I see your point. Maybe price-caps are not the answer, but those who do the life-saving jobs most certainly need higher pay. I think that's my more pressing concern, the ratio between the entertainers pay (sports, films, TV) and those who keep the country running (doctors, nurses, firemen/women, teachers, police (assuming they do their frigging jobs)). It needs to be fairer.thiosk said:

Kick out all of the politicians who crawled back on the circuit after the Soviet downfall. The rats..
I'd probably get assassinated.

I like the Reality TV part. Never met your ex-wife though (I could have went there but decided not to (something tells me I wouldn't want to if a furnace is where she belongs)).
Why the Mexicans? I know that there are a lot of immigrants, but I'd have thought deportation would be the kinder option unless you have a really strong vendetta against them.
Judging from most replies I think assassination would be the no.1 world concern by the end of the month.samaritan.squirrel said:
If I was elected leader of the UK.. I would there would be no more pollution, no more car exhausts, or ocean dumpage. From now on, we will travel in tubes,
Get the scientists working on the tube technology, immediately. Chop, chop, let's go.
but in reality I would abolish faith schools, give more money to health education schemes aimed at early age rather than throw it at the nhs and hope all our problems go away if we give doctors moar money..

Top of my manifesto would be the elimination of vanity:
-beauticians and make up artists would be be outlawed and ruthlessly supressed.. those who repent their ways will be put to work as assistant nurses in burn units or as home helpers for amputees to atone for what they've done to us.
-music videos will be abolished... radio was fit for the purpose anyway.. why do musicians even need faces?.. (of course strict sancions will be placed on the manufacture and usage of pop starlets... they can be used for power or fuel.. but must never EVER be psychologically weaponized, lest they fall into terrorist hands!!.)
- anyone who works in the following industries shall be imprisoned on manhattan island for the rest of their natural lives:
-fashion
-cosmetics (esp. surgery)
-porn
-marketing
-the words: "*cough* jealous" shall be erased from the english language.
-and finally... through an ingenius marriage of black magic and science... in my ideal world the population would be gifted with a little sybiote creature that makes hideous regenerating tentacles sprout from their face..
to clarify: I'm pretty damned sick of everyone expending so much of their time and money trying to be pretty.. i think i would prefer to live in a country where tits, ass, motorbikes and overpriced handbags are not the commodities people associate with happiness.
call me reactionary.. but you did ask, so theres an honest answerP

Well, being a US President is a lot harder than it looks, I'm sure.Machines Are Us said:
But one of my laws would be to ban censorships, in all forms of entertainment.
Porn can stay Porn, but games can have sexier romance scenes (whether it be sex or just better kisses).
Laws of common sense (my view of it anyway) (I'm from the UK)
1. All reality TV will be banned and illegal, and grants give to companies that can make science interesting
2. If you don't have a job and claim benefits and you could easily work either conscription or work in the massive recycling plants I'll be setting up
3. Copy America's three-strikes policies on crime, three crimes and you'll be going to prison (won't go the America route with life imprisionment I don't think) the time would be based on the nature of the offence, with no chance of shortened sentences
4. Labour so prisoners can still contribute to society
5. Using a knife in an offensive manner or threatening is three strikes
6.Outlaw BNP and any organised fascist movement
There are more but these would be what I'd do on the first day

bump cause I like this thread, besides, I've decided on new stuff.
Okay, I'm from USA, just saying that before I forget.
First off, I'm getting rid of all the organizations that for all intents and purposes are redundant. The Department of Homeland Security will be merged into the NSA, both will stay in their respective buildings until construction of a new building that will house employees of the new and improved NSA can be completed.
Also, educational curriculum will be nationalized instead of being a state-by-state affair. No more rubbish about sixty billion years of Texas history at the exclusion more productive subjects. Every state will be granted one year in which to teach their state's history, ONE! Everybody will learn world history, and US history in general, and whatever else there's time for. All textbooks will be approved by a board of educational directors, meaning no more of that "War of Northern Aggression" idiocy that they teach in some Southern states. Okay, slave-owning is bad, it doesn't make the North into assholes for wanting to stop it.
Immigrants will be settled in the Midwest, there will be no argument. The Midwest is bloody lifeless and could use an infusion of fresh workers.
The corruption and shenanigans of various lobbies in Congress (Tobacco, Big Insurance, oil, etc.) will no longer be swept under the rug. An independent watchdog agency will be established to make sure that the lobbyists do not step out of line. Anyone found associating with these lobbies for funding larger than a couple thousand dollars will be removed from office and replaced by someone who can get results without pushing a lobbyist agenda.
Gay marriage, abortion, and euthanasia will all be legalized nationwide. I'm tired of waiting around for the red states to get into the modern era. It is not up to these people about the rights of others.
A list of things that officials cannot be removed from office for will be added to the list of things that they can be removed from office for; topping this list will be having an affair outside of your marriage. It is high time that we Americans learned to stop nosing into the personal affairs (no pun intended) of politicians and learned to impeach for the right reasons rather than some guy committing some minor sexual peccadillo.
Censorship of media will be banned, the reason American youth culture is as retarded as it is now is because there's a climate of prohibition against them. Not showing sex on TV does not make it any less real. Hiding children from the world is wrong, and ultimately can screw up an entire generation of people.
Immense taxes will be levied against cigarettes, while the drinking age will be abolished. If a child is dumb enough to get boozed up at age 12, he can learn that lesson the hard way. Rampant underage drinking can be solved if you convince them that it's not a taboo to do so. Smoking zones will also be tightly regulated so that I don't have to pass by one and essentially light up a few myself.
No more of this "Made in China" crap, America is getting back on its feet and getting rid of any nation holding its economic leash. Yes I know we love our bargains, and that's too damn bad because for one thing, it's probably made by an underpaid 12 year-old in China, and two, we're never going to be a world power if every action we make is dictated by a Chinese overlord that can make us fall into line with even a mention of the word "embargo."
No more "serve out 4 decades before execution" when you get sentenced to death, you get sentenced to death. Which BTW will be in every state. Capital crimes will remain the same, though with slightly lessened restrictions, special circumstances my ass.
