If I was prime minister

[Kenj]

Definitely agree with that first one, & the solar one.

But if I was a benevolent dictator, I'd make teaching empathy in schools throughout all years of schooling compulsory. And add things such as basic parenting (taught by actual parents who've been trained to comunicate well with kids) budgeting, cooking & gardening to be taught by experienced people because teachers have enough to do already.
Teaching & nursing would be far more valued, properly paid & have excellent work conditions.

Any damn fool who wants to be a politician should be prevented from doing so; in the words of Mark Twain:

"The desire to become a politician should be sufficient to warrant being banned from ever doing so for life."


Remove greed based Neo LIberalism from this country forever.

Help farmers to find better ways of farming rather than using chemicals, some of which have been found to be extremely harmful.

Raise taxes (NOT to a punitive level though) & use those to as far as possible, pay for education & health so that its no longer only those able to afford private healthcare who have the means to avoid living in extreme pain.
Ideally, education at all levels would be freely accessible on any subject thoughout a person's entire life - if we were able to do that across the entire world, the differnece it would make to us all would be huge.

Interesting bit on tax there. Without looking it up, I think Denmark has one of the highest tax rates but is compensated by being one of the happiest countries. Sounds OK to me. Problem would be finding the right lot to deal with it.

Lillith7 for Benevolent Dictator!!!    OK?
