Strictly Come Government

Is it time we abandoned the ballot box in favour of a Saturday night TV show?

Strictly Come Government.

We could vote for our favourites and the least popular would be voted out of the House of Parliament.

The panel would consist of a worker, a layabout, a pensioner and, of course, Martin Lewis.

    Hm, I'm not sure about that Martin Lewis chap, he's far too sensible. I'd suggest that we get in a Banker like, say, Fred The Shrek. This will ensure we get the quality of government we are used to in this Green Eden.

    Martin has the slightly glamourous shirts, hes clean looking, sensible, and although he does have the tendency to get over excited abnd shout a bit, he'd get my vote :T
