If you were King/President/Prime Minister, what would be the first 3 things you do?

I was just wondering what the first three things you would do if you were the leader of your home country (or any other countries of which you are a citizen or subject), and you don't have to worry about parliaments and such things.

For me :

1. Increase the size of the Armed Forces
2. Re-nationalise the Royal Mail
3. Re-build the Empire

The fact that it was mainly Labour governments that did the opposite of the above three is merely co-incidental, I think...

1 Build a large amount of reasonably high density housing in the south east of England and sell it on the open market to bring prices back down. Abolish VAT on development of brownfield sites and ban any new building on greenfield sites

2 make child care fully tax deductable, including a full tax credit if one parent stays at home while the other works but ONLY if the parents are married or in a registered civil partnership.

3 pass a Secular Act, disestablishing the Church of England, prohibiting the teaching of religion in publically funded schools, repealling the offences of incitement to religious hatred and criminal blasphemy, repealing the prohibition against discrimination on religious grounds etc.

Beirut The Terrible - King of Canada

1 - Fully nationalize the health care system at every level and in every conceivable way. Including dentists, prescriptions, glasses, everything.

2 - Form and command command the King's Own Death Squad. Criminals who always get away with it would get away with it no more.

3 - Institute a national program of government supplied concubines from both domestic and foreign sources. Keep the menfolk happy I say. ~:cheers:

1. Hire private companies to run failed NHS Hospitals on contracts with limitted but effective government regulation on standards, rather than targets. Such hospitals would be run like a business, but would recieve their funding from the government. Introduce a very small tax on very fatty foods.
2. Bring European Intercity high speed lines to Britain, to go from Folkestone to London and from there to Birmingham, Edinborough and Manchester. Start a process of adding additional lanes to the channel tunnel. The channel tunnel will also be fined for illegal immigrants entering the country through it, as will any freight ferry companies. Immigrants illegally entering the UK by passing from EU nations and nations where they are in no danger of oppression will have their assylum claims extremely discriminated against unless there are special circumstances.
3. Create 12 seperate UK states, capable of raising local incoming taxes to pay for the majority of local services (which would replace council tax) and electing regional assemblies that can decide on local issues. The national government would control income tax and national insurance and would have say over national issues. Allow regional or national referenda if a certain quota of the population petition for one. Renegotiate EU contributions (downawards) to increase the amount of money available for development of poorer regions in the UK and increasing aid to Africa.

I as King would:

1.Call up for national service avery one who knows how to use a longbow, a billhook, a sword or ride a horse.
2. Assert my claim on France.
3. Invade France.

Do not tell me that I hate France, because I love it. I love it so much I want to have every village in it.........

On a more serious note:
1. Make myself the supreme ruler.
2. Organise a new economic plan. This includes of raising millions of punds in bonds as capital. Then this money would be invested in various sectors of the market. The people with the bonds would be given interest on the money lent and any money made would serve to nationalise things such as the railways. These would be run by a Swiss. The money would also be used to improve health care, education, police force, armed forces and so on. The rest would be used to buy more shares/companies. Since the money is invested in various sectors, the likelyhood of a loss is reduced.
3. Return to the grammar school/secondary modern system, where the secondary moderns focus on manual skills such as carpentry.

Of course, there's much more to do such as reinstating the death penalty for murderers, serial killers,traitors to the state and people who like Fiat cars. Corporal punishment should also come into force for yobbism and so on. Rapists and paedophiles should be castrated.

So many things come to mind, I better not even start. If this was what are 100 things you would do I would have a field day. ~D

my allegiance is yours my lord...

1. nationalize infrastructure.

2. reform the Swedish armed forces to be more modern and to a professional army. No more draft but keep the army small and elite.

3. increase the support to students to incurage young unemployed to study if no job is available.¨


could go on for ever. :bow:

I would remove the designated hitter from major league baseball.

I would approve 5 year eligibility for collegiate football players in the NCAA.

Then I would balance the national budget.

1. Cut unemployment benefits in half, use the money to help fund new upstart companies and to reduce labour costs.

2. Stricter control on doctors, hospitals and pharmacies so that public healthcare can stay affordable.

3. Built a kick arse police force, armed with the latest FN Herstal rifles (got to support local economy), redraw the legal system so it includes more juries and less appeals, built more prisons, keep the criminals locked away longer. Forced labour in prison, like a sweat shop, so they don't compete with the people in the normal economy.

God-Emperor Demon Archangel I's Agenda:

1.) Stop spending 20% of the budget on social security. Start spending around 10%

2.) Take the money saved and use it to increase the federal education budget and the military budget.

3.) Legalize prostitution.

1. Build clone army.
2. Invade Rotterdam, just to see the expression Emperor Umeu 1's face.
3. Make some kind of space program and explore/colonise/conquer the solar system.

1) Ban Religion
2) Disband the army
3) Legalize prostitution
4) Legalize Marijuana
5) Create a secret police
6) MAke sure I control every branch of the government
7) Execute murderes and rapists
8) Make Beirut my second in Command

The Don says...

1) Corporate welfare, in it's many forms, is now illegal by decree. Let United take a dive, somebody who knows how to run an airline business will take their place.

2) From now on, the United States will only post troops on it's own soil. We will offer aid where we can, but only where our aid workers security can be guaranteed. The first act of agression against one and all aid is suspended. We will not use troops to guarantee the safety of foreign aid workers, and it will take an official act of war to have troops deployed on any foreign soil, even when requested (ie, I'd remove all troops from Korea, Okinawa, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, et. al).

