Something popped up of Facebook or somewhere about Romania and its health care system etc and it tweaked my interest. It sounded lovely.

Nicusor Daniel Dan; president of Romania
I've been reading up on Romania recently which seems like a pretty amazing place to live regarding health care etc. So I googled their president and am pretty impressed by his cv and sounds like an all round good guy [happy to be corrected though]

We love Romania. We visited many times because we lived not to far from the Bulgaria / Romania border.
We owned a property in Transylvania in the town where Bran Castle is situated.

Oh come on. Promises of tax reduction kept the Tories in power for years.

Am not interested in what the Tories did or didn’t do tbh,if we want excellent public services we must pay for it.Likewise for defence.

Mark Carney and Andy Burnham. That's a photogenic coalition!

Very likely, as we should if you ask me.

I think I agree with another poster, possibly DrWatson who thought we should simply hand the UK governance over to the Netherlands to administer.😁

Would the electorate pay high taxes though...

I'd quite like President Macron. His term is nearly up, I think, so he could come and live here instead. I don't mean right here in this house, but London.... although, on second thoughts...maybe right here grin.
And Mark Carney.
Definitely Zelensky.
I can't think of a fourth at the moment.

🤣🤣🤣

As I was so inspired by your people to admire and there’s much much vitriol on and offline about politics in particular, this thread is about living politicians (from any country) whom you think would make a great coalition to run our country.

So, I’ll kick off (I can already hear the “no’s”, “surely not” and the eye rolling!)grin

My (imaginary) coalition is made up from the four people below:-

Mark Carney
Zelensky
Macron
Jacinda Arden.

Over to you!
