11. Bring back compulsory national service

Sounds horrible to me. Not every child in a delinquent who needs to conscripted into national service. Some are perfectly responsible people who just want live out their lifes without unwarranted interference from the state.

I think this depends on what they are. I don't think it's realistic for a Government to be held accountible for all of their manifesto as Governments have to respond to events. Events which may well change the feasibility of their policies.

Of course there are those who are mentaly disabled/handicapped some prefer disabled, others handicapped, a few settle like being called special.
Of course I have seen a lot of special adults work through their disability and still manage to find love, get a job, have children and generally just live as normal a life as possible. It really depends on the individual and their own willpower.

A list of jobs is not equal to their availability. There is a recession and massive job losses in this country at the moment. It's not possible for everyone to get a job in the best of times, let alone during a recession. Would people be unable to get unemployment benefit then?
