Turns out Ghandi has re-incarnated in the form of Jared Guatama, England's first East Indian Prime Minister. Met with much celebration, people cheered the progress England has made over the last century, from colonizer of India to elector of its liberator to its highest governmental post. Guatama credits much of his success, and his election to this high office, to the work of the reincarnation of 20th century's business public relations wizard Edward Bernays, whom Guatama had appointed as his campaign manager.

Critics of Prime Minister Guatama note his lack of fashion, still sporting his former life's hair-do, the shaven head, with adversaries saying the hair-style had come back in the 90s but lost favor during the current millennium. In addition, many critics charge and speculate that the new leader is indeed Hindu, which makes them generally suspicious, though they favor him over the new immigration trends coming from Muslim nations. Though, it seems to escape them that when you invade a country, they invade you back, in some form or another.

Champions of the new leader are certain he is the reincarnation of Mahatma Ghandi, in spite of the fact that Mr. Guatama has already invaded several powerless countries, not so much following his former life's commitment to non-violence. In addition, as the country takes a nose-dive into economic dire straits, with people losing their jobs, losing unemployment benefits, moving into make-shift tent cities, and crowding charity offices in search of food, the Prime Minister has been bailing out banks, using advisers from Wall Street, and issuing executive orders to curb the use of kitchen utensils as weaponry. Some have wondered why emergency measures were not taken when the streets filled with homeless families and the food banks were swarmed.
Guatama has answered his critics, asserting, "You've got to make me do what you want me to do. The world is different now. My soul left the body of that old hero you followed close to a century ago; I might have gotten elected on his coat tails, but I can't be expected to emulate him in the current circumstances".
Currently the Prime Minister is working on a budget to ensure his wife can get her hair done prior to important political and diplomatic functions.
