Background

I think the government must be held accountable, should deliver upon manifesto pledges and should lead by example. I propose pensions for former PMs be performance-based, starting at basic state pension with extra points awarded for the general state of the country upon retirement from office.

Additional details

I think that performance awards should consider: - Time served in office - Relative wellbeing of the populace and overall satisfaction of the PM’s performance - General diplomatic ability - Performance on the world stage, including economic success, consideration of any warmongering and other avoidable scandals I think election manifestos should be balanced against end of term outcomes.
