Notwithstanding any of that, come the next general election, if there has been a failure to adequately fund regional development that will have been a failure of British politicians, who can be handed their P45s by British voters. Again, not for the first time, you appear not to have understood this simple, elegant truth of Brexit. Accountability. That is a good thing. |
I might be aware of funding failures and successes but such matters are pretty opaque to most people. If a council cuts back services or improves them then it tends to get blamed or praised, not the government funding the council. It's an unfortunate truth and is not a good thing.
