Who would honestly want to be Prime Minister. The only way to get there is to smooth off all of your edges until there's nothing real left of your actual self. It's a career ending role. You can't effect any real change. Noone is going to become PM then suddenly say 'let's fix homelessness, lift people out of poverty and turn this country into a paradise'. No their role is to maintain the status quo at any cost. Oh no we can't possibly *do* anything because the previous administration left us so high and dry. Bullshit. Just do one thing. Anything. Re-establish libraries and youth centres. Introduce UBI. Quietly redistribute police and military funding. Give greater power to local authorities and focus on transitioning to greenspace. Hit all of the big companies with devastating taxes. Watch the big ones move away and some of the medium ones pay up. Create an enormous pool of resources for community based projects, teaching and the NHS and totally change the culture so businesses are no longer rewarded for being shitty. Phase out banking and finance altogether. Secretly have a long-term goal to convert all of the countries financial wealth into infrastructure for a clean-living sustainable future. Return the cities to arable farming. Convert all of the cars into farming equipment. Teach our children science and poetry, so that they might save our dying corner of the planet but live joyfully. Clean our water and our soil and raise families that are strong and happy and healthy and live long and prosper. Set our sights on the stars and develop intergalactic travel from polymer derived from all of the plastic removed from our seas. Send our brightest off to the stars to spread the word of love. Meet our galactic cousins and learn to live as one across space and time. Join together in harmony and then kill god. Why can't it just be that simple?

@TheBreadmonkey I totally agree with the Sending our brightest to the stars part. Load up all the Epstein class into musks rockets and send them to the stars. Just the one star actually, our nearest one.

Those who want to be politicians shouldn't, those who should don't want to.

A cartoon features Larry the Cat in a green armchair, wearing a bow tie. The walls of 10 Downing Street are adorned with mounted heads of past prime ministers and various mice figures. A speech bubble from the cat states, "To this day, I've no idea how they get in."
