Projects were started, then just petered out and nothing came of them.
I've worked in private sector companies where that happens too...

I worked in the real world for over 10 years doing databases but I've been in public sector for nearly 2 years now (the company cars have blue flashing lights). It takes a **** age to get anything done and I'm surrounded by idiots but I now see it as my mission in life to change things. I'm trying to make it so people in my department have to actually make decisions and take responsibility. wish me luck

I think part of the reason why things seem to take ages to get done is the constant re-jigging of priorities from central government and the endless budget cuts. One place where I worked had 6 or 7 change programmes running at the same time. All had laudable ideals but very few came to fruition because other priorities took over. Despite what people may say, a lot of civil servants do take their service to government and the public seriously and try and do their best by them.

So having read the above, who should I vote for?

Makes no difference, no matter who gets in will be cutting public spending dramatically. If you believe their manifestos, obviously.

Doesn't matter what's in their manifestos. If whatever party ends up in power doesn't cut public spending then the money markets will stop lending them money or will demand ridiculously high rates e.g. Greece
