You are now the leader

[bdcjacko]

In an alternative reality, you stab the president (or what ever the leader of your country is), though that act you take his or her place, what is the first thing you will do for or to your country.

First thing I do, it buy some stab proof armor. If I could stab him and become president, I got make it harder for the next guy.

Then I change the laws so stabbing the president doesn't make you president.

 

[Queen Michael]

I order noodles.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Oh, and all men must have a suitable moustache!

What about people are incapable of growing one?

 

[Heartcafe]

I'll make Valve release Episode 3.

 

[BENZOOKA]

The president? She has very little power and even that little power continues to diminish.

I'd chillax.

 

[Veloxe]

I would probably eradicate the long standing practice of killing the current ruler transferring all power to his murdered. Give people less of a reason to want my head on a platter. After that the pay cuts start, top down (including me) until people are at more reasonable salaries. After that there are going to be a whole bunch of fun rules that are mostly targeted at making it harder for lobbying groups to simply buy laws through the system.

 

[Leon Last Lord Shyle]

I would funnel as much money into genetically altering humans to be incredibly resistant to all forms of illness etc.

and then the red dwarf holoship society gets introduced things such as family and love become outmoded concepts and society moves forward through constant guilt free sex

 

[Ca3zar416]

I'm going to assume that I can do anything even if normally I would not be able to. I would dissolve and reconstruct the entirety of the government. That way there will be no one capable of resisting my changes as I put them through.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Housing, food, and clothing is free.

You have to limit *yourself*, or others will do that for you.

Violently.

 

[Vern5]

Fake my death and try to get the nation to fall into anarchy.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Seriously: Introduce a radical overhaul of the civil service, cutting bureaucratic redtape and freeing up billions to help ease the burden on our struggling economy.
For the hell of it: Order the production of a mech army and invade any country that looks at me funny.

Probably both of those in a serious manor. I want a powerful Britain once again and while I don't want to go to war, I want us to be a major power once again through both diplomatic and militaristic strength.

First thing is to fix the economy by looking back at ways in which past economic problems have been fixed and addressing the current situation accordingly.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Start a big war. Try to take over the world.
Realise Ireland doesn't even have any nukes. Step down as president and flee to Zimbabwe or something.

 

[Bloodstain]

I will make someone prepare me a nice steak. Then legalize you-know-what and chat with my underlings people.

Then again...

Assuming I take control of my own country, I would first secretly blackmail the Queen into dissolving parliament so I can do whatever I want.

Next, the banishment of all works by Stephanie Meyer. If anyone is caught reading one of these forbidden items, they are sentenced to 3 days confined to a room listening to "Friday" on a continuous loop.

Then there'd be the renaming of the country to "New Atlantis" and a subsequent change of the flag. The destruction of 10 Downing Street and the building of my off-shore base (containing not only an office but full entertainment facilities such a build-in cinema, tennis courts etc).

And finally there'd be sinking all the money that is currently being spent on things I deem to be worthless into the development of a manditory drug that will perform two functions:

1) Make everybody bisexual
2) Make them forget ever having taken the drug in the first place

ALL HAIL THE NEW LEADER

 

[Kris015]

The president? She has very little power and even that little power continues to diminish.

I'd chillax.

Finland has a president? I did NOT know that..

 

[kuyo]

make bacon the national food

Make Kevin Bacon the national food.

 

[Aurgelmir]

Ban Organized religion

 

[tetron]

My first act would probably be to abolish the, "take what you kill" law that lets people just stab me and take my spot as ruler. After that I guess I'd go with the whole wage war for peace bit, or colonize the moon.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

spend copious amounts of money constructing a large bridge from england to france at it's closes point along the english channel. Included in this would also be a town built nearby the bridge, all of these jobs available would at least put a temporary dent in our unemployment rates.

Once bridge is built, conscript the workers and drive our tanks into france. Englands expanding.

 

[theevilsanta]

For the lulz I'd get rid of every social program available (social security, unemployment benefits, welfare, medicare/medicade, etc) just to see how people react. Do they all die or learn to live?

For real I'd push for spacefaring research and a mission to Mars above all. We only have so much time on this planet before the next ice age erases much of our progress. We should really expand if we want our race to continue. If we don't (as many people here I'm sure agree) we should continue fighting about "green" policies because the rest of the planet is more important than us.

Make Kevin Bacon the national food.
