Chancellor of Exchequer7
Muggle Britain
Glossary (as provided by the only member of the Daily Prophet staff who took Muggle Studies at school - he did not get an OWL in the subject, however)
1. Voting is something Muggles do to select their leader, even though it makes them feel quite frustrated and cross.
2. Tories are a party of people who are enormously fond of the American female name "Tori". Their current leader is Tori Thatcher.
3. Labour is a party for those people who are working or have given birth, or both. Hence, labour.
4. Prime Minister is the non-magical minister in charge. Once a week he answers questions, but he always finds it very annoying, so instead he exchanges insults with the Leader of the Opposition. Witnesses claim this can get almost as violent as most Quidditch matches.
5. Tony Blair has no relation to Barry "Bludgeon" Blair of Falmouth Falcons, famous for his extraordinarily brutal playing style.
6. MP means Member of Parliament. Members of Parliament will discuss this, and occasionally wrestle. They are divided into Commons, named after the use of common words, such as Speaker, who is the person who doesn't speak very much when parliament is in session. Muggles are very proud of their system of government, Merlin knows why.
7. Chancellor of Exchequer is somebody who looks after the Prime Minister's pocket money. Strangely enough, all money in Muggle Britain is Prime Minister's pocket money, therefore making the Chancellor's position rather powerful because Muggles value money above all else, except maybe "footsieball", which is a sport they're also very fond of.
If You Are Interested in Muggles, Consider Buying "Muggles: A List of Facts We're Pretty Sure Are True!" by our editor Barnabas Cuffe, proof-read by Mrs Fiona Gwoggpot, who once encountered a Muggle on one of her daily walks around Puddlemere! Only 2 Galleons 3 Sickles for the full 200-page volume!
Author notes - I love the other fill but I'd already begun writing this when it was posted, and it's a world removed from the other fill so I hope it's fine. I think wizard!Gordon is my personal canon now.

I LOVE THIS FILL
I LOVE GORDON BROWN <3333333
The Muggle Prime Minister remains blissfully ignorant, and considering his character, I consider this for the best.
Bwahahahahaha XD
The footnotes are absolutely spot on, "Muggles: A List of Facts We're Pretty Sure Are True" sounds exactly like the sort of thing you'd find in a Harry Potter book.
I'm the authoranon of the other fill, and I fully support the writing of more Harry Potter-related crossovers :D
