Ooooh!

Ban rush hour, rat running, trucks using unclassified village roads and force people to use electric public transport.

A three strikes and you're locked up for good policy for criminals.

Ban opposition parties :twisted:

Impose a legal limit to how much alcohol you can buy while on a night out & limit the opening hours of such places.

Ban corn and maize as minor ingredients as well as forcing all food companies to make versions of their products that are allergy free.

This will not do... Contrary to claims made by one infamous Mr. Lewis, it is in fact *not* hip to be square…

Put in logical economic policies, and try to explain to people how they work instead of the usual games politicians play.

I think I should choose something more conservative.

I would run the country like Denmark or New Zealand and the actual successful countries where they look after their sick and needy.

Replace the income and corporate income tax with either an apportionment on state usage or create a transaction tax built into a strong security crypto currency back by commodities, introduce a stable monetary policy, introduce super annuation and phase out SSN, look into turning Medicare and Medicaid into a type of medical annuity (not sure if possible but annuities seem like they would streamline administration of them), abolish the HMO act, decriminalize all drugs, limit copyrights and patents, create a sovereign wealth fund, create a fund to pay down the debt (separately from the sovereign wealth fund if possible), repeal the NFA and GCA (as well as the Hughes Amendment), implement a Kaizen plan to reduce government spending at least 15% without reducing the quality of services, reform the military and try to make it more nimble and waste less money, implement a national directive to implement pollution rights in every county tied to every piece of land (localized cap and trade), create a council of municipalities to see what local governments are facing and how we could help, decriminalize grey market drug imports, tax credits for cooperatives, create enterprise zones, sue China for negligence, create a $100 billion dollar fund over 5 years to encourage private solutions to public problems, instead of trying to ban abortion encourage adoption of unexpected children up to a certain number of children per woman, create a framework for experimental "micronations" and other alternative forms of governance, mandate arbitration or mediation prior to taking non-criminal cases to court, create super visas with no restrictions for all practical purposes all rights of citizens except welfare and voting, look into ways to encourage light rail (what ever is least expensive), light infrastructure bill including burying all electrical lines under ground, replace SSN cards either with a cryptographic id or create a private sector alternative, deregulate telecom, give more visas to doctors, more scrutiny for the FDA, consolidate government agencies if there is overlap (like SEC and financial crimes division at the Justice Department), tax credits for home defense (weapons, cameras, alarms, and anything else that keeps people safe),and pass criminal justice reform package. I guess that is my wish list, but realize I may not be able to pass all these. :D
