1) social issues - legalization of prostitution and drugs

2) income disparity - huge tax increases on the powerful and a generous dole for the commoners.  Top rate should be around 70%, dole say 1,500/month.

3) health care - free for everyone, single payer, etc.

4) general economic management - apply more Keynesian push through wage-increasing mechanisms such as unions, and stop relying on the ridiculous interest rate mechanism.  Oh I suppose they think the collapsed dollar will provide a 'push' in leiu of wage increases, but that's nonsensically small.

5) education/infrastructure, etc. - the State roles abdicated by the Right.  Free education for all through PhD level, and at least triple spending on infrastructure, focusing on public transport/high density development.
