Members of the public will get chance to become Prime Minister in new show

If you think you'd be able to run the country, or have strong views on political matters, then listen up. Members of the public will get the chance to see if they have what it takes to be Prime Minister in a new Channel 4 TV show.

Make Me Prime Minister will follow 12 ordinary but opinionated Britons in a contest to see what it really takes to operate in the world of politics. Over the course of six episodes the candidates, all with views from across the political spectrum, will embark on a campaign trail and be put through their paces by political figures Alastair Campbell and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.

Campbell, Tony Blair’s former press secretary, and Baroness Warsi, former co-chairwoman of the Conservative Party and a member of the House of Lords, will set the candidates a series of prime ministerial style tasks designed to test their leadership skills, resilience and integrity.
