If you were asked to become prime minister

[pogo 10]

If you were asked to become prime minister of any country, which country would you choose, and whats the first thing youd change.

 

[friedaweed]

Scotland

 

[Sirena]

I would pick a small country, like an island. And then I would probably change as little as possible because sometimes things are OK as they are.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'd be prime minister of this country. The first thing I'd do would be to put test matches back on normal telly.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Europe. I'd centralise all public service administration, social protection and revenue raising functions.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Argentina, then I'd admit the Falklands are none of our business and that we've been acting like a bunch of dicks over them for donks and we're very sorry and you won't hear another word about this sorry episode.

 

[Fez909]

China. Then I'd abolish the one child policy and make trade deals with governments around teh world. We'd accept increased immigration into their countries instead of bonds for payments for goods and services.

In a couple of years, the whole world would be Chinese.

Mwa ha ha ha ha

UK and I'd get right on the case of building a half ton of social housing before attending to a whole load of other issues related to fair wages, putting privatised industries back into public ownership and social justice for all. Then I'd pop down the pub.

easter island. I could talk mto the stone heads every day

The only thing I'd take task with you there is the amount of housing I'd build. I'd build a whole fuckton of housing.

 

[ffsear]

Ascension island.

Then find funding and make Jurassic Park a reality.

 

[Idris2002]

I'd rely on this guy for advice:

... ideally a well-secured pub lined with 6 inch thick steel doors and a unit of special forces as bodyguards.

 

[kebabking]

the UK. ban all gambling/bingo advertising, ban all payday/loanshark advertising, print £50billion to build 500,000 houses (£100,000 per build - is that about right?), double the size of the Navy, build HS2 to Carlisle, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Swansea, and then after lunch embark on the greatest duty of humanity - war with France.

 

[nessa239]

The UK

I'd do complex personality tests on everyone so they could all be fitted into jobs that suited them and so they didn't have to mix with people they didn't get on with ie all the extroverts would be put together and all the introverts left in peace

I'd have compulsory exercise sessions for everyone

I'd have days when car use was banned

I'd completely re-design mental health services as a large percentage of people working in them are not suited to the role

I'd have a lot more penalties on people for stuff like bullying

I'd set up a new penal colony and ship the worst prisoners off there to do their own thing away from us all

Another new poster had a very similar idea. Extraordinary coincidence.

 

[nessa239]

If you think about it it's pretty ludicrous that we allow the government to govern us - it's only by our consent that it happens, most are not happy with how they're doing it so why do we allow them to??

 

[8ball]

I'd have compulsory exercise sessions for everyone.

Would it be called the 'Physical Jerks'?

 

[nessa239]

Would it be called the 'Physical Jerks'?

Lol perhaps

 

[Maurice Picarda]

The penal colony idea has some merit and deserves its own thread.

Yeah, once they've been out there a century or so they tend to start popping back under their own steam bringing a lot of decent new music they've written.

I'll bet a dollar that sooner or later, you're going to run for office.

Dudley? Hull?

the South Sandwich Islands are as wretched a place as you could imagine - Dudley and Hull excluded of course.

A dollar is a lot less than a lost deposit.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

A dollar is a lot less than a lost deposit.

I didn't really want to put that much on the line.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

The UK.

• Make free, universal healthcare a constitutionally guaranteed right.
• Make attempts to remove universal free access to healthcare an act of treason punishable by life imprisonment.
• Introduce a guaranteed basic income for everyone to be paid for by more steeply-progressive income tax, and a tax on profits.
• Build houses. Build houses. Build houses.
• Free higher education for all who want it.
• Abolish ATOS, G4S, SERCO, etc etc. Throw the cunts in jail.
• Massive tax breaks for all businesses that are owned and controlled by the workforce.
• Punitive taxation for undemocratic businesses.
• All legislation relating to the workplace to be decided by a body formed of delegates elected by working people.
• To avoid 20 years of Japan-style economic stagnation, right off the private sector debt burden though a 'modern debt Jubilee'.

Probably more if I can be bothered to go on.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Burkina Faso: check out the house!

 

[el-ahrairah]

i'd do it. and whatever country i was made prime minister of would sing my praises down through the generations.

 

[nessa239]

I'd ban religious schooling

 

[hipipol]

The Isle of Wight
Then declare UDI, relay their disused railways and nationalize the buggers , adopt the Euro, declare the official language Esperanto and rename Cowes as New Brixton
All pubs shall henceforth be known as The Albert
National dress will be Lederhosen over skinny jeans, for all men, women, children AND all pets
I would then..........


Oh bugger, the OP says PM not Emperor Dictator!

Might have to rethink my position.......
