“… we should move the whole shooting match to Bradford.” Why not Outer Mongolia where it can do no more damage?

Three steps:-

- privatise what government doesn't have to do

- localise what works best of what government has to do

- simplify what's left.

Privatisation would quickly lead to more things moving out of London because the capitalists would have the incentives to look for savings, like government doesn't.

Localisation would spread the workload across councils.

Simplification would lead to less central government jobs, generally. The money saved would go back into taxpayers pockets.
