Our Friends Chosen Randomly from the Unemployed
One from the top and five from the bottom
Boulton & Co. over at Sky News have finally answered the question Westmonster didn't know we were dying to ask: Who would be in your dream cabinet?
They received 2,226 responses from the vaunted "Sky News Panel" to their multiple-choice survey, and it yielded some horribly exciting results.
It seems the panel thinks very highly of Sir David Attenborough and Carol Vorderman, voting them overwhelmingly for PM and Chancellor, respectively. Other notables include Michael Palin as Foreign Secretary, and Jamie Oliver as Health Secretary
More notable, however, were some of the candidates who received votes but didn't win:
- Jeremy Clarkson won 133 write-in votes for PM
- Naomi Campbell scored 34 votes for Justice Secretary
- Fictional character Lt. Gonville Bromhead (Michael Caine) polled 405 for Defence Secretary
- Lady Thatcher scored 384 for Work & Pensions minister
The side contest among Top Gear presenters for head of the Ministry of Transport was no contest — Clarkson outpolled human cannonball Richard Hammond by 1,078 to 413.
