Citizens will have the chance to see if they have what it takes to become prime minister in a new Channel 4 TV show in the UK
The reality show "Make Me Prime Minister" will follow 12 Britons, with opinions, with views, from across the political spectrum, in a competition that will explore what it really takes to enter the world of politics.
Over the course of six episodes, the candidates will embark on a test campaign and find out their potential with the help of politicians including Alastair Campbell, former UK government spokesman, and Saida Varsity, a member of the UK House of Lords.
Campbell, Tony Blair's former press officer, and Baroness Varsity, former co-chair of the Conservative Party, will set the candidates a series of prime ministerial-style tasks designed to test their leadership skills, resilience and integrity, according to a report in The Independent.
During the competition, candidates will face the pressures, challenges and responsibilities of the position of power. From handling diplomatic crises to avoiding domestic mistakes, every move will be scrutinised by Baroness Varsity, Campbell and the media.
"To be honest politics is a bit of a mess at the moment and I hope that not only will some genuine political talent emerge from the show, but that the watching public will be inspired to get more involved in politics and engage properly," said Alastair Campbell."
