Do the decisions seem illogical to you because you don't have all the facts.

Its very easy to say I can build a house. When all you think thats involved is stacking bricks on top of each other.

Isn't that half the problem with the government and the fact they do not inform the public on their decisions.
Any wonder how or why we have been waging war on the middle east for the last 10 or more years, cause frankly I haven't seen any good reason.

Is there any clarity on why people in the banks who are responsible for stealing or losing millions of public money, are not in prison?
Frankly not being given the facts is half the problem.

Add road tax to petrol prices...

I feel those who use the roads more should pay more than those who don't... plus the admin for collecting road tax I bet is huge.

Increase the threshold for inheritence tax...

Policy 3

Removal of religion from state and government.
Removal of all questions on religious stance on all forms.
Removal of religious school, and RE from schools.
Removal any decision based on religious grounds.

Policy 4

Abolishment of TV license
Immediate firing of all Radio 1 DJ's

What's your policy on how many fruit and veg a day? Currently it's 5 but that number varies depending what country you're in so it seems to me to have no real significance than trying to get people to eat more fruit and veg which is a good thing.

Also can you make Starbursts count towards that as when they were on off for £1 a big share bag, share my arse, I ate enough for about 2 years at 5 a day.

Nice. One of the things I'd love to see is total separation of church and state.

Mate, I really don't think he has the same political leanings as you do...

Schools to create a new lesson called LS. Life skills, children will be taught the basics about nutrition, safety, exercise, sexual health, social skills, and money.
I'm not well versed on this particular subject of how much veg, I'm leaning towards 2/3rds veg to meat ratio, with less sugar being top of the list.

Someone has to give him something to think about, before he gets carried away...

It seems based in a logical world, so it would get consideration. The problem I see is that, smaller vehicles probably cause less damage, but then I suppose larger vehicles use more petrol.

I would also bring back all the old polytechnics that were made into Universities. Bring back apprenticeships.

Also going forward anyone applying to Universities to study photography, hairdressing or any other such degree should be swiftly removed from the gene pool.

I'll field this one.

As the Minister for Beer, hops & barley are now added to the fruit and veg category. Also as the Minister for Hookers, oats are now added as well.

Thank you.

only about 0.1% of the population are that pedantic.

I'd suggest sir, that the figure on general pedantry is closer to 5%

Is he, no idea.
I won't remove any forms of education, but like I said will subsidise any that are proactive in the reform I need to make the country better and more profitable.

There is a bigger picture at play. Univiersities will pick the people they want to come to their Univiersities based on previous exam results.

People who go to Universities to study meaningful degrees (Maths, Science, Medicine, Law, Engineering, etc.) would do so for free. As long as they pass.

I would much rather fund fully the best and brightest to better our country, than help subsidise the masses for a 3 year jolly up in photography, hairdressing and tourism.

Right wing maybe... Loon.. definitely.

FuriousGeorge · 27 Jan 2015 at 13:22

You'd best let Cameron know about your party so he can demand you are included in the debates else he wont take part.

Fraid I agree with that. I did an art course. It was an incredible waste of time.

After an exhaustive selection & interview process I've decided to name Cosimo my "Deputy Minister for Sending Them All Back", " Deputy Minister for Corporate Bribery" & "Deputy Minister for Beer and Hookers"

Thank you.
