I'm pro-AV because I think it's fairer, but you're right, I don't think the services that day people use will change much.
My local MP debates law and all that buisness, but when it comes down to management of the services the NHS provides, or the DWP, or anything else... it seems down to people who have jobs for the sake of having jobs.

If I could elect one law into play, it would be that no civil servent should earn more than the PM. It's rediculous that 'councilers' can get £200k for doing not much more than sitting on a board and deciding on the flowers outside the goverment offices (god forbid they make a desision that is actually important).

What I read about Tower Hamlets makes ill, one of the pourest boroughs in london yet they're spending £40k on celeb apperances for "staff moral".

I sold Tower Hamlets seven chairs for a frankly obscene amount of money last year,
They could have bought some perfectly serviceable ones from Viking for £12 each and bought some school books with the change. Because it's 'public' money and not private this shit gets signed off all day long, 'austerity measures' or not - and I bet you this would be the case no matter which party is in 'power'.

I don't really have a point here other than 'they're all cunts'

How much was the NHS's computer system? £125m or something like that?
I don't get it, as a programer, let's say you're paying every program £50kpa, that would get you a team of programers that is 2500 strong.

Think about that, I very much doubt the 'Windows 7' team comes to that size.

The amount of money wasted by lazy public sector managers is obscene.

It's disgusting, it really is.
and it's even worst when it goes to companies that aren't even from this country, like ATOS
