Your first 5 acts as prime minister?
Saw this on another forum, if you got elected tomorrow, what would your first 5 acts as prime minister be?
Mine:
1) Stop ALL "job seeking" benefits completely after 1 month of unemployment and introduce a government work scheme where you are given a job, if you do the job you get your benefits, if you dont do it then you dont get paid, you dont get entitlement to housing support and you dont get access to the NHS. If you have kids and allow yourself into that situation then they get taken into care.
2) Rise VAT to 25% and get this country properly out of debt
3) Pull out of afghanistan, never get involved in a war about gas or oil again, and cut the defence budget by 75% and use the money to find and prosecute benefit fradusters, we need some defenses, but nothing like what we have, we have no natural enemies likely to invade us anyway, so all we need is to meet the minimum requirements to stay part of NATO etc.
4) Spend ALL money collected in road tax revenue and fuel tax on the transport system
5) Anyone who smokes or is obese or drinks excessively etc will not be given NHS treatment for anything relating to those lifestyle choices until they have had 3 months clean (in the case of obesity they would have to hit a weight loss target each month) If its not important enough for you to quit smoking to help solve it then its not important enough to waste taxes on.
