It would be better if they found something less obvious but far more likely. For example, people do realise we will probably have Alex "Big Potatoes" Salmond as Chancellor after May 2015? What will THAT be like?!!

You'll love him! Your life will be transformed (though he'll probably opt to be PM instead
