On day one!

Otherwise a new British Conservative government has failed!

Thus:

On the first day of your government, you should close down the BBC. You should take it off air. You should disclaim its copyrights. You should throw all its staff into the street. You should not try to privatise the BBC. This would simply be to transfer the voice of your enemy from the public to the private sector, where it might be more effective in its opposition. You must shut it down – and shut it down at once.

You should do the same with much of the administration. The Foreign Office, much of the Home Office, the Commission for Racial Equality, anything to do with health and safety and planning and child protection – I mean much of the public sector – these should be shut down.

If at the end of your first month in power, you have not shut down half of the State, you are failing. If you have shut down half the State, you have made a step in the right direction, and are ready for still further cuts.

Strong meat, and perhaps going some way beyond what is necessary or wise.

Plus campaigning on a ticket of abolishing the BBC would merely unleash the whole BBC to crawl over the Conservatives with a view to discrediting them in the eyes of the electorate, thereby reducing the prospects of winning anyway.

Not a mention of the role of the EU in all this?

Maybe a better or at least complementary approach for the Opposition is to publish a long list of all the Labour legislation (and preceding Tory legislation too where necessary) which will simply be repealed and replaced by nothing other than citizens getting on with things.

A handy start is made here.
