If your toddler were Prime Minister...

Hello all

You may have already had a 'why-is-there-a-live-stream-from-a-nursery-on-telly-OH-NO-WAIT-IT'S-PMQs' moment. It got us wondering - how might the national landscape differ if your toddlers did actually hold the keys to number 10?

Ban on broccoli? Compulsory puddle-jumping? Confectionary industry nationalised? What's the first Act of Parliament your toddler (or ex-toddler) would pass if they were actually allowed to swap wet wipes for Westminster?

Anyone attempting to put your pants on, or wipe your face will be locked in the shed.

The letter f is fine as the letter s in any word. same goes for k being pronounced t.

Wellies can be worn on either foot.

The dog gets a bit of anything you eat.

Everything (from single banana to a trolley full of shopping) will cost £2 please.
All journeys (whether it's to nursery or to Australia) will take 2wowers and we should have time for a little nap on the way.
All newborns (girl, boy, amimal) will be called Elsa.
Only chuldruns can have birthdays not growed ups and if growed ups do have to have birthday they will not be allowed an Elsa bouncy castle.
No one will ever be allowed to overtake us which is shame for the rest of you as I drive a 40 year old vw camper.

Every meal would involve pasta, even breakfast. Unless there were chips on offer, in which case... but no, pasta... or chips... or pasta...

Or pasta and chips, but always, always with ketchup.

And broccoli.

And Batman would be his deputy, apart from the days when DS is Batman.

And Flop would be in charge of being nice.

And if anyone got told not to do something, it would be against the law to not immediately do it. Even if it was going to hurt. And getting told off afterwards would be illegal too. Especially if it hurt.

You'd be unable to do anything without breaking the law, which would constantly change from 1s to the next.

She would ban fish counters from supermarkets, as the fish were sad that they were "not working" dead apparently!

Coco Pops would be the national dish.

PMQs would also be more direct. "X, you are annoying me, stop saying that. "
And
"Don't interrupt. I am kwoncentrating."

Thanks for the vote allalone. Ds has never had fruit juice with bits in but considering his strength of feeling about other food with bits I think we can take it as a given. Law banning bits hereby amended to include juice.
Don't forget, in line with one of the other policies, your donation must be £50! Grin

Bananas would be available on prescription, to be consumed at least 3 times a day.
She would build a new, iconic sky scraper in the capital made out of stacky cups.
Nobody would be allowed to wear socks on their feet but carrying one in each hand and then placing them on cats would be quite appropriate.

toysrus open 24/7. chocolate on tap. Night garden live would be available everyday. No one would be allowed to walk in the same direction as her! (seems only she can walk on the pavement cause its hers)

I'd hope all our DC's were too good to be the PM though. Cant trust a politican. Hmm

Well, they've got my vote ICant, I already do the waving at children thing, like milk and just love spag bol.
If they would see their way to extending the rules about bits to fruit juice too, I'll donate to their party funds Smile

It would be law for all train, truck and bin lorry drivers to wave to children. And bin day would be everyday, not once a week.

Free milk for everyone. The national dish would be spaghetti bolognaise.

Presents and Easter eggs would just be for children and would be a daily event.

Everything, especially ice cream and cakes, would cost £50.

It would be illegal for yoghurt and ice cream to have bits in.