3) From now on, America's military secrets are her own. Without exception, we will no longer share any military techology with foreign powers, friend or foe.

4) America is once again in the business of business. We will trade with anyone, anywhere. In rare occassions where boycotts/embargoes are called for, the exact reason for the embargo, and a series of conditions to be met to remove the embargo will be required to be published before said embargo can go into affect.

5) Flat tax. You only pay on money you earn over 50K.

6) We reinstitute mandatory national service. Our military will return to being a citizen army and only health exemptions will excuse somebody from serving.

7) I call this one the 'Beirut is right' rule. I'm making Beirut "Minister of Babes" and all policies he institutes with regards to the fairer sex shall be considered empowered with all the weight of my office. To show my own flair in this regard, a select corps of 'Hooters' girls will be chosen to attend to all serving functions at the White House.

4.) Beirut becomes my harem manager. He gets 14 free girls a week.

5.) I will develop fusion power, even if it means pulling the technology out of my own ***hole.

6.) I will colonize space.

You personally by yourself?

...

May as well add another 3...

4. Appoint Beirut as Viceroy of Canada, in exchange for a few dozen concubines.
5. Marry into the House of Windsor, perhaps Princess Eugenie, and make myself King of Great Britain and Emperor of India.
6. Enforce a strict diet of deep-fried Mars Bars, potatoes, and Welshmen.

p.s. and everybody knows that the British Army is the best trained in the world, especially the Black Watch, the Royal Marines, and the Parachute Regiment...

1) Flat Income Tax = 20% (Companies and individuals, and investment returns (i.e. dividends and interest)
2) Sales tax = 10% (All goods and commercial services, except food, water, government services)
3) Every $1 contributed to a Pension scheme (locked in until 55), etc. earns $1 less tax per year.

Save the environment from Bush

Institute clean/renewable fuel initiatives

Mend Mid-East relations, somehow...

May not be the top three but they are up there.

As King Lars I of Canada I would,

-Create a noble class

-Enlarge the military to repectable levels

-Make Beirut Grand Duke of Quebec for him to rule as he sees fit, provided that entails absolute loyalty to me.

-Make my brother Grand Duke of Alberta (if you knew my brother this is the ultimate punishment)

-legalize prostitution, and polygmany (for men and women)

-Loosen up immigration laws, and make it so immigrant doctors engineers, and the like can find work easier and quicker here.

1. Disband Congress and the Judiciary, declair myself Kaiser von Amerika
2. Take full command of the military, expand it with massive conscriptions, increase basic training, increase Armor production (as in Tanks).
3. Begin to rid the nation of illegals and other potential enemies of the state.
4. Outlaw all opposition parties.
5. Reestablish a moral government; end the humanist and heretical plots, by force if nessissary.
6. Take over Germany, move my government there, and rename my nation "Der Reich von Deutschland und Amerika." Make Munich my capital.
7. Take back Alcase, Lorraine, Prussia, Pomerania, Silsea, and the Sudentland.
8. Withdraw from the UN and other entangling treaties, take any other willing nations into a (insert numeral here) entante.
9. Test a new missile program on various unimportant islands.
10. Take full control of whatever I want.

1 Throw a big party
2 sleep a little
3 have another party

Sorted , the country can go to hell as long as it doesn't disturb my fun ~:cheers:

King Steppe Merc of Happy Land (which includes the current holdings of the United States of America)

1. Legalise marijuana, LSD, and shrooms, legalise prostitution and gambling, and make the drinking age and legal to have sex age (whatever that is called...) 17 ~;)
2. Outlaw the death penalty
3. Cut military spending drastically, give the excess money to improve the poor, education and our economy
4. Invest into nuclear, solar and wind energy. Give tax breaks to companies that create hybrid car, solar powered houses, and other enviromentally friendly things. Outlaw further oil drilling in places like Alaska and Antartica. Tax heavily all SUV maker and Hummer sellers.
5. De centralize and create general confusion in the current music business that promotes only pop and rap, and other crap. Allow all bands that are good (read: that I like ~;) ) to continue as they have always done in addition to helping them, as well as creating my own record company to help return good (read: music that I like) to the world. I would sign new bands that I like, as well as any already existant bands that wanted out of the bad music companies. I would give the artists complete control, and they wouldn't have to worry about making popular music, only good music.
6. Become a vassal to King Beruit, in return for his protection and friendship, I would send a set amount of attractive, willing women to King Beruit that he has chosen per year. :bow:

1) spend gazillions of dollars/pounds/yen/flying monkeys on alternate power generation tech
2) Force Beirut to become my minister for women ~D
3) liberalize the place up i.e. legalizing soft drugs, prostitution etc and also, good music :wink:

You're not German! You're too smushy to be German! AHHH! FUR DER KAISER! :charge: :duel: :knight: :whip :stwmean: :barrel: : :hanged: :hanged: :rifle:

1) Reinstate the sedition laws, which would take care of the leftist fifth column in America.

2) Reinstate the draft.

3) Take control of the entire Middle East and deal with Chavez in Venezuela via a CIA cocktail.

4) Give Russia a freehand with Chechnya and the former satellites for an agreement to sell their oil only to America and Europe.

5) Use my now consolidated power of the worlds oil to bend China over my knee, thus eliminating the only true competition to America's power.

This situation can be sustained for as long as Oil is the #1 commodity in the world. Europe will not ever be a threat to anyone this century and by playing Russia and China off each other, all competition is extinguished. :bow:

I've just thought of another thing: send some very good pot to PJ and especially Kaiser so they can chill, and forget about their world domination for a bit. ~;)
