DBWI: who's your pick for president, prime minister of britian?

Well, as we all know, the parlimentary AND the presidental elections happen this year in Britian. Who do you think will be president? Who will be prime minister? I'm sure the Brits are fed up with having a Labour Prime minister, and a Conservative president, so I'm quite sure that both will be from the same party this time, although which I haven't the slightest.
 
I'm guessing Archibald will be reelected as president, and you'll end up with a Libertarian Prime minister.

Although my views are probably a bit distorted by the transatlantic crossing. I really don't understand what the big deal is about the British government over here. I guess this is what being a Brit in POTUS election years is like.

OOC: Who's Archibald, you say? I have no idea.

OOC: Why he's the current prime minister of britian of course!
 
Clearly it's going to be Labour's year - whenever there's a hiccup in the economy, the voters are going to swing left. They only swing right when everthing's going ok.

Expect a double whammy from the left.
 
I'd be more inclined to say that Labour will be ousted at the next general election. They haven't been a left-wing party since the mid-90s; British politics is largely centrist. The Conservatives will win simply because the tendency in the UK is for apathy with governments to increase as time goes on, and they've been in power for 11 years - the last without an elected Prime Minister.

I'd fancy the Democrats for the Presidential nod if Obama wins. Hillary, I'm not so sure. McCain won't be far behind in either case though.
 
Charles Windsor-Montbatten for President! You've got to feel sorry for a guy who waits 65 years to be king and then has the monarchy abolished out from under him when he finally has the crown within his grasp.
