If.... What? 'if it was up to me.' is ok?

You can add 'if it was up to me.' if you want to. It wasn't part of the original sentence.

I meant that is what the sentence supposed to mean, right? The implied if clause?

The implied 'if' could be a lot of things,
eg If I became King next Friday.

My original intention was to explain the meaning of the words actually written in your first post. f you want a different kind of explanation, perhaps someone else will be interested in commenting further.
