Off the top of my head,

1. Increase tax free allowance to meet a national living wage (£18,000 apr) - increases in the top rate to pay for it.

2. Government run house building scheme, on brown sites near desirable areas - with government employed builders/engineers/electricians - 100% in-house in which the workers are paid a standard wage (so no rip-off contractors, profit based private entities bleeding the system dry).

3. Strongly encourage the long term unemployed into jobs in the new house building scheme.

4. Government provided free contraception for all citizens, increased education to immigrants on the downside to having massive family's, remove the negative incentive to have a bucket-load of children for a meal-ticket - all part of a population stabilising scheme.

5. Legalisation & taxation of cannabis.

6. Start-up of a scientific committee for all policy changes (with people from all sides of the political spectrum) - in which independently verified evidence is required for policy change (IE, so you want to reduce taxes on the top earners to improve growth, I want to see the evidence which proves that this is how the real world works)

7. Removal of tax free status of all religious institutions.

8. Unless directly attacked all decisions to go-to war must go through a referendum.

9. Creation of the "National Bank of England" - a government run entity designed to aid new businesses start-up, provide a secure place for savings & loan at cost for house purchasing for the population.

All profit generated from all banking activities are put back into the public purse.

10. Nationalisation of the transportation/energy infrastructure - any entity in which the government would be liable to take over/bail out should not belong in private hands (as the tax-payer covers the risk).

Surely you should do 6 first and then only do the others if the evidence stacks up in their favour?
 
1) A much more rigorous immigration system, including those from within EU
2) Any one who can't help themselves in respect of burdenen up the NHS will have to pay for treatment. ie if you smoke and have smoking related illness you pay. You are a fat bugger and wont slim down you pay. You drink or take drugs you pay.
3) If you go to prison your human rights stop untill your sentance has been carried out also anything you own pays towards your prison time
4) Don't let Brussels having any say what so ever in what this country does.
5) Total revamp of the human rights act. People (or scum) can not use it to avoid deportation etc.
6) Young girls getting pregnant its down to her and the boy (or their parents) to pay for it. Not the welfare state.
7) If you can't afford many kids then don't have them ( couples who have 10 kids and expect the tax payer to pay for it)

1)Pull out of Afghanistan/Iraq, Cut military spending (but not personel) by half, Sell our weapons, tanks, bombers etc.

4)Tax religious buildings
5)Remove Tuition fees

Stick it 2 da man
 
Remake the National Curriculum, with a focus upon learning that is acually applicable to living in society.
Rethink crime & punishment.
Reduce defence spending and save money by withdrawing from overseas meddling.
Ban Piers Morgan, Louis Walsh, Robbie Williams and EA from these shores.
Monday becomes part of the weekend.

WHO'S WITH MEH?!
 
1) Drastically change the welfare system as it should never pay not to work, plus turning down overtime so you can get your tax credits must be banned.
2) Up the 40% tax threshold boundary. Those who work hard in this world get shafted.
3) Heavily cut the number of degrees as we don't need graduates in hairdressing with historical media studies. Not sending every man and his dog to University means people start work at 18 rather than 21, so the pension age can remain at 65.
4) Death penalty and corporal punishment. Schools need corporal punishment - Nothing says behave like a smack round the back of the head.
5) More control over banks.
6) Create more houses in order to help lower the prices for first time buyers.
7) Give the NHS more money with the money saved from benefit cuts.
8) Change the repayment threshold for degrees to 20% above £10,000 salary. It is a loan and must not be seen as optional to pay back.
9) Change the PC laws - Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.
10) Change laws on personal responsibility. If you are stupid enough to climb over a spiked fence then it is your own fault for getting hurt.

Deffo with you on number 3. :)
 
1) establish a fair single rate taxation and benefits structure where all previously untaxed money into a household is taxed at a flat rate, and offset against a universal benefit package.
2). begin a zero budget assessment of all public spending, to establish, based on democratic consensus, what the tax rate and benefit rates from (1) will need to be.
3) review and ringfence sin taxes to be proportionate only to harm caused and used to address only those costs.
4) a strict evidence based, minimal intervention lawmaking approach, and review all existing laws for necessity.

that would do me for starters.
 
abolition of cold hard cash.

only criminals need "cash" nowadays. the infrastructure is there to make all money transactions "online". this then makes all money from ill gotten means traceable.
 
1) Make use of Alternative Energy Resources/Fuels
2) Improve Education
3) Ramp up Border control - stop Illegals from coming in and kick out illegals IMMEDIATELY (not tell them to come to court because they just run away). Like Austarlia, they are winning at border control.
4) Improve Education
5) Develop and Invest money in Deprived areas.

6) Get some money management skills.

I think Fyodor had it spot on the first time round as it happens.

I agree with those Gary except for the smoking/alcohol one. There is enough tax in those 2 such that they already pay for themselves and more.

It is said that smoking and drinking cost the tax payer more in NHS use that what is made in tax on the fags and alchol
