Gransnet Prime Minister

Before I vote I need to see their manifesto😄😄.

Good grief. Good job we’re all different, isn’t it?

My thoughts exactly!

Monica gets my vote - plain common sense always.

Monica for PM, you are a popular choice and then
GrannyGravy13 for the Chancellor, good business sense and diplomacy.
Get well soon

I think that Dickens ought to be in the race, too...

That's good, the name I was thinking of has cropped up. As I have little knowledge of politics, I thought it might be a case of the blind leading the blind, but for me Dickens always writes in a manner that demonstrates someone who could competently lead rather than drive apart.

M0nica PM
MaizieD Chancellor
growstuff Education
varian Environment
Whitewavemark2 Home Office

I will have to think of the rest.

(Thank you for your good wishes, the GC have passed on a particularly nasty tummy bug, haven’t been able to keep any food/drink in since Wednesday evening)

If we’re talking about a Prime Minister for Gransnet to keep us focussed and kind, then Monica.
If we’re talking about a Prime Minister for the country, knowledgeable, fair minded and has the belief that people can work together to make things better, then Whitewavemark2.
I suspect neither of them would accept the jobs though, they are far too sensible.

Elegran but she's far too sensible to want to be

... oy! you leave me out of this MaizieD... I'm voting you for Chancellor BTW

MaizieDOR WWM2 though they'll still be banging their heads against a wall.
Lots of folk dont want to know how things work ,they listened to Thatchers home economics and believed every word .

Are you feeling better, paddyann?

Well, anyone sensible wouldn't want the job as Casdon and Grammaretto say.
So I think we're stuck with the status quo.

janejudge always pragmatic and diplomatic, has a nuanced of understanding of how social care is failing in this country, and would I’m sure take steps to improve the lot of women, children’s and the vulnerable in the U.K.

She also can be very funny, which is needed at the PMQ’s

Sadly not Callistemon it took 4 tests before I got a positive and its been horrible.Still having the dizzy spells ,sore throat and banging headache.I cant remember feeling this bad before .My GS is 2 weeks in and still feeling awful too.
Thats what I get for thinking we had cleverly avoided it ,its gets yo when yo least expect it !

It's horrible, paddyann, I sympathise. DH and I got it just as we were due our vaccines four weeks ago. I was worse than him, it was two weeks before we tested negative and I only managed to go out again yesterday, just for food shopping.
I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days, only wanted water.
No sore throat, some sneezing, terrible aching, dizziness, tired and exhausted. No, I can't remember feeling that ill before either.
Now feel lethargic and have a blocked sore ear.

We thought we'd avoided it too!

I do hope you feel better soon, take it easy.

Who for Health Minister?

mumofmadboys or BigBertha?

Hope all of you who are feeling ill, or have recently been ill, get well soon.
I often sit on the fence with regard to politics (although not always) so I’ll do the same today. I’m not nominating anyone. I’m sure the rest of you will make some very good suggestions.

Sitting on the fence is often construed as being a bad thing - but maybe it's a good idea to reflect on which side you want to jump down on - if either?

I prefer that to knee-jerk reactions.

I vote for a benign(ish) dictator- Myself. I'd change everything.

Me - except it seems like fat too much hard work and stress and I couldn't be bothered! 😁

It's perhaps not a good idea to nominate anyone in case someone else feels left out!

I'll nominate everyone to be in Government.

As long as I can be Speaker, wear a daft wig to cover my messy hair, sit in a big chair and shout Order, Order!

"Callistemon* 😁

I absolutely agree.

Everyone can do a better job than the current abysmal lot we have.

Ooh. Like someone to nominate me. So here's my pitch.
My first act on appointment would be to make Larry the cat my Deputy PM. He would be purrrfect.
Next I would ban fireworks for every night except Bonfire night and New Year's Eve so no poor animals would be distressed.
I would lock up people who are cruel to animals or who are found running puppy farms.
I would make all animal and bird food VAT free.
Are you seeing a theme here?
Of course I would improve things for hoomans too. Under consultation with Larry, of course.
I await my nominations.

Me of course always right and completely fair😉

Definitely Monica gets my vote I’m always eager to read her posts.
