sarcasm and rebuke
and someone to whom we can turn when their is a national crisis and will go...

CheerfulYank · 04/05/2010 16:36

In that case I declare myself First Lady of Libations...drinks all round!

Hullygully · 04/05/2010 16:37

I would like to volunteer of the Department for Non Sequiturs

Hullygully · 04/05/2010 16:38

of the Department?

We will obviously need a Ministry of Grammatical Rectitude and Rescue.

Takver · 04/05/2010 17:00

Helped by the Permanent Secretary for Pedantry, perhaps?
