Gransnet is right wing?

Health and or social security for me. Who for education foreign affairs etc (or are we going to be 'splendid isolationists" in which case no need for foreign affairs)
Do we have ministry of peace instead of so called defence?

jendurham Minister for Health?

Sorry jeni posts crossed. Will you accept Social Services?
Any takers for Minister of Peace? JO5!

Meant Social Security..

I rather fancy being the minister for culture.

What's wrong with the National Health Action party?
Run by doctors for all of us to get the NHS back again. Some people see it as a single issue party. However, the Tories in my view made a mistake by telling us all that GPs were capable of running huge budgets.
Many of them have more experience than Osborne had when he was made chancellor. He probably never even had any experience of accounting apart from signing his dad's wallpaper business accounts.
Headteachers also run huge budgets, so they could join forces to run the country.
Do any of you agree with Michael Gove's "back to when we were at school" ideas?

Ok that's miceElf sorted

Nanadog. I'd ADORE social security. Even I couldn't make a bigger mess of it than it is already!
Do you know they are changing the descriptors for ESA AGAIN! That's the third change since it started. Since that dratted ATOS can't apply the current one correctly heaven knows what they'll do with new ones. The appeal service will then have to juggle 4different systems. My poor old brain can't cope. I think I will retire!

I have voted in every election since I was 21 and have always voted SNP. I joined the party in 1973 - since then it has moved steadily leftwards until it has nearly caught up with me!

The Westminster system is devised in such a way that new or minority parties have little or no influence (no big backers, denied PPBs or a place on debates or Question Time, seldom called at PMQs, ridiculed when they speak, etc.) and that will continue until there is proper proportional representation. PR is not in the best interests of the big two who would rather take their chances in the 'winner takes all' system. They are not too worried about an independent or small party candidate at an election because they would rather lose 1 vote or seat to the 'others' than to the opposition, which = 2 votes/seats lost in terms of overall majority.

The alternative is to join an existing party and work from within by creating an inhouse pressure group.

Good luck to the new (virtual) party - I would suggest SENORITY as the name

I don't think I'm left-wing enough for this party!

Come on, Ana, you could have an input into our constitution! I propose Bags as Minister for Science and Technology, and Soop as Minister for Peace.

I like that Seniority
jeni sorted
ana how about heading up the new Ministry of Common Sense
greatnan proposals accepted subject to their agreement.

Women's affairs? What are you implying, jeni?

Not that you'd had affairs. But that you seem well balanced and sensible .

Thank you....I think!

Ministry of Wonder and Awe.
Ministry of Food, Drink, Fishing and Partying.
Ministry of Men
Ministry of Woodlands and Ash Trees

Well, if we'd known those options were available....!

Ministry of Magic is a must

Still time to bagsy a position. ana

Ministry of Much Ado About Nothing

Oh and the famous 'Ministry of silly walks' mr 15/12month DGD is already qualified for that post!

Right-wing? - not the forum that's for sure!

Can I be chief whip? I think it would suit my temperament.
