I would listen to the people of the country I work for.

Officially.

I'd close every single tax evasion avoidance loophole thus clearing the debt overnight. I'd also repeal the law which requires politicians to be tits.

I'd want correct grammar drummed into kids in schools.

I would make everyone in the country wear a uniform of my choosing colour coded according to how high you had risen in my estimation. Silver jumpsuit would be number 1, brown puffball skirt and string vest combo coming up the rear. I of courselves would have a golden hunting jacket and a top hat made of diamonds.

a) roll my sleeves up à la Barack when visiting riot scenes instead of being dressed up to the nines
b) tie Great Britain to a (big) barge and tow it a bit further left so it didn't have to get involved in crappy EU timewasting money-wasting energy-wasting resource-wasting bureaucratic shite
c) definitely make Boris Johnson wear the peach sundress, plus a hat with cherries
d) get Cleggy to take the strain for a bit and go back to Tuscany

for people who don't work within education of childcare and social services to BUTT out of all decision making and i trust the people who actuall do the work not people employed to watch and judge them

southeastastra · 11/08/2011 21:46

i would also employ an editor clearly Grin

LivingEdwardMunchPainting · 11/08/2011 21:47

Perhaps not a tabloid editor ...

ChumleeIsMyHomeboy · 11/08/2011 21:49

I heartily agree with Dueling.

Make all parents financially support their biological children, no matter what else comes into their lives.

Make all politicians pay double-tax and use the savings to give every woman in the country a few £00s for a windfall treat... I'd spend mine on Jo Malone, I marinade in the stuff.. Grin

For people who haven't got a clue about life not to run the country

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 21:56

OK.

Perhaps :

I would listen to the majority of people in the country I work for, oh, and my peers, who sometimes 'get it' better than I do.

And not just press on regardless with things that I (alone) believe are right.

i used to interview people applying to train to be nurses. We did group interviews with question cards and asked each person to pick a card (unseen) then talk for 2 mins and then discuss with the rest of the group for 3 mins. (to see interaction etc).

Anyway, the op's question was one of them (bearing in mind this was an interview in front of a panel and one of the skills of nurses is to deal with delicate situations and subjects).

I was Shock that on more than one occasion the answer (agreed with by others in the group) was to bring back the death penalty for homosexuals!

properly grim. :(
