A bit like Nigel Farage would actually
Free beer sounds good. I might include a pie too.

Football teams can only have players who have been born within fifty miles of the club.
I'm off to bed now to think of some more............

Re: Your election promises!

Gay Marriage should be stopped immediately.
Civil partnerships are okay and should carry the same rights as being married for members of the same sex who want to live together, but no public ceremony.....
Public displays of affection between Gays (kissing etc) should be classed as indecent, and treated as such, although it should not be illegal to be gay.
Gay Pride events should cease immediately and be replaced with National Pride events. I quite like the Caribbean ones, and other nationalities living here should be encouraged to do the same....
Sport should be one of the main subjects taught in schools.
Homework should be banned, I never did any and there's nothing wrong with me..... If you can't learn stuff in seven hours you're destined to be a footballer or bin man....
Oh, and did I mention schools hours to be set at 9:00am - 4:00pm.
People leaving school should have a job and only allowed to attend university or college to train for that job. People without a job will serve two years national service.
Diesel and petrol will be rationed per week for private vehicles...Amounts to be decided.
Electric cars will be banned from all roads.....

Ooo no, they'd scare me! At the moment they just annoy me!

I would ban lycra, ban road races of all types (let them race around fields), make beards compulsory for anyone capable of growing one. I would make showing one's knees an offence, punishible by wearing legwarmers in fluorescent colours at all times.
Free cheese for all!
Any person whose name starts with T should be allowed to be served first in supermarkets.
Cats would be banned from poking people in the face to wake them up.
Every citizen would be given vouchers for gnomes, garden or otherwise.
Dirigibles would replace all types of aircraft.
The wearing of brass goggles compulsory for all people over 50.

That's a start!

All orange people would have to prove that they aren't carrots!
If they can't then they would have to appear in Aldi adverts!
Weird eyebrows will be shaved off and sold as fake moustaches.
Wheelbarrows will be licensed to fund public parks.
