What Would You Choose?

If you were Prime Minister for one day only and able to put two of your Manifesto promises into action. What would you choose?

Mine would be as follows:

1. Make 23rd June a National Holiday every year.

2. Make 2/3rds of the Overseas Aid Budget available for our own struggling citizens here.

What would you choose?

One day? I would love to have complete control FOR EVA .

One day would just destroy me - all that power slipping through my fingers after 24 hours. No, would rather not experience it at all .

Re: What Would You Choose?

I agree I would like more than a day but if thats all we have I would scrap the 1% pay rise for nurses they deserve better than that, also I would keep the pensioners triple lock. I know that's two wishes but truly I need a third... I would sack Diane Abbott, I know I'm a mean person but I would just have to do that.

Re: What Would You Choose?

Stop all foreign aid for at least five years - longer if the country hasn't reduced its borrowing to reasonable levels. Only reinstate foreign aid to those in dire need so the likes of India, Pakistan, Nigeria, North Korea (if you please) are excluded. Cut ties with Saudi Arabia until such time they they increase rights to their women and stop abusing foreign nationals from poor countries going there to work.


And finally, outlaw FIFA - more corrupt than the EU and that's saying summat.

I know that's three but what can you do?

1. Stop all foreign Aid.

2. Make breaking election promises a criminal offence.


If I could have a third choice, I would employ all the lovely ladies from OFF and we could sit around for the rest of the day having tea and cakes

Hello to you too Judd

Yes I agree I will forfeit sacking Diane Abbott for ceasing foreign aid especially to India.

This thread reminds me of the Miss World Contest where the beauty queen would utter some syrupy reply, followed by a Marilyn Monroe type giggle!

I would definitely put more funding into Education, especially in primary schools.
Keep some of the overseas aid money for our people, afterall, charity begins at home!
