I'm tempted to say that I would ban ANY advertising for online gambling.

Or make football punishable by death.

No use banning religion completely, you need the population to worship you and only you.

People that don't indicate to be dragged out of their cars and shot down like the vermin that they are. Bodies to be left as a warning to others.

See also: people that can't tidy up after themselves in fast food outlets. Dead.

Require all imported good to be made at or above the environmental standards that would be required if the same goods were produced in the uk. If not possible then a tax on the imported goods.

Or simplify the tax system by removing tax thresholds creating steps and walls of tax by have continuous tax functions that take on different shape (probably sigmoidal curves) depending on the tax suspect matter.

Anybody who misuses the term "literally" in normal conversation shall be beaten in public with a wet kipper.

Repeat offenders will be hit in the face with a haddock.

Upon every third Thursday of the month the entire population shall affect a Sean Connery accent when speaking, except for Sean Connery himself , who will instead have to talk like Roger Moore.

Personally I'd really **** sh1t up. Some ideas:

- dismantle the nhs and sell off the remnants
- destroy the welfare state, targeting the poorest the hardest
- hammer the education system with a bizarre mix of forced academisation and new grammar schools
- abandon the renewable energy industry and put our energy security in the hands of an outdated, expensive technology and with a massive subsidy for the next 40 years
- hold a referendum without telling anyone what it really means or what the rules are, but use the result to justify whatever right-wing crazy sh1t I wanted (maybe start off making ominous lists of foreigners and such like)

You know, real reckless evil stuff like that. Mwahahahah

semi serious answer - I shall adopt flashys one on no gambling advertising.

citizens income / positive and negative income tax and sharply rising income tax so the poorest are better off, the average the same and the rich worse off. simplifies tax and national insurance and benefits.

vastly increased powers for tax fraud. give companies the option of tax on turnover or profits to stop them exporting all the profits like starbucks.

End all the internal market nonsense in the english NHS

Set up a proper federal system of government.

Base indirect taxation on carbon costs

Legalise all drugs bar cocaine and make it a healthcare issue not a criminal justice one - this would halve crime overnight as junkies don't have to go out robbing and given the experience elsewhere would end heroin addiction over a generation

Introduce strict liability for road users to protect the vulnerable

Introduce mandatory retesting for driving licence every 3 years.

Govenment expenditure < 20% of GDP

Not sure the libertarian sympathies that lie behind my choice fit well with the premise of the thread or of Cpn's suggestion, but I would say that the tag line "and I bet responsibility" is a great oxymoron and disturbing to hear

So many things I think I need a bigger wall, but first I'd make them read out their 3 best* forum posts on live TV before entering the hunger games - which in this case turns out to be a fenced off essex with no TV cameras (I'd probably leave the indigenous population in there)

When my absolute power ends I think I would want to go out in style

Move everyone to North America and Europe and leave the rest of the earth fallow for 10 years to recover, then rotate the earths population between continents every 10 years so we will get to enjoy the planet and us the resources available without screwing all of it up at the same time.

People who fail to indicate would get a bright yellow LED's installed onto their foreheads which would flash continually for the rest of their natural life.

Ban plastic packaging. Can't be that expensive to wrap stuff in paper/glass/other reusable or recyclable material.

Then I'd commission lots of these, programmed to take out anyone dropping litter out of car windows, or anyone just generally being a nob.

Force teachers to do teacher training days during the ample holidays already allocated
Amputation for people who drop litter
7 days in prison practising with HubbaBubba for people who can't eat with their mouth closed

+1
And..

Internet bullshit, all who spout nasty bullshit and hateful posts will be electrocuted through thier keyboard/devices.
People who use exsesive speed driving country lanes, for this a helicopter will pick them up with a huge magnet and drop them into a landfill pit full of Brexiters.
People who fail to listen to others in the conversation loop, those who just interrupt and take over, well these folk should have thier tongues pulled whilst being shouted at in each ear by angry children.
Kids TV advertising, banned completely, so too "product placement" infringements will be dealt with by taking the infringer into the stocks and flour and egg thrown at them.

I have more, but I have to go to work..

All bicycles to be fitted with lasers that extend 1.5m beyond the bars.

Anyone that thinks nice/tasty/ real beer, has to be artisan or craft, shall be forced to drink nothing but Fosters through a straw.

The population shall be whittled down by dosing every page of the Daily Mail and Daily Express with huge quantities of LSD, so that we can spot those talking constantly about "immigrant pink elephants" and shoot them..

Anyone found watching TOWIE, the only way is Marbs, Big Brother or similar shall be shipped to a "colony of stupid" built by erecting a 40ft high wall round the Isle of Wight and made to fight to the death.

Any female (and the odd male) who thinks they need to use make up to make themselves orange, shall have the colour permanently tattoo'ed and "TANGO" put on their foreheads.

I could go on...
