If I were the Spirit of Britain, I'd do two things:
Simplify and limit the expenses system for MP's.
Get a new British press. Enough of this continual whipping the public into frenzied hysteria. Into mass outrages. What does it all lead to? To nine-year old boys being tried like adults. To beatification of kindergarten teachers with all the public merits of Paris Hilton if they marry right and die young in a car accident in Paris. To the widely held misconception that Britain's entire political clas is composed of liars, cheats and scum.
Once the UK was admired for its capacity for sober reflection. For moderation in public debate.
