I think it's already possible to apply for a disabled parking bay outside your home, though your local authority may make you jump through a few bureaucratic hoops first. However, I did have a case once where a woman couldn't get a disabled bay outside her home because although she did have a disability, her husband was the driver.

I like the thread by the way, I have a few policies for you.

1. Bring into the NHS hospital porters, cleaners and caterers so they have a stake in the success on their hospital.

2. Increase the minimumwage until it is at a living wage and if employers can't afford to pay it, they should have to apply for benefits rather than their employees doing so.

3. Adopt the German guaranteed tariff system for supporting clean electricity generation - a system that no only supports clean technologies but which supports 250,000 jobs in Germany.

4. Have local communities draw up an "ugly buildings" list that will give developers an indication of what sites a community might like ripped down and replaced.

5. Elected Mayors in all local authorities to improve accountability.

6. New offences covering the supply of weapons to minors with particularly tough penalties for supplying guns and bombs etc. If a child shoots someone, the supplier of the weapon should be held at least equally culpable.

7. Abolish Lords

8. Disestablish the monarchy and the church

9. Make the EU democratic

10. Dispose of our nuclear arsenal.

11. Send astronauts to Mars

12. Big grant to Monkeyworld so more people can learn about monkeys.

13. Send a team to kidnap Andrei Lugovoi so he can be shipped back to Britain to face trial for assassinating Alexander Litvinenko (and of course be found innocent if he is).

Policy idea 3. is a good one.  Think it's existing Lib Dem/Tory policy.  One expects that we will adopt it by next year.

Mission to Mars and a democratic EU are bitesized proposals? Alex, I admire your 'can-do' attitude!

Here's a few suggestions (some which prove I should never hold power - ever!)

I'd introduce an independent fact checker to validate or debunk claims made by "experts" or politicians in national newspaper and TV interviews.

Do something to discourage journalists from quoting "unnamed sources" or "insiders".

Introduce a "How purposefully annoying is it?" column for the Advertising Standards Authority when checking TV ads.

Set up a £100k hospital cleaner's bonus fund. In each large hospital's budget, set aside £100k to be given every year to the most effective individual cleaner based on some kind of points system - least MRSA, cleanest ward etc. Do something similar for Policemen and train station managers (for more money).

Employ people to follow reality tv producers around all the time with cameras until they stop producing tripe.

Reduce council tax for local newspapers who set aside a page a week to let people know what's going on in their local council.

Setup a national database of all houses available for rent and sale and all job vacancies.

Put mental health warnings on soap operas.

Scrap BBC license fee and pay out from central government.

Ban shops and off-licences from selling alcohol to people who are clearly homeless.

Subsidise paint for anyone painting over grafiti. Ban spray paint while you're at it or at least make it very difficult to get hold of.

Beg FIFA to ban players from play acting and feigning injury (referee to watch game afterwards). It would lead to less acrimony on stands and, presumably, less violence from fans...

Introduce a requirement for all public office holders who "cross the floor" to face an affirmative ballot of their constituents - the ballot would be a yes/no question: "Do you agree to X continuing to serve as your representative in the Commons/council chamber now they have changed party affiliation". If the vote is affirmative, they remain in office; if not, a by-election - in which they could stand under their new colours - would be held.

This would apply to those like Clare Short who "go Independent".
