I wonder if anyone will actually pick a politician? Harold Wilson? Obama? Churchill? Robert Owen (or was he just a lobbyist?)?
Depends how you define it, Machiavelli was a career politician (amongst other things) but I mostly picked him based on his literary work.
Wouldn't go anywhere near the current lot but there are a few politicians from further back that I respect and wouldn't mind picking...just seems a bit boring in the context of this draft!
My picks in all this would be completely ironic.
That gets boring quickly though. Har de har another person who was shite at handling money picked as Finance Minister. Much funnier to do what Betty and a few others are doing I reckon, where the picks are completely outrageous but still make sense in a roundabout way.
