And I wouldn't feel comfortable with the nation voting with their wallets, not their brains. If the cheapest 'contractor' can't cover the cost of Mr Brown's spending then services, such as the NHS, will suffer. I'd prefer an overhaul of the transparency in the way taxes are collected and spent. If everyone knew where there tax money was going they would be able to argue over each detail with their MP - or vote accordingly.
