Oh I don't know, they promised to take on the trade unions and stop the strikes that were crippling the country, seem to recall that happened.
The also promised to reduce crime and under Howard that actually happened.

Yep that happened!Screwed what industry we still had but it happened.However the ORIGINAL promise of doing away with closed shops took them the whole of Maggie's reign to achieve.
However I think most people here have domonstrated why this idea by Michael Howard is a stupid one.
Some institutions need LESS politics than most.The police is one as are education and the NHS.I suppose though that Howard's idea on this occasion is a step up from all the unelected quangos that the Tories set up when they were in power.Lots of teams of unknown people making decisions on our daily lives that cannot be fired even by the government even if they are cr@p at it and are most certainly not chosen by the electorate.
However both systems have disadvantages but I suspect that with elected representatives the system would be a lot more unstable than at present.
