I'll give you an example, ABOLISH THE ARMY! SPEND THE MONEY ON PLANTING TREES!
Or perhaps SACK PARLIAMENT! FREE LAPTOPS AND ONLINE REFERENDA FOR ALL!
You get the idea, don't be shy. Supply justification if you want, but don't feel obliged.

My radical suggestion? GIVE FLYBOY ARBITRARY BANNING POWERS! DO IT NOW! THE OCCASIONAL MISTAKE IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY!!

Make overtime illegal.

I read a couple of days ago, there were 390 million hours of overtime a year in the Berlin government alone recently. Yet 15 - 20 % of Berlin adults are without work. So if the employees are not able to get all the work done without overtime, hire more people!

"Registered voters! I am Kouichi Touyama. My countrymen! This country is an abomination! Political reform, whatever reforms, I have absolutely no interest in these things. Our problems go beynd reformation or repair. There is no choice but to abandon this country. Destroy this country now! I don't have a single constructive proposal!"

...and let's do away with soap. and toothpaste. and let us all become immune to dirt's nasties. then we'll save billions in expensive pharmaceuticals and then we can do cool stuff with the money. like, teaching children manners.

... which will be vitally important as the opening words of most children's conversations will be, much as they are now:
"You smell."
"So do you."

Let government income from taxes be spent on public health, medicine, aid to foreign countries, environmental solutions, etc.

Then let arms manufacturers and the army collect door to door for their own financing instead of the other way around.

Replace voting for political party candidates with random choice of representatives who get paid heaps of money and can't be re-elected/-chosen! Have voters vote on what topics should be prioritised, not the people that will deal with them!

Instead of presidential debate replace it with a Deer Hunter-esque game of Russian Roulette. Whoever is alive after the random gunfire get to run the country for 6 weeks, then we start again.

Or, alternately.

FUCK SHIT UP AND BREAK THE MUNDANES OUT OF THEIR REALITY TUNNELS! Trickster'd!

Sack the entire government and replace them with mudkips. id liek that

I heard this on the radio years ago I think. A cabbie's idea. Sell the whole of the UK (land, art, minerals, houses, the crown jewels, north sea oil etc etc) and divvy up the proceeds amongst the population equally. Then we all live as rich tourists in other countries for the rest of our lives. Nice.

Replace all the mudkips with governments. Inside pokeballs. Leave them there.

The rest of us can go out for sundaes.

Kolchak: After the Bomb

Weekly. Guest appearances by Mickey Rourke and Julianne Moore whenever possible.

Because the SciFi Channel's gonna need something semi-original to run pretty soon. And the atmosphere's not quite right for a new Time Tunnel just now.


Also, evolvable governments. Controlled by ten year olds. Only allowed to speak their names and accomplish things never astonishing in a combat ring, but completely pointless and not effecting the greater world around them.
