Are you suggesting that there is no need for national statistics?
Would it be better for politicians, for whom incidentally I have no more regard than you, to make decisions that affect us all without having any facts on which to base them? Surely they make enough of a mess when they have the information.
Apologies if I have mistaken your meaning.
The reason politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would hate to have to make a living under the laws they've passed..
We the electorate should always remember, Politicians are like nappies, they should be changed frequently - and for much the same reason.
