    All white men, interesting.

    For me, it needs to be diverse, intellectual, have male and female perspectives, a mix of left and right to ensure sensible governance, but it needs to be pro Europe and anti lockdown to ensure that those catastrophes can never be revisited on us.

    So I'll go:

    Neil Kinnock
    Kenneth Clarke
    Margaret Beckett
    Professor Carl Heneghan
    Caroline Lucas

    All great but too much group think. I reckon you need a balance of views.

    Maybe. Problem is voting against things like Abortion and Gay Rights should be an immediate disqualification, so there’s very few options.

    To be fair your choice of Ken Clarke probably isn’t awful. He’s very anti-workers rights though.
