Martin Lewis is being called on to be the next Prime Minister
One of the leading financial experts in the UK is being called on to be the next Prime Minister. However, Martin Lewis has declined the invitation.
Martin Lewis, the founder of Money Saving Expert has been called upon to be the next Prime Minister. However, when asked about him leading the country his reply shocked many.
The Money Saving Expert responded on X Formally Twitter and said: “I’d rather wire my nipples to electrodes” than become prime minister.”
Leaving fans disappointed Martin Lewis went onto say “Our system is overly adversarial – mandating politicians to lie and sell policies they disagree with in order to hold the party line.
“It is structured with an official ‘opposition’ designed to oppose for the sake of it.
“Few can thrive in that environment. I believe in public service, but my mental health isn’t robust enough. I wouldn’t subject my family to it – would you?
Lewis added: “Ps I admire politicians of all sides who try. Most I meet are actually trying to do good. But in the end to do that you have to play the system and be incredibly mentally robust.”
Although Martin Lewis does not want to be the next Prime Minister, we decided to go on the streets of Manchester, Skegness, Lincoln, Boston, Grimsby, Leeds, and Scunthorpe to find out how many people think he should become the next Chancellor of the Exchequer.
96% of 200 people we asked said that Martin Lewis would make a great Chancellor of the Exchequer. When we asked if Martin Lewis should be the Prime Minister, only 72% said yes.
The overall response to Martin Lewis becoming the next Prime Minister was the money saving expert is too nice a person and thinks of other people rather than himself.
One important suggestion that was put forward many times during our research as that the Government should not have one single person making important financially decisions.
The repeated suggest was that Chancellor of the Exchequer office should be held by a group of experts including Martin Lewis, and members from Dragons Den including Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Gary Neville and Steven Bartlett.
