| LOONY IDEAS HIJACKED & INTRODUCED BY SERIOUS POLITICIANS |
| Reducing the voting age from 21 to 18 years old. (Introduced by Harold Wilson) | |
| Abolition of the dog licence. (Another stolen Sutch idea) | |
| Legalisation of commercial radio stations. (Introduced by Ted Heath) | |
| Pedestrianising Carnaby Street to make it safer. (Loony campaign issue in the 1970 General Election) | |
| All day opening of pubs. (Taken by Margaret Thatcher) | |
| Abolition of the 11+ examinations. (Introduced by a Labour government) | |
| Passports for Pets. (Introduced by a Labour government in recent years) | |
| Ramps on buses to facilitate access for the elderly & disabled. (We now see kneeling buses frequently in service in the UK) | |
| Putting parliament on wheels and traveling around the UK to give everyone a go rather than being centralised in London. (Sounds a little bit like devolution and regional assemblies doesn't it?) | |
| Honouring 'The Beatles' with knighthoods. (Just another loony idea which wasn't quite so loony in the end) | |
| Heated bus shelters (Some councils have started to introduce this loony idea) |
| .....AND THOSE STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION BUT PRESENTED AS IDEAS FROM PLAGIARISING SERIOUS PARTIES |
