I have no idea who David Thomas is but he is requesting (albeit tongue in cheek I think) for a new Magan Carter:

How many of his requests do you think would be a change for the better? Are his views typical of Britons?

It's long, but I like a lot of that article. Thanks for the link, HollyD. Quite a lot of tongue in cheek but a good deal of sound sense too, e.g. electoral reform to actually make it democratic.

Yes, it is a bit long but amusing - in a bizarre kind of way and many a true word spoken in jest smile

He's got some good points - I like the idea of maluses - claw back for losses - for example. And I've often thought that if you break the law (I mean murder not a minor infringement) you've lost certain rights...

I agree with that sentiment mollie.
