If you were PM for a day - what small change would you make to improve the quality of life of the nation?
I'd standardise clothing sizes. I know it's particularly bad for women, but even for us blokes it can be a pain in the arse.
I want to know that if I order an XL, it'll fit exactly the same as all my other XL clothes, regardless of brand or manufacturer.
Sizes are benchmarked as a British Standard, and all clothing must meet said standard to be sold in the UK. |  |

If you want something that will help everyone's quality of life over the longer term I would make critical thinking an central part of the school curriculum.
I suspect you're looking for shorter term changes though.

I'd ban social media outright.
The experiment has failed, time to let them write letters to the Daily Mail again. |  |

Oh, I'm thinking really small stuff. The sort of stuff which is annoying, but fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. | |

A statutory obligation for contractors to complete roadworks in the most efficient and swift manner reasonably possible with substantial fines for breaches and for failures to, for instance, monitor and adjust temporary lights, or to remove them during periods where no actual work is happening. | |

Oh, so you mean more things like deporting Piers Morgan, for example? |  |

I would make litter a serious offence. A first offence for dropping litter would result in a day of litter picking for the offender. The number of days would increase proportionally for repeat offenders. Fly tippers would be made to clean railway embankments.

I would raise the minimum wage to a level that would mean that the tax payer would not have to subsidise businesses with benefits. It makes no sense that a business pays such poor wages that employees cannot live on and they then claim benefits to make a living wage. |  | | |

Charge roadworks a punative amount per day to make sure the works were done quickly. Make it more expensive to take their time. |  | | |

Bang on, with you on this. Very little pride left in many areas, even to the point of people’s own houses and gardens an utter disgrace.

I’d give Kent to the French and then we wouldn’t have to queue for ages to go to France and enjoy better weather and fine food  |  |

Childless people (by this I mean cars with no children in them) who park their fat arsed cars in the parent and child spaces at supermarkets etc to have their cars legally scratched until they piss off to other spaces. Same rules for those who park their cars almost fully on the pavement.
Anyone who shops at Argos and holds up the queue by asking questions about the product should face an on the spot fine of £100. [Post edited 29 May 18:46]

Bring in proportional representation. | | | |

You'd get my vote for the clothes sizing.
My minor thing would be to ban spectators having conversations during songs at gigs. Similarly I'd allow people to take a maximum of 5 pictures on their phone, and ban them from videoing at all.
Just enjoy the sodding gig that is happening in front of you, and allow the rest of us to do so too. |  |

Absolutely. The amount of rubbish everywhere is depressing, and junk such as broken furniture and used mattresses is fly tipped outside a nearby charity shop two or three times a week. Surely we can catch some of these people* and use community sentences to clear up the our town.
* I mean real offenders, not people feeding birds, dropping an apple, or pouring coffee dregs down a drain. |  | | |

My suggestion would be dealing with 'sodcasters', people who play games, music or videos out loud on their phone on public transport and other public places rather than using headphones. | | | |

We all know at least one house that has their own private fly tip in their front garden. I marvel at the lack of pride that these people must have. [Post edited 29 May 19:15]
