What I want to know is how many bureaucrats do we have, how much do they get, and what are the proportions of amount to numbers employed. A break down like this for every Government Department, including what assets are held and market value, and what is the current amount of each department in respect of outstanding liabilities, and anything else an accountant would basically need. Wouldn't it be refreshing, just for once we would know the full picture, because the only fact I know for certain is that this country has been seriously mismanaged for far too long; politicians worldwide don't have the answers any longer if they ever did.
