[New Judge]

1. Withdraw from the EU

2. Withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights

3. Repeal the 1998 Human Rights Act

4. Repeal the 2010 Fixed Term Parliament Act

5. Weaken, or preferably outlaw party politics in the Westminster Parliament.

(Cannot do with just 5)

6. Immediately grant independence to Scotland whether they like it or not.

7. Forge trading links and agreements with countries which are undergoing growth.

1, 2 and 3 to enable the UK to re-establish control over its own affairs and to regain the ability to decide who comes here and who can remain here.

4 - to enable the electorate, via their MPs, to kick out a badly behaving government.

5 - to force MPs to represent their constituents' interests and not just act as lobby fodder for their party (see 4)

6 - to stop Alex Salmond appearing on English TV

7 - to help us reap the benefits of vibrant growing economies and unshackle us from moribund European ones.

I've a lot more, but see how that goes for starters!

The benefit's system so those in genuine need, needn't be afraid.
Stop The gravy train for MP's. Take home pay no more than £1500 a month and no expenses.
Have a good, clean, cheap, reliable form of public transport - third world countries can do it, why can't we?
consistant sentencing and decently run prisons
retirement at 55 for those who want to

[factor-fiction]

I luvspikey: "Take home pay for MPs to be no more than £1500 a month and no expenses. "

I think the only people who'd be attracted to the role then would be those with large personal wealth who don't need the money and can afford to live in London or travel there daily, and I don't think that would be healthy.

I've only got one thing

I'd like to make people more tolerant of people that aren't like them

I'd be tempted to say that everybody should spend a week a year living and working with a familly of a completely different background

However having seen one or two of theose 'wife swap' programs I don't think that's likely to help!

[TWR]

Only 5?

[steg]

i'd get rid of england, that would be enough
