jmothecat Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Michael Gove higher than George Osborne? I'm also surprised that Caroline Spelman is higher than a few more likely candidates, and that Jeremy Hunt isn't on the list. Would certainly have him higher than Alan Johnson. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I have a horrible feeling that Jeremy Hunt will be PM one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Can't believe this man isn't in the top ten His party having practically no chance of ever leading a government may be the reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Alan Johnson is a terrible shout given he has stated quite clearly he has no interest in even leading the Labour Party. I wouldn't rule out David Milliband making a return in the future and being UK PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Future top ten possible leaders of Scotland (no matter what the referendum result) presumably being who, exactly? Outside of Nicola Sturgeon and those who will never run again (John Swinney) or who will never win (any Tory, Lib Dem or Green candidate) who is there? Joanne fucking Lamont? Mike Russell? Anas Sarwar? Jim Murphy? Douglas Alexander? Angus Robertson? My, the heather is truly set alight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anas Sarwar? Jim Murphy? Douglas Alexander? Angus Robertson? My, the heather is truly set alight... I've seen pro-Independence supporters get a bit angsty at the suggestion that Scottish politics is filled with B and C-teamers but at some level I think there's a lot of truth in it and a good reason for change. Certainly people from the unionist parties in the North British branch are practically all complete diddies atm (and I'm no fan of Mike Russell). I'd like to think a proper parliament in Edinburgh would envigorate politics up here in the coming generations, hopefully a few wannabe Birgitte Nyborg's decide to get into politics instead of the miserable bunch of c***s we have representing us in both parliaments. Just imagine Boris as PM though Don't know whether to laugh or cry thinking about that. Can genuinely imagine it happening at some point tbh.

I would Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon and Patrick Harvie above all of those mentioned in the bookies list. For labour they could have Gordon Brown, the libs could try and keep old Ming going long enough to go for it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah, Patrick Harvie is a great shout. If in the future we do away with the whole voting thing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific, isn't it? I've been sitting on this for a while because I don't want to give them ideas, but Labour should really have a picture of Lamont's big gormless head with text reading "Do you really want there to be any chance of me running an independent Scotland?" It'd probably actually get me thinking twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's bad enough that there's a possibilty of Joanne Lamentable even running the Parliament as it is, along with Fat Jackie as Justice Minister. The fecking Krankies could do a better job than those two. Now, if Poland can have twins as President and PM at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 All of them I would have zero confidence in them doing anything to drastically alter the path we're already on. Not to mention the same unelectable people behind scenes will still be there no matter what. Although most won't have heard of him, I think Steve Baker would make a good PM. Problem is people tend to vote for who they're most exposed to, and MSM is master at censoring and ridiculing credible people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
