Just as well you insisted on benign dictatorship - goodness knows what people would have suggested bringing in if they became real tyrants.
In no particular order:
- the euro. Sterling is all over the place, up or down against Europe or the dollar; it would make sense to tie it to something, and given the volume of our trade with Europe, that should be the one.
-'life means life' sentences. I don't actually want many people locked up forever, I just want sentences that do what it says on the can.
-proper teaching of history in schools. At the moment nobody seems to learn about anything but the Nazis; and all that does is leave them feeling smug without giving them any sense of where their country came from. Proper teeching of speling would be nice too.
-80% income tax on bankers. If they don't like it, let them carry out their threat to emigrate.
-a proper functioning high-speed rail service.
-proper job for Moira Stuart.
Bans:
-bigotry. So what if half of AB has to close down. Once the Mail is off the streets people will just have to make their own entertainment.
-MPs' living expenses claims. Put them all up in the Olympic village. Two chairs, a table and a single bed in their second homes and that's it.
-chewing gum (good idea, Sandy). Spray paint cans, same reason: public beauty.
-celebrities.
I'll keep the fifth ban option opens, as something new may annoy me tomorrow.
