If you read my posting for the first of July you will now be aware of some of Labour's more subtle, electoral practices.Further to that, it is reasonable to surmise that a second piece of underhandedness is being enacted on an industrial scale.
Remember several years ago how a certain Chancellor of the Exchequer loudly publicised his plans for reducing the Civil Service dramatically, yet in practice presided over a further increase?
Have you ever wondered why council and governmental organisations are sinking under the weight of paper sent out by the ever burgeoning numbers of bureaucrats?
Did you know that the Civil Service in 1903 consisted of just 3,000 people to run the entire UK - oh yes - and an entire empire at the same time?
Well, today one job in every four is for a council or the government. We all appreciate them when they are at 'the sharp end' but speak to those who are and learn!
From the NHS, Police, Education and all the rest, you will hear ever more tales of unrelenting bureaucracy; graphs, charts, written 'proofs that the worker is doing his/her job', paper initiatives and aeons of time simply wasted expensively.
There are three major consequences:
1] Our country runs less efficiently.
2] Taxation has to be considerably higher than necessary and
3] The biggie. Bureaucrat votes tend to support their creator.
This Blog has been showing you three areas where Labour is effectively purchasing votes: quangos, benefit giveaways and bureaucracy.
Those with vested interests will seldom bite the hand that feeds, yet as the combined number of these three groups moves inexorably upwards and towards half the electorate - how reminiscent of the soviets - it is ironic that Labour now does well to take one vote in six of those who are eligible to vote.
