Thank you 

If I wasn't so busy I'd love to form a political party which would
attract 95% of the people who either don't vote or vote for the
incompetent buffoons. I'd target a few of the crazy situations the
country allows:

The Police spend their time avoiding tackling crime while saying
they're doing a good job because crime is going down! They mean that
people don't bother reporting crime because they know the Police won't
do anything!

Local hospitals with a supervisory board of elected local people. The
supervisory board could sack the chief executive at any time. We don't
want hospitals and doctors which are concerned about fiddling
statistics to achieve targets. We want them concentrating on the
health of the local community.
