[AtW]

I'd introduce these taxes on day 1:

1) 95% income tax on Labour party members

2) 60% income tax on those who vote Labour

3) 99% retrospective property speculation tax on capital gains from property sales made during 2000-2010.

What would you do?

[Gordon Brown]

1. Run the economy in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner
2. Redistribute the wealth of the middle classes to "hard working" families on the dole.
3. No more boom and bust
4. Try and become Prime Minister.
