What should PM Broon's top 5 priorities be?
For me:
1. Leave Iraq within 2 years
2. New transport network for London
3. Overhaul Heathrow airport
4. get serious about anti-social behaviour
from pre-school onwards - bring in parent classes, anti litter campaigns, the lot
5. try and win something at football.

2) Make sure that he does the above as soon as poss
3) Restore some civil liberties
4) Begin phased withdrawal from Iraq
5) Shut his mouth when he's not speaking instead of leaving it hanging open

2) Raise the taxation of motor vehicles to the level where it actually covers the cost of the problems it causes.
3) Get rid of the majority of targets (especially for health and education) and hence the management required to achieve said targets.
4) More enforcement on the roads, both speed cameras, ANPR, traffic light cameras and Police themselves.
5) Stop making it so easy for people to kill on the roads and get away with it (decent, justifiable sentencing).
6) Turn the Labour Party back into the old Left wing one we knew and loved (kind of), thus allowing the Conservatives to return to their traditional Right wing home so we actually get a choice when it comes round to elections!
He should then recognise the moral and political bankruptcy of any involvement in Labour and immediately resign.
He should then urge working people to take control of their own workplaces, and tell them to elect recallable delegates to a national council, which can oversee all future economic and political developments.
He should nationalise all the major conurbations, financial and industrial, and agricultural, placing them under the control of the workforce via the above national council.
He should issue all cyclists with a rohloff equipped bicycle.
He should place Gaz, Nick, 'Monkey, and all the other rationalists in charge of transport and environment policy.
He should allow me to deal with the Cycling + counter revolutionary elements.. i will ensure they are handled gently and treated with all appropriate fairness on their way to the 'holiday camp'..

I can't begin to imagine how Cherie has done it.

2) Cycle (with armed coppers on bikes too) to show real commitment to global (un) warming.
3) Stop trying to micromanage government agencies
4) Drop the ID card
5) Stop being the US poodle
I reckon those have the same chance of being done as Redcog's ideas
He should issue all cyclists with a rohloff equipped bicycle.

Jibi, you will need to raise the issue of dual rohloff ownership at the next bicycle planning plenary.

Too late. The Phoenix group have mounted a heavily leveraged private equity buyout of Rohloff. They intend to sack all the workers, transfer production to China, slash production costs and market them in the UK as the Leyland Roll-off.

Naturally, they will send an immediate delegation to discuss the matter with the Chinese comrades. They shouldn't be omitted from the thrust towards world democratic control of the means of production.

Get education right and reduce criminality and you solve a huge amount of the Nation's problems and costs.

2. Have one national exam board putting out O and A levels at the old high standards and then leave the schools to sort out how they will teach to those levels.
3. Reintroduce student grants for the ablest, say 10% of university applicants and link them to subjects so that you could never get a grant to do time wasting stuff like sociology or meejah studies.
4. Put rail tracks on the slow lanes of motorways so that HGVs travel on flatbeds as in the channel tunnel thus reducing pollution, repair work etc.
5. 50% of all urban roads to be closed to motor vehicles except local residents. (Would probably cause chaos but it would at least concentrate a few minds.)
2. Re-assess training and education. This will re-establish the 'O' and 'A' level standards as they were established and abandon 50% university entrance targets if the economy and workplace simply doesn't support it.
3. Define our relationship with the EU and then call a vote or general election on the issue.
4. A commitment to move more state institutions out of London and the South East. The continuation of the BBC license should be conditional on the move of at least 80% of the organization from London.
5. Cycling (well, had to be). All new arterial roads i.e. those feeding cities from suburbs, should have 2.5m (min) wide cycle lanes seperated from the main road by at least a 1m verge and an armco barrier. where possible this should also be retro-fitted to existing arterial roads and trunk routes between population centres. In my opinion this is really what's holding cycle commuting back, suburbs and city centres are generally easy to get around, the bits between are not. The goal should be that cycling becomes a pratical and safe means to commute for everyone within 10km of city and town centres and larger schools. There should be no compulsion to cycle lanes and the right of the road should be explicitly re-affirmed in the highway code, the driving test and if necessary law. Existing cycle routes less than 1.5m or shared use less than 2.5m should be phased out altogether.

2) Iraq: don't leave straight away, but if we stay, demand money from America for help with what is quite frankly <i>their</i> war, and <i>their</i> problem.
3) Build more prisons to house errant chavs, preferably in the middle of the sea, make more chav-type offences imprisonable, and make sentences ALWAYS be served in full - none of this 'out early for good behaviour' nonsense
4) Put more research into nuclear fusion
5) Make moves towards abolishing the party whip system in order that policy votes are in the interests of the constituents rather than in the interests of making the party as a whole look good.
<font size="1">6) Evaporators?</font id="size1">
1) Get elected
2) Distance himself from Blair & associated Spin (a Spin paradox?)
3) Distance himself from Bush
4) Distance himself from been Scottish (and therefore anti-English)
5) Blame others (usually Blair) for anything messy eg Iraq or the tax burden - what was his last job again?
I will vote for anybody rather than Brown, except the BNP.
