Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Soapbox time!
Ok, not really!
Fooled ya! It really is soapbox time! Ahem...
To cut straight to the point, this is (partially) what I'd do in the event of me becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (which is where I live).
First, I'd nationalise all the utilities services (Electricity, Water, Waste Disposal, Gas, etc) and I'd nationalise British Airways too. Then, I'd nationalise all the bus and train companies too. Other nationalisation projects will include the rest of the Post Office/Royal Mail; British Petroleum; all the art gallieries and museums and nearly everything else that Mrs Thatcher privatised. Also I'd repeal the Blashpemy law, repeal various other pieces of legaslation that infringe on freedom of expression and maybe even enact legislation banning far-right polictical groups...nah! Keep your friends close but your enemies closer! I'd also get the NHS and education system back up on their feet and also abolish University Tuition fees. Maybe I'll even get rid of faith schools too (I think they're unethical- indoctrinating young people to follow Religion A or Faith D. Makes me sick that does!), and enact laws that protect homosexuals (always controversial). Plus I'd ban people wishing to get others to convert to their religion from knocking on other people's doors for that reason. Another thing, I'd even reduce burglars' rights in other people's homes- you break in, expect the owners to inflict pain upon your person! Also I'd ban the Church (and other religious organisations) from interfering with or in the government and I'd declare the state athiest by law; but freedom of (and from) religion still exists. I'd even increase workers' rights further and set a minimum wage up for the under-18s too. Plus I'd enact many more socialist policies to form a marginal economy for this country (not capitalist, not communist, but more of inbetween). Non essentials and food can still be distributed through private retailers, but bottled water will be heavily restricted. To fund this I'd have to raise taxes too (not always popular, but necessary at times). For income tax, the minimum rate would be upped to 30% whilst the maximum (for the rich) would be upped to 55%. If the rich complain about the higher taxes I'll say: "Stop being so God-damned selfish! You can afford it! Plus, don't take out from society without putting something in too!". Meanwhile, if the poor do it I'd say: "But it helps to fund the hospitals for if you're ill, and the schools for your children. Remember, think long term- play the Long Game (not referring to the Doctor Who episode featuring Christopher Eccleston of course)."
So there you have it, a condense version of my election manifesto. And my party? I think might called it the People's Socialist Worker's Party (PSWP), if one doesn't already exist of course.
Finally, this is my opinion, if you have a problem with it, I don't want to know!
