    As 40 people appear to have voted for David Beckham for Chancellor, I do sometimes wonder about who these voters are, and am concerned they might actually be able to legally vote.

    Interesting to note that Ed Balls didn't make it into the top 10.

    David Beckham sounds like a good idea.Not so sure about John Terry though.:D
    The UK is broke and one of these days when interest rates are higher - well it won't matter who is chancellor.

    Looking at the poll I think people have voted for those they believe are most likely to tell the truth and be honest.

    We might not like what we're told but it's easier to swallow if we don't feel like we're being lied to or treated like idiots.
