And yes, I do think I ought to run the country, but I promise to be one of those ineffectual tyrants who spends all their time at sumptuous banquets bothering the serving wenches. Nobody would even know I was there.
Surely therefore you don’t actually want to run the country – you actually just want to spend your life at sumptuous banquets bothering the serving wenches. Or is this actually an elaborate deception and in fact you wouldn’t be spending all your time doing that and instead trying to manipulate reality to your every whim?
Good point. Actually, give me the banquets, the wenches, and a bloke who comes in every so often and asks whether or not we should declare war on Finland, and I wouldn't need any actual power at all.

I call head Wenching powers.
So, you know...where you are in charge of the country, I said it first. I want to sit on the Squidly knee!
I would never dream of having any other head wench but you.
