I could be the next PM of UK

As the British Tory party muddles its way through the choosing a new leader like a blindfolded person trying to stick the tail on a donkey, the once upon a time Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been trying against all odds to stay in No 10 Downing Street. Meanwhile, a wild-eyed cluster of ambitious Tories are in true power- seeking mode and eyeing up the Prime Minister’s job.
A quick scan of the list of those jockeying for No 10 Downing Street made it clear that I am indeed particularly well qualified for the role and could be a serious contender.
Minor problem – I am not eligible to stand for parliament in the UK but let’s compare my list to that of the person I would replace. Boris Johnson had been conniving to secure the top job for a long time. For some reason even his obvious incompetence and lying has not held him back. He has taken the Dunning Kruger effect to a new high or low depending on which way you look at it. (“The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is&rdquo
In his case, any intelligence is diverted into cunning. He told massive whoppers, was never dismayed by his own challenges to the truth or his blatant attempts to blame everything on others – apparently it was all.
- I can dress myself. I have a nice suit and have been known to wear a tie.
- I have told fewer lies that most of them. The few lies I have told have been high quality falsehoods that have not threatened to bring chaos to an entire nation. (Unlike many of the Tories who seem to have a reckless disregard for the truth)
- I could masquerade as a Tory Toff. I went to a posh private school (can’t you tell from my use of big words before breakfast)
- My family are ‘sort of’ landed gentry – I grew up on a New Zealand dairy farm. NB: When I went to France, I discovered I was actually a peasant.
- I can speak posh as if I have marbles in my mouth and say things like ‘I say chaps that’s not cricket’ if and when required.
- I think Britain currently provides good reasons to have citizenship in another country so that when it all goes wrong, I will be alright.
