I know we would all do the usual peace in our time, great life for everyone etc etc. But if you where able to be the prime minister / president of the World what practical changes would you make? Here are some of mine Make taxation fair - I would get rid of the current taxation systems in the world all of which charge you a higher percentage level of tax the lower your income and ensure that everyone paid a fair contribution to society based on their ability to pay. Remove taxation on essentials - Most countries now have some form of sales tax - I would remove this tax from essential items - yes I do consider fuel for you car an essential - This is just another form of tax deigned to get the poorest in today's society to pay more. Ensure the fair distribution of food - Everyone must have a minimum level of food and water just to sustain life - we ned to ensure this is available to everyone - no-one in this modern World should ever starve to death.

Wipe out the criminals - I can just see the legislation for that - everything is legal. This seems more of a god action rather than a political step

I wouldn't change anything, you know why? Because this is an unavoidable journey and lesson of 'free-will due to thinking ability'.. In other words, that's the wonder, and the horror too, of this life.. 'free-will'. [Free-will, or choice/being able to make choices, is a by product of rationality. So if there's to be thinking ability in the cosmos.. there must be choice and this unavoidable journey and lesson we are upon.]

So am I to read into this that you find the current politics we have are the right way to do things?

I would remove religion from the world. Not sane curiosity mind you, just the fervent belief in the fairy tales of past and future attributed to an unseen and all knowing "being" or "god". No more "My god is better than your god"
