Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Ontario Election 2014: Your reaction

the problem isn't that government is too bloated, it's that you cannot trim out the people that don't do anything from the system. It's the union protection that makes it impossible to do so. There are some very senior people in positions that do squat all, but you simply can't get rid of them. Not to say that all people in government don't work, there are the vast majority that do. There is also the cultural red tape in this is the way that it is done and no means come hell or high water that will change that way. So very capable people who would simply love to do what is right are stifled by the system that will not let them. Sadly there is ZERO way to change this and no political party has the ability to make the changed that are necessary to fix it.

Running a country, province, or town is a tough thing. But sadly there are systems in place that make virtually impossible to fix. Think about it.. every 4 or so years you elect a new government, but you do don't get to do anything about the civil service that are the actual ones that run everything. Until we change that system we are doomed to have an inefficient system.
