If you were handed the keys to Whitehall for 24 hours, which brief would you actually want? Rank these government departments by how much you'd relish the challenge.
Put the items in your preferred order.
HM Treasury
Set the tax rates, sign off the Budget, and decide where every pound goes. Power without limit, but blame guaranteed.
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
Jet between summits, shape diplomacy, and represent the UK abroad. Glamorous in theory, exhausting in practice.
Department of Health and Social Care
Take charge of the country's most loved and most criticised institution. One day to make a dent in waiting lists.
Home Office
Arguably the toughest brief in government, with immigration and crime dominating every headline. Few escape unscathed.
Department for Education
Decide the future of classrooms, exams and tuition fees. The decisions you make today shape a generation tomorrow.
