It had the feel of a couple meeting for the first time, having heard rumours about each other, and then, finally, getting to talk. And they talked all night and realised they were in love-so got married without delay. After the wedding speech in the lovely rose garden the jilted lover, like the worst form of stalker, started hurling abuse in public at the young couple alleging all sorts of underhand nonsense and trickery.
"Grow up!!", the onlookers shouted. "Give them a chance".
Will it work? Who knows. Certainly there will have to be cuts in public spending but there is a huge amount of waste and inefficiency in every Government Department, Agency, local Government etc etc that must be addressed first. there is the perception of mangaementitis. Too many managers and not enough front line staff.
A proper value for money assessment must be made.
I understand HIPs are to go but Energy Performance Certificates remain. What sort of Government is it that creates an industry that adds nothing to the principle process that encourages people to qualify and invest in the industry, against all advice, only for the next Government to wipe out that industry? New Labour-Yvette Cooper was the Minister (wife of Ed Balls).
Let's hope the New Politics means Ministers will listen and create solutions based upon what the experts say-ie what those who work in the system say, as opposed to forcing on us new policies and systems and legislation based upon dogma alone.
