OK: You have 10 (or less) points to make in order to support your election as PM.
The rules are they're things you'd what to change and are changable.
What are they and why?
Mine:
1. Tax reform and NI: Raise taxes by 1% basic, 1% upper and introduce supertax of 50% on earnings over £200k to fund 2 below. Tax relief of 5% for essential workers (teachers, nurses, fire); All FS workers who own over £1m to be taxed an additional £50k to be placed into 'innovation funding. Mandatory health insurance paid by all employers, including for zero hour workers.
2. Abolish all forms of paid education for nationalised residents; in its place, using money from 2 above, introduce 3 bands of school, based upon entrance exams and, importantly, make all education completely secular.
3. Formation of a crack squad of Boardroom Fraud Investigators with teeth and empowerment.
4. Ban all forms of religious animal slaughter techniques.
5. Nationalise the Royal Family, make it a profit making PLC with KPI's and targets and an ability to invest (no shareholding allowed over 1%)
6. Total ban on alcohol advertising and all booze branding to match that of cigarettes.
7. Legalise personal use of Cannabis.
8. All politicians to resign directorships and biz interests for 4 years prior and 4 years after office; no income from other sources of any kind, but raise salaries. Expenses on residences abolished.
9. Cancel Trident and put money into Innovation Fund 7 above and alternative energy sources.
10. All nationalised companies that are 'sold off' are to attract a proportional dividend of 40% split accross working public as basic rate tax relief.
Based upon this, I expect to win by a landslide.

2 marmite. You either love it or you shouldn't be allowed to vote
3 if you are famous for "reality" tv then you legally cannot be referred to as a celebrity
4 Katie Hopkins will have to listen whilst someone explains why what she said makes he look so stupid, everything she goes near a keyboard or microphone. And then shown a photo of her dogging before she naked a moral pronouncement.
5 anyone in politics to be fitted with a small scale taser that goes off anytime they tell a lie.
And, when was the last time we needed to use Trident?

People owning shares to be made to hang onto them for, say, five years before being allowed to sell. That way investors would be interested in the long term viability of the company instead of a quick profit.
All manifesto promises to be legally binding.
The tax and education ideas I like. I was one of the last year's to get tuition free uni and strongly believe it should be free for all.

Its used every day of the year since since it went operational, it gives us international political leverage we would otherwise miss out on. We are a small nation, dont forget that.
And banning religious slaughter is a divisive choice, you would struggle to get the religious vote.

Mine'd be simple (so as to appeal to the maximum number of voters).
Vote for me because I can spell - the other guy can't.
If you are asking what scenario I'd release the warheads, then I'll point out that that isnt what Trident is used for. It's a political tool, not a military one.
