Who's your dream UK political Chancellor?


It's a year this week since the last general election. The economy still dominates the political discourse now as it did then. Recent memory has seen all three major parties in office. Which of the following politicians would best improve the UK economy?

Martin Lewis? :rotfl:

Gordon_the_Moron

I voted for George Osborne, I wouldn't call him my dream chancellor but he is the best of that list (just my opinion, I know lots of people will disagree with me !)

None of the above

I would go for Bruister - "None of the Above"

The only 'dream' that lot would appear in would involve cold sweats!

Alex Salmond - seems to be doing a fine job up here, getting rid of prescription charges, freezing council tax and not imposing Uni fees up to £9K a year... he must be doing something right somewhere... don't think you'd be able to persuade him to be a Chancellor though, seems quite happy running the country up here for the moment.:D

I can't believe Gordon Brown got so many votes, what are you people on!!!

I, too, wanted an option of "None of the above".

I deliberately avoided a 'none of the above' option as I knew it'd win hands down. This is about political figures - afterall only they can be chancellor (barring a revolution)

Their's a wealth of difference between what I personally would like, my political ideology and what I think would run the country into the ground.

I voted Ken Clarke mainly on ideology, but don't forget that Gordon didn't do that bad a job of balancing the books given the restrictions. Making the treasury work shouldn't be confused with policy making at number 10.
