I am not totally sure how this works which seems to put me in a much better position than the current government.
We have enough people on STW to mount a very effective and widespread coup. I want a squad to take down government communications and replace with a direct live streaming of episodes of Rainbow. That will keep people entertained and bemused for a while until we get a fully formed Comms directive.
Someone on here must run payroll for MPs. Please turn that off.
New Covid message - Don't be a ****
1) Do not stay in close proximity to other people, especially on enclose areas like cars or factories/offices where you stand/sit next to each other all day.
2) Wash regularly and clean your clothes daily. (for Daily Mail readers we can add something about not being French here)
3) If you can do your job from home then crack on, God* knows we need to keep the country going (*other mythical deities are acceptable)
4) If you can't do your job then we will try to help you. I don't yet have access to the government numbers on exactly what I can do but if anyone on here has that info then please PM me.
5) Tax rebates will be given to companies and last years profits must be passed down to the staff. If Amazon and Google haven't paid their tax then tuff titty, they will still be required to passon last years profits to their staff
6) More stuff when I think about it or when you suggest it.
Bring on the Revolution!!!
Too many words. Need just a 3 word catch-all.
Don't Be Dicks.
Just Be Nice.
Dom's A ****
Ideas Are Bulletproof.
I think if you wanted to be president we would need a revolution rather than a coup.
if you are happy being PM then a coup in fine
I'll be the "minister of truth"

Interesting point. Are we looking to replace Prime Minister Johnson, or his boss, President Cummings?
Can we have a test for anyone wanting to become a representative in your Senate, Congress, parliament, tea house, or whatever it's going to get called.
So that they can show:
They are not a d**k
They know what makes a law or policy morally justifiable.
They are not connected to outside interests that will influence or advantage them financially. IE, your job is to be an MP, not moonlight as a company director somewhere.
They can actually string together a sentence, off the cuff, that doesn't include more umm, ahh, hesitation stops, than actual words. Looking at you BJ.
Essentially, let's stop elections being a personality contest, and have MPs who will work for the good of the country and constituencies rather than their pockets.
I think we need to hear your policy on the the day's most pressing issue - squirrels
Would have thought dictatorship was more your style Nick?
Baby Steps Nixie
1) Get the public behind you as a leaser
2) Alter the constitution to make your role permanent
3) Remove opposition
4) Smile and be the benevolent dictator
It is the Putin 101 method
We need a discussion around the Justice Minister role and the relevant punishments for vigilante idiots putting anti-cycling traps in the woods, close passes / hit & run, anti-cycling signs in parks, villages etc and anti-cycling letters / comments in the press and on social media. Oh, and flytippers.
I'd suggest death by firing squad but I don't think even Donald Trump could build a long enough wall to accommodate all the above miscreants.
Apart from the above extreme violence, I'd be in favour of benevolent dictatorship, let me know how I can vote for you WCA.
Don't be a Dom.

We all cant be subs.....
I fear for my fellow cyclists with such a petrolhead in charge! 😉
The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
An orange sash is what the President of the Galaxy traditionally wears.
On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had. He spent two of his ten Presidential years in prison for fraud. Very very few people realize that the President and the Government have virtually no power at all, and of these very few people only six know whence ultimate political power is wielded. Most of the others secretly believe that the ultimate decision-making process is handled by a computer. They couldn't be more wrong.
