You plainly aren’t taking an evidence-based approach. You’re swallowing what the ultra-remain Independent is feeding you: interim measures that may or may not turn out to have worked very well, which are hard to judge fairly at present as we’re (1) emerging from a pandemic that has absorbed huge amounts of government time and (2) we are only 4 months through the 12 month financial year in which the scheme will operate.
On the basis of this scant evidence you are concluding that (1) everything is the way you always thought it would be and (2) it will ever be thus. You’re as clear a case study in confirmation bias as you’ll ever find.
Regardless, the substantive point is this: if they royally screw it up, they can be removed from office. That’s the democratic state of affairs I voted for in 2016 and it will require a fundamental, constitutional balls-up to challenge that, not a piffling, mid-ranking kerfuffle over one year of regional grant aid.
