The Beginning: In a daring twist, the famous Hyde Park Cactus is elected to lead the British government. A great first that promises to be sharp!
England is in shock. In a crazy and unexpected electoral victory, a 176-year-old cactus nestled in the heart of the famous Hyde Park in London has been elected Prime Minister by popular decision. The British population, tired of the human nature of its leaders, has appealed to nature itself.
Affectionately nicknamed “Boss” by passers-by, the cactus has become over the years a symbol of resilience and a challenge to the established norms. With an unprecedented score of 87% of the votes, Boss won the Prime Minister’s seat, leaving his political opponents in a disconcerting disappointment.
“It’s a bright day for our nation! Our great Boss has shown unparalleled endurance and resilience, elements our government greatly needs. There is no doubt that his spiny disposition will add spice to our political discussions!” joked Archibald Kensington, a fervent supporter of Boss and owner of a local tea shop chain.
However, Boss’s victory was also hailed by environmentalists who see it as “a strong signal sent by British citizens in favor of nature”. A green wave that further complicates the political cards of perfidious Albion.
Even though no comment has been made public by the cactus itself (nature obliges), the British remain optimistic about the future of their country under the regime of this new authentic, rooted, and above all… very patient Prime Minister!
So, stroke of genius or folly? Only the future will tell us. One thing is certain, this news might inspire some of our European neighbors. Nothing says that a potted plant could not run for the French presidential election in 2022. Who knows?
