What would you do if you were PM - 10th Jan 2007 12:44am
Because Tony Blurt is doing such a bad job,what would you do if you were Prime minister??
I'd TRY do the following: in the following order
Leave council and income tax rates as they are,theyre ok
Increase the tax on fags to bring ur average pack of 20 to about 12 quid!
Decrease tax on fuel by about 3p,every little helps!
Increase funding to the forces and up the manning to what it was 2 years ago AT LEAST and give the guys a massive payrise,like 20% (i'd also alter the paybands for different trades,ATM an SAC lvl 5 chef gets paid the same as me,an SAC lvl 5 avionics tech)
Increase funding to NHS a tad
Alter the schooling system somehow (research wud be needed)
Change road tax,taking into account emissions AND vehicle size and weight. A lexus SUV hybrid pays NO road tax cos its a hybrid,yet one of those doing 10,000 motorway miles a year more than likely puts out more CO2 etc than a 1.6 hatchback,and it damages the road more) (road tax used to be about paying for the upkeep of the road,meaning ALL road users shud pay, now u dont have to pay if u have a car that PRETENDS to be green)
And all that is just for starters
