Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet

AGENDA:

Devising a comprehensive strategy to combat terrorism within the United Kingdom.

ABOUT COMMITTEE:

Just when the clock was about to strike 02:54, out went the bomb at Brighton’s Grand Hotel on the night of October 12th, 1984. Fire, smoke, and ashes veiled everyone’s vision. The scathing silence appeared deafening in comparison to the violence that had just unfolded. The attempt at reducing the nation's resolve to smithereens seemed more significant than the destruction of the immediate setting. Though physically injured, Margaret Thatcher’s Cabinet emerges with a sombre yet steady resolve from the ruins of this terrorising bombing to lead the nation to echelons of hope and glory.

This momentous moment, to be forever etched in history, raises the question of whether the effect of this ticking time bomb will weaken the very foundation of the United Kingdom or serve as a catalyst, leading the nation into the realms of growth and prosperity. The fragile yet resolute future of the country lies in your able hands. Will the Cabinet brave this conspiring tempest or surrender to the very winds of chaos? The choice is yours.

It’s often said that fortune favours the bold, whether Parth Singhania is bold or not is a question to be answered another day. Nonetheless, a series of fortunate mishaps certainly seem to have brought Parth exactly where he needs to be, serving at X-MUN 2024 as the Deputy SecretaryGeneral. However it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for him, for better or for worse he often finds himself at the tennis court at midnight try-harding his power shots. As luck would have it he naturally also supports both Tottenham and RCB (fortune can’t always favour him, alas). Sometimes a really formidable crisis delegate, his skills also transfer to business events - making him CEO at X-Commercia (Business Club). Being the Convener of X-Uberance ‘24, if he mentions his achievements we’re here to tell you, he has walked a long and arduous path to get to where he is today. A little about his personality - we like to believe it's a mixture of every character he’s ever seen on TV, but don’t worry he only takes the best parts (or so his delegates would be led to believe). Jokes aside, an incredibly resourceful and intelligent individual, Parth is an invaluable member of the Secretariat and it wouldn’t have been possible for us to get this far without him (No, really he manages all the social media accounts).

Kushal Taparia

Chairperson

Known by many for his questionable fashion sense (wearing a watermelon-colored outfit in every MUN he attends) and his exceptional business acumen, Kushal Taparia makes his return to X-MUN. Commonly referred to as 'Taps' by his juniors (for reasons even we don't know yet), he never fails to take time out to help and unsuccessfully bully them. Being an RCB fan, Kushal's days are split between questioning his choices in teams and worrying about which college he'll get into. Beware, don't even think about mentioning this year's FA Cup finals in front of him (please do) because his inner 'glory hunter' might come to get you (Brownie points for whoever mentions it- the Secretariat) Despite spending most of X-MUN'22 pondering about his life choices that got him there, Kushal now finds himself as the Chairperson of the Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet at X-MUN 2024.

CHAIRPERSONS' ADDRESS:

Greetings Delegates,

For the next few days, you will not be simply representing the Tories who were in power in 1984. Imagine yourself managing Spurs trying to win a trophy- that’s who you are now; that’s the level of challenges that await you in this Committee. We have planned a Committee for you which will be like watching Nadal play this season or watching RCB play any season- you’ll be entertained but your heart beat will die out any moment (you also might end up crying).

In all seriousness, our Committee will be special than any other committee you’ve seen in this circuit, for every delegate, even the Chairperson, literally survived a bomb attack less than 24 hours ago. As the debris settles at the Grand Hotel in Brighton and blood stains the walls as well as the Marks & Spencers attires, the IRA stains the integrity of the United Kingdom. The IRA has been our Pat Cummins, mercilessly destroying everyone in their path like a madman. However, just like Pat Cummins, they too shall be silenced.

You delegates have a mission. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (except you don’t have a choice) is not to repeat history, but to breathe life into it. In this Committee, you have been empowered with control over the affairs of the United Kingdom. These powers and their abilities are only limited by your imaginations (and your portfolio’s mandates, and logic, and other stuff). The Executive Board is looking for a delegate who won’t be the best delegate based on his award, but the best delegate based on his ability; someone who utilizes the power he has been given in his portfolio to come up with flawless solutions, makes the most eloquent speeches and writes the most creative communiques (just don’t dissolve the United Kingdom, unless the Committee calls for it).

So, let’s hit the ground running. Flood our inboxes with your ingenious plans and let’s see if Thomas Shelby knew what he was talking about.

Delegates, the floor is now yours.
