10 years of the Scottish Parliament

Is it a good thing?

[ionnsaigh]

Yes and no.

[hugh]

No. Government may be necessary but it's never "good". How many layers of government does it take to change a lightbulb? How many bureaucrats does it take to divvy up the bread and leave you with the crust and a 98 page booklet in 23 different languages on how to eat it? There's even "non-governmental organisations" who do nothing but govern. There's just too much government, and most of it superfluous, self-serving and expensive.

And...who the hell elected these people who take it upon themselves to advise me on what or what not I should eat, drink, smoke, think or do??? They can't even run their own lives, I'll be fecked if they'll run mine.

And another thing....this is nothing to do with independence, that's a different question altogether. It's just my views on multi-layered government. I don't like it.
