I would promise outlawing religious propaganda. Unless someone asks for information from a religious organization, it would be illegal to push it.

I would promise to end tax exemption from religious organizations.

I would promise to remove all religious icons and wordings from all government documents, etc.

I would promise to eliminate all teams from New York from all sports leagues.

In fact, I would promise to sell the city of New York to the highest bidding country.

I would promise to give Texas back to Mexico, which would end the immigration problems.

As a US president, I would do the following:

-Make health care and fitness programs free for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity or economic class,
-Criminalize racism, homosexism, and anti-americanism

That's probably it rite now.

No, it would be an immigration nightmare for Oklahoma.

Well, since not many of you will be familiar with Hungarian politics I will make my post about the UK Prime Minister:

1) Recall all UK armed forces and bring them home. From now on their only role is defending the UK.

2) Tell the Falkland Islands and all the other former colonies that they have two options, come to live in the UK or accept independence.

3) Provide a direct link between the National Insurance system and the National Health Service, then use the NI payments for nothing else but the NHS. If the population want a better health service then they pay for it.

4) Force MPs to work a minimum 45 hour week with no outside income.

5) Abolish the TV licence, speeding cameras and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.

6) Introduce the death penalty for terrorism, killing a police officer or killing a child.

That should give you all something to talk about :D

I would put to trial most of the Labour and Tory personnel for war crimes alongside the collaborating raitors within media and security services.

I would create a body to look into war crimes within our armed services and try and punish all those guilty.

I would announce to the British people that here on they shall be paying £2000 each per tax payer per annum on average as war reperations to the Iraqi people for the next 20 to 50 years.

Offer the head of Tony Blair to the familly of President Saddam Hussein to do with as they will.

I hate to sound ignorant but.....

I'm from the UK and I thought there was a direct link between N.I system and the NHS?

At least that's what I've always been told.

Well, it's been nearly twelve years since I worked in the UK so memories fade. What I was thinking of was using the National Insurance scheme to ONLY pay for the Health Service. So, as an example, if the NHS costs 10 billion GBP for the next 12 months then collect 10 billion GBP in National Insurance from the working population to pay for it.
