Fantasy coalition cabinet – your choices

With zero binding commitment on any future prime minister, we asked today who you would like to see in a fantasy coalition cabinet . More than 2,000 of you have joined in and these are the results so far. Basically, it's great news for David Miliband . He leads both the voting to be prime minister (29% to David Cameron's 26%) and foreign secretary (48% to William Hague's 30%). Of the other prime ministerial candidates we offered you, Nick Clegg is on 21%, Gordon Brown 17% and Harriet Harman 8%. Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat, is third-placed on 22% as foreign secretary. The people's choice as chancellor of the exchequer is – no surprises – Vince Cable on 67%. Alistair Darling is on 19% and the Conservative shadow business secretary Ken Clarke beating the shadow chancellor George Osborne 8%-6%. In the remaining great office of state, Nick Clegg beats Alan Johnson 46%-34% to be home secretary (the Conservative Chris Grayling gets 5%, the actual Lib Dem in that position, Chris Huhne, 15%). So this is how the cabinet, as chosen by a self-selecting and impromptu panel of readers, would look. Prime minister: David Miliband (Lab) Chancellor: Vince Cable (Lib Dem) Home secretary: Nick Clegg (Lib Dem) Foreign secretary: David Miliband (Lab) Defence secretary: Liam Fox (Con - 38%) Energy and climate change secretary: Caroline Lucas (Green - 42%) Justice secretary: Jack Straw (Lab - 62%) Business secretary: Lord Mandelson (Lab - 45%; Ken Clarke 29%) Culture secretary: Ben Bradshaw (Lab - 58%) Work and pensions secretary: Yvette Cooper (Lab 44%) Schools secretary: Ed Balls (Lab - 47%; Michael Gove 18%) Transport secretary: Lord Adonis (Lab - 55%) Due to an oversight, we did not give you the opportunity to vote for John Denham as communities and local government secretary – instead putting Cooper up for the job. She came top with 44% so joins Miliband with two cabinet jobs in this hybrid Lab-Lib-Green fantasy cabinet with one Tory. For the full results at the time of writing, see this PDF .
