After 2 weeks of listening to all our politicians pontificate on how they will cure all our ills I have reached the conclusion that there is only 1 answer.
We need a Dictator.
Now they need to be a Benign dictator who is prepared to ignore public opinion to do some of the unpleasant things needed to sort out or finances and without resorting to hanging bankers or politicians.
So who would be the ideal dictator?
Nah.
We need a dictator who WILL resort to hanging bankers & other politicians
Me. The obvious answer. Probably a few parasites will leave the country as well once I am installed
Next question?
Ooh! Ooh! Can I be Chief Inquisitor?
PLEEEEEEEEEEAAASEEE?????
Heh! I could torture Hora all day long! 
Duly appointed Talky
Now who else for the cabinet? Of course I reserve the right not to listen to them.
What’s wrong with hanging the bankers, I have yet to hear an argument that there is any special requirement to do that work, it seems to be intellectually on par with low level technical work or administrative jobs, the kind of work that could be done by 60% or more of the population with a little training.
And as for the politicians, they become surplus to requirements in a dictatorship anyway, may as well just hang em up.
Obviously somebody who doesn't desperately want to be a dictator.
Me.
Duly appointed Talky
Yay!
(Toddles off to select torture instruments...)
I'll handle defence, if that's OK.
I'd sort of got you pencilled in for foreign office. CFH - still Defense - you're in.
I was merely thinking on re-employing all politicians as menial serfs shovelling Sh** and other pleasant jobs at minimum wage and stripping them of their pensions etc. A far more effective punishment than just killing them.
Torture as a tool for retribution is much more effective if done mentally to supposedly otherwise bright intelligent people than just hang draw and quarter them ( I admit there may be exceptions eg Blair)
FO? Well, I can handle that sort of thing, TJ. I'm a jolly clubbable chap and more than capable of a few linguistic turns. Smashing.
Me. The obvious answer.
epic fail there TJ
bruk - MemberSo who would be the ideal dictator?
Me! Me! Me!
I promise to be good and will rule the land Henry VIII style.
Brazen Bull anyone?
p/s: did I hear someone questioning me? ... Off with the head!

That would certainly come as good news to bank CEOs because now they can fire all their expensive staff and replace them with much cheaper people.
That won't happen, the ceo's come from the same schools and are part of the same system of inflated egos and self intrest, they believe they are all something special, without any evidence to support the fact.
Peer reviewed pay deals, I wish I could sit down with my mates and we could all decide how much each other was paid.

Too late my son - Me and talky got in their first. I'm in charge, Talkemada is playing the Beria role, CFH got foreign office.
I might be able to find a minor role for you.
The dictator and his cabinet are setting up nicely for my "bloodless" coup in a few years. Flash, you'll never last with TeeJ...time to rethink your move. Talcumpowdermada, have a think too...
If TJ's running the country I'll leave now. Nothing will ever get done cos the country will be on strike.
Tree - I thought you were in your sandpit at the moment?
anyway - no one will go on strike in the TJ workers paradise - cos if they do I will set talkemada on them. there will be no room for strikes in TJs workers paradise
TJ will there be a lack of petrol, general failure of business and a breakdown of society in a wyndham-esque way?
if so, count me in... 
runs off to find big stick, gun & self sufficient pad somewhere remote with good trails
Yup, still out here, and not coming back now!!
You better hope there isn't a TJ ver 2 out there anywhere, or he's gonna sue you for denying the right to strike!
Tree - defence is still going if you want a place in teh TJ cabinet.
DaRC_L - that will happen anyway
Talcumpowdermada needs to have people scared of him.
Okay then.
*tows the party line*
I'm assuming it's ok to U-Turn in the tj cabinet then!! It's gonna be interesting having a left wing dictator and right wing FO and Defence...
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Or - Its better to have them in the tent pissing out than outside pissing in.
bagsy health, and I can also tutor talkemada in the prodding of the genitalia with big pointy sticks, etc.
If health's already spoken for, could I be minister in charge of burning stuff?
TJ - you can't be a proper dictator without a Ministry for Truth and Justice....
