    I'd ban commuters from town (yes all of them).
    More Bus, Luas and Rail services.
    Leave the euro currency, I wish I didn't have to but I do:(
    Make every primary school taught through Irish for the first 4 years. Then in 3rd class introduce German (only an example, a choice would be offered) as a 3rd language.
    Harsher justice system. Life will mean life. One conviction for armed robbery for example will carry a minimum 5 year sentence. 2nd conviction will be life.
    White collar crime will carry the same punishments.
    Light exercise will be compulsory every day before work.
    Legalize cannabis and tax it at 42%.
    Removal of the USC.
    Increase corporation tax by 2%.
    Introduce a new higher rat tax for people earning over 120,000 a year of 50%
    Lower the lowest tax rate by 3%
    Exterminate Fás.
    Reformation of all public sector jobs. No more early retirement.
    Return the retirement age to 65 on the day.
    Leagalise prostitution.
    Put the catholic church on probation.
    One years national service compulsory.


    There's a lot more but I guess that's enough for now.
    Best save the crazy stuff for later :P

    They will be put on Spike Island to detox. Once officials are happy with their progress they will be returned to society.

    Also those ****ing Zurich yodelling ads.:mad:

    And not just ban Harvey Norman adds but personally kick him into the sea and burn down all his stores.

    Stop putting non-violent offenders in prison. Increase the sentences for violent offenders 4-fold.

    Legalise everything that doesn't directly affect someone elses rights.

    Take 1 day every year to burn effigies of me - an anti-personality cult.

    I'd move all the junkies and skangers to a ghetto without ANY privileges. Yes, they could die - I don't care.
    I'd also ensure that Garda Traffic Corps deal with idiot drivers, cyclist and pedestrians with appropriate manner.

    The world would become a better place :)

    Imprison and torture scumbags.
    Impose abortions on anyone who planned to keep a child my tax ended up paying for.
    3-4 day working weeks on rotation.
    Condition everybody to like good art, make festivals a year-round event.
    Legalise drugs.
    Introduce suicide booths.

    Given the body shapes of some of the chicks I know around here it wouldn't really be any advantage teaching them ass kicking karate moves to ward of foreign invaders.

    Putting them in bikinis would be a fearsome enough sight; and probably warrant an appearance in front of the UN Council for Human Rights on charges of War crimes against Humanity as it is.

    I know it might be stating the obvious here, but surely without all the commuters there wouldn't actually be a need for all those extra public transport services?

    Improve I guess is the word I was looking for there.
    On a side note I really love what they've done with Dublin Buses. Now if they can just get rid of people shooting up and **** on them they'd be great.
    Also more routes.

    I'd leave the rats alone to be honest. Sure they already live in squalor.

    If I was a dictator I would be ironical by forcing people to start thinking for themselves and to ask questions instead of accepting what they are told. I actually think western civilisations are slaves to their own minds by being subservient and unwilling to do anything for change.

    I would start in the schools by forcing young adults to start getting involved in how their country is run. I would setup a puppet government that I would hold morally accountable when I know they are acting the f**k. It would be a legal requirement for you to vote and you would lose any social welfare entitlement if you didnt.

    Politicians would be judged on performance and wastage (as would the public service). I would bring laws into legislation that would hold politicians more accountable then the average Joe to encourage the right people to go for the job.
