So you become prime minister.
Discussion
Your policies/legislation/deregulation?
How would you cut spending and where would you spend more? Most importantly, what would you keep/change in the motoring areas?
If I were PM, I'd cut spending by:
1. Less money being sent overseas
2. Abolish the HS2 rail thing (probably too late)
3. Complete blank-canvas of the benefits system
4. Not trying to fix unbroken infrastructure, e.g. making the M3 a "smart motorway"
5. Simplifying administrative processes which probably rack up thousands of hours worth of government labour in admin fees
6. Not lowering speed limits, thus saving cash on thousands of new signs
I'd spend more on:
1. NHS
2. Police
3. RAF, Army, Navy and SAR etc
4. Supporting new state-of-the-art infrastructure developments
On the motoring side of things:
1. Higher fines for mobile phone use/drink-drug driving, everybody benefits except the offender
2. By greater funding of the police, have more traffic cops out to catch the MLMs
3. Review of insurance company policies, to cut the jargon and act on behalf of the policy holder instead of being lazy/greedy by settling 50/50 all the time
4. Consider mandatory dashcam fitment on new vehicles
5. Potholed roads to be resurfaced, not patched
6. Review of all speed limits introduced in the past 10 years where the road layout didn't change but the limit was lowered
7. I'd have the BBC pull their finger out of their box ticking "investigation" and reinstate Clarkson immediately so we can all watch TG tonight.
I'm sure somebody will be along to say there's a flaw in my plan but hey, I'm not going to be PM so who cares.
