They are all self serving lying wankers......... nuff said
Bang on the money there @MartytheMartianThere is actually a lot to be said for a 'benevolent dictator' if you can find one. Supposedly MacBeth, who was made into a villain by old Willie Shakespeare was actually a pretty good King to his people. Logically if you have one guy who wants to look after and keep his property (the Kingdom) in fine fettle and is a hard enough bastard to knock down all the sneaky gits who would seek to feather their own nests you stand a better chance of having a good country than if you have a few million people all with their own ideas of what is right and wrong etc. where you have politics being twisted this way and that until it reaches a point where it ends up pandering to all manner of minorities and making laws for the few while neglecting the overall picture and the wellbeing of the many. Sound familiar?
Trouble is, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I'll take the title of Lord Protector of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & NI.
Would nationalise key utilities, reduce rates for small companies, simplify the taxation system, politicians in my government would need real world experience to run the departments they operate (and no outside financial interests). death penalty introduced for serious crime. introduce a percentage of wealth scale for court fines rather than set amounts (both personal and corporate). procurement would be weighted to UK companies. Overseas aid to be reduced to 0.1% with priority to oversea territories. Thinning of layers of management in all national institutions. Restructure of education system to follow more work life related system (9-5, two week holidays spread more evenly etc). Raising vehicle driving age to 18 for cars with CBT being mandatory part of the driving pre-test. Anyone with class A illicit substance misuse, put in 7 day crash reduction program and dealers are executed. Tuition fees are written off for graduates of certain professions. Increase military spending with closer working with civil public services. Reduce planning regulations with clear regional long term (25yrs+) infrastructure growth & redevelopment plans. Taxes would also be ring fenced to spending for the cost of that area (ie smoking taxes to health, driving taxes to transport infrastructure mainly but also health etc). And if you have read this far, I will also execute any twat that wants to ban motorcycles.
You’ll get more results as Chief Interrogations and Executioner......just sayin’You can join the peasant army..You can put me down as Chief Executioner and Interrogations officer...Also I liked build a bear so if you do anything with build a bear I'm up for that as well
Now that's a manifesto I can get behind, with some additions, here are a few...I'll take the title of Lord Protector of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & NI.

- All convicted paedophiles to be branded with a large 'P' on the forehead (Red Dwarf Rimmer style) with a red hot branding iron, and then released in to society with all their human rights revoked.
It would be seriously hard to f#ck up any more than the cockwombles who have been running it for the last several decades.I think us lot would be great at running a country...
