Beckhams preferred to Brown in Downing St

A new survey has revealed that the majority of Britons would rather David and Victoria Beckham lead the country than Gordon Brown.

Current TV commissioned a survey to question more than 2,000 people on Britishness, and the results showed that the Beckhams were a more acceptable choice of Downing Street residents than Gordon Brown.

Jade Goody topped the list to find the worst people to run the country with 23%, while Amy Winehouse (16%) and Kerry Katona (14%) ranked second and third. Prime Minister Gordon Brown (11%) was fourth in the list.

Peter Andre and Katie Price received 9% of the votes while 6% felt the Beckhams would be the worst leaders of the UK.

The survey also revealed that 25% of Brits would rather watch the Hollyoaks omnibus on Sundays than carry out traditional past-times such as playing board games and eating afternoon tea.
