scrap austerity measures, abandon zero deficit targetting, sustained public exp. to maintain employment figures and restart growth.
NMW to £8 p/h, regulate financial market heavily.
convert sub-40 ranked uni's into polytechnics, invest heavily into high value manufacturing and engineering.
pull out of EU.
banish monarchy to siberia and declare myself as Glorious Overlord Emperor.

Cut the military budget in half
Legalize all drugs
Mandate that employers can make only 3 times as much as their lowest paid employee (until the transition to co-ops and workplace democracy at which point it would be 1:1)
Nationalize the banking industry
End tax breaks for oil companies

Wanna elaborate on the last part? I sure as fuck wouldn't do my manager's job for the money I'm on, why would anybody else?

Ideally, everyone in a business should be paid the same (or at least very close) because the way I see it one guy's job is just as important as the next. Sure, the leadership skills of a boss are very valuable, but they're worthless if he doesn't have workers doing "shittier" jobs to make it all possible. They both have equally important roles imo. But the idea behind workplace democracy is that we would move beyond "bosses" so to speak. Workers would have a say in how the company runs and what decisions are made. There could still be leaders within in the organization, but they would be elected by their peers and all terminations would have to be voted on by everyone.
Being overly idealistic, I'm sure, but this is all hypothetical and that's my ideal scenario.
