So why does England have the coolest government position name ever?

Shadow Chancellor. That sounds like something right out of Star Wars who reports directly to the emperor.

Seriously, why can't more countries have cool positional titles like this? Shadow Chancellor is now easily the best thing ever.

"Prime Minister, Cameron. I noticed your hold on Scotland did not go as our Queen as foreseen it. There are still uprisings."

'Forgive me, Shadow Chancellor, it won't happen again!'

"Good... I hope things will play out smoothly, For your sake." and he walks away

*cue slow theme of Imperial March*

I knew this thread would be about the shadow chancellor
There's also the Shadow Leader of the House of Lords

When I first moved here and got a bit more interested in the news, hearing about the shadow cabinet made the government sound a bit ominous.

Then I found out they do relatively little, and was dissapointed.

We also have C.O.B.R.A. Which is an abbreviation for something really lame.
