If I were Prime Minister....

[TimberWolf]

1. Invest 0.00000000000000000000001% of GDP in figuring out a 21st century solution to nuclear energy generation, instead of zero or investing in old nuclear technology. Bring together the worlds top scientists Manhatten project style. Also get the Severn barrage built.

2. Create a 21st century information superhighway to be the envy of the world.

3. Create proper cycle lanes, with a curb, 'cos many roads are suicidal for cyclists. Also tax car users like there is no tomorrow and stop building new roads.

4. Provide tax incentives for not breeding.

For all the candidates who plan on "abolishing political correctness" - what is it and what precisely would you do as PM to achieve this?

[HairyArsedBloke]

For starters:

• Arrest all members of nuLieBore and their collaborators.
  
• Restore the death penalty for treason and apply it to those detained under the first act.
  
• Withdraw from the EU.
  
• Cut public spending including cancelling the pension agreements for the vast numbers of extra public sector employees that were created.
  
• CUT TAXES.

2 years national service for anyone 16 or over not in full time education.

Paid for by whom?

Not out of my taxes, thanks.

It's not possible to explain this properly in a short paragraph without coming across as rather right wing, but it would be a case of turning things around so that people are not afraid to tackle issues in fear of being branded racists or bullys.

For instance, the Government sets targets to recruit % of ethnic into the workforce. If you go for a job how can you be assured you are not being discriminated against because you were born in a category outside the recruitment target, despite being the best person for the job? Isn't that discrimination in itself labelled under the guise of stopping discrimination?

Just one example of many which seems to get accepted, but is it correct, or just politically correct? It actually draws attention and creates divisions in society rather than removing them.

Sometimes the pragmatic approach is better and should always be an option, not overlooked in fear of offending people etc.

If giving this agegroup some discipline reduced crime and prison occupation by even 20% over forthcoming years and gave them some work ethics (therefore paying taxes and not claiming dole), it would probably pay for itself, and eradicate a lot of hoodies and chavs off the streets?

Deport anybody that supports this sort of Idiocy

Anybody working for, or reading, the Daily Mail to be hung, drawn & quartered for crimes against journalism.
