HEADLINE 5 reasons Daenerys Targaryen is the best person to run post-Brexit Britain SUMMARY Could the Mother of Dragons be the one to lead the country? BODY
Our political system is in chaos right now. The bloodbath in Westeros doesn’t look quite so bad by comparison.
With uncertainty looming over who will lead Britain in this post-Brexit world, maybe we should be looking towards the Narrow Sea for some strong leadership from the first of her name.
1. She appoints the right people

Tyrion as hand of the Queen? Slam dunk. She listens to his sage advice, especially when it comes to not killing people.
2. She knows the importance of a well-placed alliance

That meeting with Yara Greyjoy had fans spiralling into a full-on shipping frenzy. Now Yara has Daenerys’ support in her claim to the Salt Throne and Yara has the Greyjoy’s ships. Win win.
3. She has no time for romantic distractions
(Home Box Office)
She might be the mother of dragons but she still likes someone to keep her warm at night. But, she knows that it just won’t do to have loyal Daario at her side when she storms into King’s Landing so she made him stay behind in Meereen.
4. She has some serious gravitas, unlike some people

This one speaks for itself.
5. She has the firepower

You really shouldn’t pick a fight with this lot, should you Cersei?
Watch out, dragons could soon be flying over Westminster.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
