If I understand you right you propose JSA is paid out at a level based on previous income? (sort of like france) and also capped to 2 years? currently JSA is capped at 6 months if contribution based.

Correct, say 75% of previous income for 6 months then kicking in additional back to work assistance programmes in addition to continuing to pay the 75. After say 12 months reducing the benefit by 5% per month.
This flexible only if job market conditions are critical in which case extensions to the 75% period are doable but only with authorisation via a Parliamentary vote, not just because the DWP say so.
