Gordon Brown's New Election Strategy

INT. GORDON BROWN'S OFFICE AT 10 DOWNING STREET.

Gordon Brown presses a button on an intercom

GORDON: Could you send Alistair Darling in please?

Alistair Darling enters.

ALISTAIR: You wanted to see me, Prime Minister?

GORDON: Yes, Alistair. I wanted to know what you think about my new election strategy. I've copied strategies of worldwide politicians in the hope that their successes will rub off on me.

ALISTAIR: Right, what have you got so far?

GORDON: Well, tell me what you think of this.

Camera stays on Alistair Darling, who has a stunned look on his face. We pan round to reveal Gordon Brown has just put on a bright green blazer, adorned with photos of himself.

ALISTAIR: Erm...it's certainly special, sir.

GORDON: Well it worked for Mugabe. Now sit down while I tell you about my 'Final Economic Solution'...

END.

There's a good idea in there but I don't think the Mugabe blazer quite does it.

It's a good idea, but to much build up.

Also could do with a second punch in my view.

The second punch was supposed to be the 'Final Economic Solution', as in a reference to the 'Final Solution' Hitler came up with. It's a bit weak though! I was going to call it the 'New Economic Policy' (a policy Lenin introduced in Russia) but thought that might go over peoples heads a bit.

It's a good idea, but I'd work in more Zimbabwe references, and less Hitler ones.

Red fingers, gangs of youths, kidnappings, forcing the leader of the opposition to resign etc.

Yeah that's not a bad idea. I'm sure the red fingers and forcing the opposition to resign can fit in somewhere.
