I ask a group of 6-year-olds "Who should be the next prime minister?" They had some thoughts A THREAD

Rory - 'Susanna' So, Rory has a new girlfriend...Can you guess who it is? A true gentleman he sees nothing but the world in Susanna and thinks she is capable of leading the UK. Susanna is a smart girl but I have seen her try to pencil sharpen her own hair so for me, I'm out.

JJ - 'KSI' For you old folk. KSI is a YouTuber. He has an infectious personality although no real desirable skills to be PM. He would be massively underqualified but so is the current guy. Not much policy going on here just pure vibes. He would definitely get young people voting

Jack - 'The Hulk' Strong, powerful leader with a slight temper issue. I would imagine he's not best suited to parliament. Jack said "He could smash bad people away" Which would ease the backlog on the police. Also, The Avengers could be on his backbench. Have Thor as chancellor

Ravi - 'Someone Kind' A very political answer from the Ravster. Not giving specific names just characteristics. I think he is subtly throwing his hat into the ring. Which might cause a stir because he genuinely would get my vote. He fights for justice and peace. A real leader.

Lola - 'Henry the 8th' I had to break the unfortunate news to Lola that henry the 8th is dead. She gasped as if this was breaking news. I did explain he died over 470 years ago. She gasped again. I left her to process this huge information.

Emma - 'I don't know, I'm not sure' There is ambiguity around voting in politics. Do we vote on policy or person? Emma is waiting to make an informed, sensible decision based on facts. She hasn't made her mind up right now and that's great. This independent thinking will go far.

Belle - 'Donald Trump' Please Belle, anything but this! Could you even imagine the uproar this would cause? Replacing a wet blond mop with an orange one. Belle is entitled to her views so I respectfully accepted the answer. Although the shudder down my spine lingered for hours.

Mikey - 'Kung Fu Panda' Interestingly, it's not dissimilar to who we have now. A slobbish, bumbling oaf who doesn't really have a clue but instead falls into situations he's unprepared for. The difference here is Mr.Panda actually comes through with his promises in the end.

Zahra - 'Big Ben' I squinted. Confused. Does Zarha believe that Big Ben is a person or does she actually want a clock to run the country? I suppose the timekeeping in the UK would be immaculate. Problem is he's always covered in scaffolding. No, she thinks Big Ben is a person.

Susanna - 'Rory' Like a true power couple, they have each other's backs. I think they want to co-run the country but I feel like Susanna would eventually eat Rory alive. Using Rory as a JFK-style puppet, Using his handsome charm to woo the people while she pulls the real strings

END OF THREAD To end; A quote from Oli age 6 "I am small but I am tall when I need to be"

If you're feeling generous, it would be amazingly appreciated. 😊 https://ko-fi.com/georgepointo...

@GeorgePointon_ Ravi…🥲💕

@GeorgePointon_ Ravi…..destined for greatness. I hope his parents read these threads 👏

@GeorgePointon_ Susanna pencil-sharpening her own hair is over qualified.

@GeorgePointon_ Yet another gem! One day one of them will be running the country. I'm going with Ravi. He'll know what to do by then.

@GeorgePointon_ Ravi's parents must be awesome people to be raising such a great kid!

@GeorgePointon_ @thequeenmehreen Here’s another suggestion from a 9 year old https://x.com/NatashaKLondon/s...

@GeorgePointon_ This thread, on a day when we have had such horrendous news here in Ireland has made me smile and warmed my heart. They are little gems

@GeorgePointon_ Ravi needs his own Twitter or spot on news round, the people need to hear is amazing thoughts on todays current affairs 🤷🏻‍♀️Go Ravi👏

@GeorgePointon_ Be honest, who just scrolled through straight to Ravi's answer (sorry kids)? Ravi is the compassionate political mind we need in these uncertain times! #BeMoreRavi #RaviforPM

@GeorgePointon_ The Hulk would not only follow the science, he'd understand it.

@GeorgePointon_ My 7 year old son said 'Alexa, because she knows everything'

@GeorgePointon_ Perhaps in Lola’s world, everyone she’s heard about is still with us. Ignoring all the historical arses, that’s an incredible concept. You could bump into Aristotle on your summer hols. Elvis could show up on Strictly. Amazing.

@GeorgePointon_ #BemoreRavi is the perspective we need for 2022. #RaviforPM. Also Susanna and Rory for DCMS AND international trade…

@GeorgePointon_ Be More Ravi ❤️

@GeorgePointon_ Ravi making a strong start to 2022. Would 100% vote for #PMRavi.

@GeorgePointon_ your posts are a joy, thank you

@GeorgePointon_ Sunak, Truss and Raab are busy manoevering. They have no idea there’s a six-year-old ready for the top job.

@GeorgePointon_ Oh Ravi Ravi Ravi you have stolen my heart and of course you get my vote 🗳 #RaviForPM

@GeorgePointon_ My question to the y4’s - what does the prime minister do all do for his job? Answer - have parties that he shouldn’t have!

@GeorgePointon_ My granddaughter reckons she should be the boss!

@GeorgePointon_ Oh to be a fly on the wall in your class! Another amazing thread Sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@GeorgePointon_ I love these threads. The wisdom of children. Makes me realise how much I miss going into classrooms.

@GeorgePointon_ Quick poll of a 6, 7 and 10 year old: 6 yr old- my Dad as he drives old ladies to appointments and he’s kind and caring- or a zombie 7 yr old- @MarcusRashford 10 yr old- MP Ed Davey

@GeorgePointon_ The quote from Oli should go alongside some of history's greatest. Simple yet profound.
