Ah, Prime Minister III

Prime Minister: Why is everyone still here? I thought it was lunchtime.

Home Secretary: As I understand it, Prime Minister...

PM: Primey

HS: Pardon?

PM: Everyone calls me Primey now. Makes me more approachable.

HS: As I understand it, Primey, the Work Experience girl introduced them to an online quiz that tells you where you fall on the political spectrum. They’ve all stayed in to take it. In fact, I’m about to take it myself.

PM: Let’s take it together, Homey

HS: Very well. First question: what is our age?

PM: Seems a bit personal

HS: They just want to verify we’re not children. Okay, now we need to say how much different issues mean to us. We’ll start with the environment.

PM: It’s nice

HS: Do we want to protect it?

PM: Within reason

HS: Okay, and how do we feel about taxes?

PM: They’re necessary

HS: Very necessary?

PM: Quite necessary

HS: And how do we feel about crime?

PM: It’s wrong

HS: Very wrong?

PM: Quite wrong

HS: And education?

PM: It’s good

HS: Very good?

PM: Quite good

HS: Defence?

PM: Well, we’re friends with the Americans

HS: Health?

PM: Nice if you can get it

HS: Do we want a t-shirt with our results on?

PM: Depends what they are

HS: Okay, I’ll click ‘Maybe Later’

PM: Well?

HS: Congratulations, Prime Minister, we passed! We’re centrists!
