manxman8180 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Having the large numbers of Ministers is barely justified. But 'Members' are a complete waste of money / time / effort. In effect it's a subsidised party 'whip', to ensure support for COMIN. A bunch of power hungry hangers on. Fucking waste of space the lot of them.

joebean Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So, nice but dim Tim goes from postie to Chairman of the Water Board. This transformation in his ability occurs because a few people in Peel vote for him. Thats democracy for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Absolutely unbelievable (especially Crookhall). How on earth can this gravy train be stopped and reversed without a coup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Point of order, Mr Chairman - as I understand it, the salaries quoted above are for civil servants, not politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
