If Brown wants to win the next election, he should pick 5 or so policies. Remember in 1997, with the rather modest 5 election promises in our manifesto? What 5 pledges would you put in our manifesto?

They have to be:

1) A foreign policy
2) A domestic policy
3) An economic policy
4) A cultural policy
5) A populist policy

So here are mine:

1) The negotiation of a Baghdad peace agreement, to plan for a withdrawl of UK troops from Iraq.
2) Scandanavian quality universal childcare.
3) Shifting the burden of tax to direct taxation, and on to the rich.
4) Not sure on this one, too many, so off the top of my head, legalisation of same-sex marriage.
5) Modernising the honours system, removing the titles alluding to the Empire and Crown, giving the job of awarding honours to an independent commitee.
