I was just thinking. In the UK government every cabinet minister, which are those with specific jobs like head of education, or health, also has an opposite “shadow” person from the other main party whose job is to argue with the other. Imagine you had the job of Shadow head of education. Must be an easy job, you just argue with the other guy. But then your party wins the election and things just got real. You got to do the job for serious now.

They should be chomping at the bit for the chance. It’s their role to argue how the job could be done better.

  • The entire showerthought must be in the title
  • Posts must be original/unique
  • Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
