The reason for that was that the Conservatives had/have to appease the LibDems. <br /><br />Now this is relevant because at work I get an RSS Feed when new legislation comes on board and it's always struck me how little real government is actually happening, everything is either EU driven or from one of the various Govt. departments that just seems to be tinkering at the edges. In some respects it makes sense though (not in a good way) because the Civil Servants are the one constant across the years so they must be doing the donkey work all the time and they are a little like the employee who has been in a job for ever and won't change their ways because 'they' know best.<br /><br />Perhaps smaller Government really could start with losing a few MP's.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984687997030721919noreply@blogger.com
