Well the OP said choose 3 things, so here goes

1. Abolish the 'whip', have MPs elected on the basis of their policies for the areas they represent & allow free votes on every bill introduced by those MPs.

2. Abolish the road fund licence & put the tax directly on fuel, so that the biggest users pay in proportion - but make sure the income is used not only to improve roads, but also to subsidise public transport.

3. Abolish all forms of 'league tables' & 'targets' in government - allow the NHS, Police Force, Education Service, etc to follow best practice & reduce the bureaucracy required for 'performance monitoring' .
