This will be politics with a difference.
You are welcome to join the cabinet as
"Minister for Common Sense."
I am also looking for a
"Minister for letting children take the occasional risk as bruised elbows and scratched knees never did us any harm."
The doctrines of Smith, Malthus, Marx and Keynes will be replaced by
"the Piggy Bank theory of Economics" i.e. take less out than you put in and save something for a rainy day.
There will be a
"Department of FITNESS and Health". Sold off playing fields will not be a problem. We will just build
upwards with a nationwide network of Ganges style masts. I am thinking of mandating that people's pay cheques and benefits payments can only be collected from the button at the top of the mast - but that may be just too draconian for now!
Anyway that's at least half the country's problems sorted - so time for my first cuppa of the day!!

P.S. The country's manufacturing base will be given a kick start by the ordering of thousands of sets of stocks - one for each town centre in the land.
