Hello Again Sarah,
I have to agree 100% that Britain has to run more like a business, I have suggested on here before that the Government as is are all Career Politicians and in all honesty are too far removed from how the world works in reality.
To make the Government more productive and or business like they need to bring in people from the real world here are a few suggestions I would make:
1. All MPs should have a council of members, taken from local residents they represent (and NOT the local parlimentry party)
2. All MPs should actually visit people in their homes for instance when a resident visits an MP Surgery to complain about property problems etc they should actually go and see it for themselves rather than just take notes in a meeting in the comfortable office.
3. All MPs should have a council of local business, made up of local business owners Job Centre Managers and Training Providers to make sure the money Government is providing to increase employment and training opportunities is targeted at a local level and not laid down by central Government a one size fits all approach (which is the way it happens now).
4. Government departments like the Business department etc should have people working or at least advising at actually function out there in the business world, they currently use the CBI a lot but that’s made up mainly of big business and doesn’t serve the needs of the majority of British employers who are small companies employing under 200 people.
5. The Government should set up a Department for International Marketing (made up of Marketing Experts and Business people) these people know best how to sell the products and services the UK has to offer and the types of countries and specific markets to aim that marketing at.
Obviously these would have to be expanded but as a general starting point these ideas I think would benefit the country as a whole.
We rely too much on career politicians who start of with all the good intentions but get caught up in the political world and forget to keep in real touch with the people and places they represent.
Take many MPs currently who represent areas of the country they don’t have any real knowledge of having not lived their or knowing the local community etc. Candidates in my opinion should be people that actually know the area they want to represent so that they can represent that area to the best possible standard, someone from the nice comfortable areas of Sussex for example doesn’t know enough about life on council estates in to Birmingham to really get a grip on what help/support work is needed for the area.
And this is one of the major factors in the reasons why the BNP and other minority single issue parties like UKIP actually get votes, because the mainstream parties don’t know how the area is actually working and the MP tends to ignore the grass roots problems and keep the rose tinted view of the country as a whole rather than the people they are representing are faring
