Who will you pick for Team GBR Cabinet? It’s eleven vs eleven.
The dust has not settled on the election debate last night, but the pollsters are earning their money, there is still a three horse race and it still looks like the UK is heading for a hung Parliament, or better still some form of coalition based on some solid team work and straight talking. Now, if that is the case how is it going to break down? The reality will be the big vote winners and hard hitting political muscle will win the best seats at Cabinet. But if you were picking your team who would pull on the shirt and represent Team GBR Cabinet?
I’ve picked out the main eleven positions – PM, Chancellor, Home Office, Foreign, Defence, Health, Business/Innovation, Education, Transport, Energy and Environment. It’s up to you which formation you go for – 4-4-2; 4-1-2-1-2 or even an all out 3-2-5 (W-formation) and return to the Butskellite consensus of the 1950s and 60s. Remember that England’s Alf Ramsey played 4-3-3 but it ended up as 4-4-2. Yes, I am that sad.
The only rule is that the PM plays in goal - because, the buck stops with him/her. I might make an exception if you make a strong case for a sweeper/libero and you can confidently cast your choice as PM in the same mould as Bobby Moore, Beckenbauer or any number of outstanding Italians (hey, they’re quite good at coalition Government too).
There you go. No prizes. No design gimmicks. Just fun. Email, tweet or blog your picks please.
