Who would you propose for the VWAUDIFORUM government?

[Hex69]

Ok, so if we assume that Stuart would take the role of King/President, who from the VWAUDIFORUM community would you propose for the key government posts?

Prime Minister

Chancellor

Home Secretary

Foriegn Secretary

Transport Secretary

etc.....

[a8 tech]

Paul B for any as hes old and daft as a brush lol

[Col]

PM - Mycarsavw, subjective views and balance would be imposed
Bean Counter - MK5GTTDI
Homo Sec - The Captain
Foreign Sec - Desert Fish, obviously
Trans mins - A8tech & Crasher

I'd be in opposition as Screaming Lord Such of the Monster Raving Loony Party and shout hear hear or boo a lot, cos it is fun to argue and make a spectacle of oneself.

Stuart obviously has to be the leader of the house if an evil Emperor / Sith Lord can be such a thing.

I didn't even think of that but yes. Main reason is you are, after Sam, probably the most sensible one on here.

Thank you very much.

you are not the 1st forumist to have said that. The 1st shall not be named, their complement, like yours, came as much of a suprise.

PM: Sam (Mycarsavw) of course!

Chancellor: Dudey Head... IIRC he's an architect of some sort? Maybe some good with an abacus?

Home secretary: I'll give it A8 Tech otherwise he'll have nothing. :D

Foreign secretary: As mentioned Desertfish is the man.

Transport secretary: Ben... he even drives tankers so he will know how to "transport."

Justice secretary: Crasher sounds good.

I think Malc would be a good ambassador too, after all ambassadors travel in style... and he's got a Ferrari for the job. ;)


Paul B for any as hes old and daft as a brush lol

Oi!

All the wiser for the experience my friend... As for daft as a brush... well... okay then. :p

Paul

[MalcQV]

Why thankyou Paul. Not sure what an Ambassador does but I think not much, which suits me down to the ground.

Not sure my old Fez is travelling in style though :p

I would of course make sure anything with 6 or more cylinders gets a massive reduction in road tax and fuel tax, just because it is so cool to be driving one.

Just thought ambassadors can't do that :o

[hagis]

Seeing as I'm topping the VWAF Xpert 11 league, I'd have to nominate myself for Sports minister.

How Modest. :biglaugh:

[audipersempre]

I have no morals, lie a lot, am useless with money, credit cards and budgeting, make bad financial decisions and can't keep secrets.

I am worried I wouldn't be accepted for a job in the VWAUDIFORUM cabinet.

What do you think?

[euroslap]

Try Labour for a Job????

:biglaugh:

[audipersempre]

Turned me down as I was under qualified. Apparently I didn't include theft or bigamy in my CV.

Indeed. Thank heavens there are no immediate elections! :p

Mind you, its yours to lose this year Hagis.

Paul

[ini]

I nominate myself for 'el presidente'.

Otherwise, some sort of grand vizier (evil) type role.

:D cant find a good Dr evil smiley. lol

[omegadirective]

Anyone who lowers fuel taxes and duty, and generally properly improves my way of life will get my vote. :)

Or you could always just get me a pet :wizard: ! :) :firedevil

Senior Donkey for foreign Secretary then?

As for all the other roles I nomimate myself.
I'll blend the finest of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin and Gengis Khan to name but a few to create a just world in which we all may prosper!! :p

I like the idea of Crasher as minister for justice actually...

Oh and Hex in charge of agriculture!

I'll invent needless fancy roles & titles for everyone else as in all the best toalitarian tyraniships!
(just made that word up, cool eh?!)

Megalomaniac, me?...

[Crasher]

Justice Minister, yes, I like the thought. Who would be buildings minister, we need to take about a prison building program, the erection of gallows, stocks, cells, regional re-education camps and “other” requirements I may have-I’ll sort the place out, you mark my words, no one will be safe, especially me!

At your service :D

[paul b]

I guess I could be deputy buildings minister too, after all, I'm a property maintenance engineer by trade.

But Nick sounds good for the big job. :)

I also nominate Malc as minister for motorsport, we all know we need one!

Paul

[Crasher]

OK that's two positions filled, I can think of another position I could fill from Hex69's post, so-next?

Who will be minister for war?

[paul b]

For the sake of our lives not you, otherwise it will be GB vs the rest of the world! :biglaugh:

It would be us being accused of having weopons of mass destruction!

[Crasher]

I’ll have you know I have very good diplomatic skills, shoot first, ask questions later being one of them.

[Col]

I thought all Vulcans did was yap on about livining long and prospering?

So surely a post of health minister would be more appropriate.

[Crasher]

I am not a Vulcan, I am a cat!

[Dudey Head]

Dudey Head... IIRC he's an architect of some sort?

Ahem...

I like the idea of just walling in 'swear' holes & chucking the vermin in & leaving them to it to be honest, like in Escape From New York, it'd be cheaper than a prison building programme!!
Less tax wasted on human detritus & more spent on Getting the NHS back on it's feet properly!!

[Crasher]

I have a great plan in my manifesto for the NHS, privatise it! That would stop them wasting money!

[STEWY L]

an interesting thread, but fundamentally flawed.
an elected PM?
no, it would never work,
yours faithfully,

Gordon B.

Universal, guaranteed healthcare, free at the point of use is a bench mark of a truly civilised society.
A country, especially a 'developed' one, that neglects to ensure that it's infants are immunised and that it's elderly can call for assistance without fear of fees or convoluted insurance forms (how many are scared to heat their homes through fear of the cost) has a bit of shame-faced explaining to do in my book! (America?!)
I'd rather not see a return to 'the good old days' where dying children with tuberculosis are a common sight or impoverished pensioners are rotting at home with bedsores. Such things are far too important to be left open to the volatility of market forces & being 'streamlined' to try & make it profitable (which I think is nigh on impossible anyway!)
There needs to be a management cull in the NHS, too many brace-stretchers not talking to each other. I've seen it first hand, I've done quite a few aborted schemes for the NHS, aborted because middle-management are too busy disagreeing about what they want, let alone what they need! Obviously, they still have to pay the fees though.
Mrs. Dudey used to be a nurse but left the NHS altogether because she was that disillusioned with watching it being driven into the ground by a multitude of 'mis-managers'. It needs to be more didactic with less minions arguing over minutiae.

Bloody champagne socialists!

Done the world of good for this county in the last ten years, doubled NHS spending, still a crap service! Make them worry about their jobs not being 100% secure guaranteed for life no matter what they do and they wouldn’t make such a hash of it. When one in 20 of a country working polulation is employed looking after its health, someone has really screwed up!

It's the layers and layers of unnecessary 'crony' management that the tories put there that are cocking it up! Labour should have turfed them out ASAP.
The people that do matter, the nurses and HCA's aren't guaranteed a job for life and are leaving, like Mrs. D. She basically jumped before she was pushed because the ******* in their ivory towers were sat around stretching their braces and scratching there heads & decided a big shake up was required. Her whole department had the guillotine looming so she found another job before being given the hoof. Then they changed their minds. Again. They are a waste of space and they are the waste of money. Money can be thrown at anything with little effect, it needs to be allocated directly, bypassing the idiots in the middle. Things are usually much better value if you cutout the middle man. All this came about from a Thatcherite fear of anything being state owned with centralised power. A few essential services run in this manner hardly makes us into a Soviet state! Besides, recently hasn't capitalism proved it works oh so well when left to it's own devices!!
As for the statistics of 1 in 20, I don't like the idea of my parents, who are knocking on a bit now, and my daughter who's only 9, waiting in line behind 19 other people to get seen to. I'd rather that proprtion was higher than lower!
