No wonder there are so many candidates, it's the best job in the world!
Let's see:
You get a grace and favour mansion
You get to go on any jolly you like
You get to shag the staff
You haven't got to achieve anything
It doesn't matter if you feck up everything
You get an important-sounding title
You are accountable to nobody
And for all that you get a massive ministerial salary and equivalent state pension

Have I missed anything from the job description?
