What law would you pass if you were Prime Minister for a day?

  1. I know technically you couldn't but what one law do you think the country REALLY needs?
    Personally I'd go for a driving retest every 10 years, not like the 1st but a competency test in real world driving.

    That's a real tough one without thinking up of stupid ideas... Or those that don't offend anyone, so I'm just going to vote (like) yours.

    Thinking about it a bit harder and not quite a law but would abolish child benefit or whatever its called.

    And before any one bashes me for it I'm in receipt of said benefit for 2 kids.

    But then thinking about it again, there goes my kids weekly pocket money so maybe not ;)
     
  3. Nooo not thinking big enough....

    All MP's to have performance related pay (independantly assessed) based on the promises they keep.
    If you lied and didn't keep your political promises you either get sacked instantly or finances are seized and given to charity! That will focus their minds!!

    Or
    If you run a bank and it goes pop or you are found to be fraudulent, the director and his top level staff have their assets seized and given to charity or repay any debts the bank has oh and thrown into prison for good measure.

    I could go on....

    I am a good Christian btw!:hattip:

    I'd turn all companies that provide essentials like heating and water strictly not for profit co-operatives, same for the private entities within the NHS.

    I'd reform the tax laws to stop the same person being a director of 15 companies that all do the same thing, each buying and selling from the other so that dividends are hidden across them all.
     
  6. But would you make it compulsory for all MPs to vote in Parliament rather than abstain because it goes against their party politics?

    no
     
  8. I've changed my mind, I'd go for compulsory sterilisation of anyone who watches Jeremy Kyle or listens to that full weight count Jeremy Vine.

    I'd ban that too, it's there pretending to be for the poor but really a tax break for the well off, I got it while earning £100K.
     
  10. Scrap the NHS ,it`s a black hole for money and maybe your average joe will think first about having 10 pints and attempting to leapfrog a post box....:beer:

    But what would life be if you didn't know someone would sew your goolies back on after an unfortunate event such as you describe?

    At point of delivery, the NHS is world class - what's crippling it is a massive layer of administration so that we can measure things and processes thought up by arseholes that like measuring things.

    There is NO better system in the world that provides services with equity.

    Sadly - the cost savings we make in other community areas mean the NHS takes the load, a load it was never designed to take.

  14. I'd ban all religion as it's all nonsense.
     
  15. If it was so great, every country would adopt the system.....;)
     
  16. Amen to that.
     
  17. I'd outlaw currency speculation...it truly is the root of all evil
