Oh yes they certainly did get things done. They have filled every corner of the public services with the money grabbing brigade. Through things like the NPTF, tax breaks and crazy plans like co-location, they have skewed huge amounts of public money into the pockets of privateers.

Why didnt the ones who voted not to disband just hang on as PDs and the ones who voted to go just go elsewhere ?
