Currently Scotland has
too much centralised government - by Brussels, Westminster, Holyrood and
Local Authorities, yet there is a marked lack of democratic
representation and accountability. The current system was set up for
remote centralised control with little or no accountability to the
electorate. This has resulted in poorly managed public services and
quangoes where there is a significant amount of patronage, cronyism and
corruption amongst senior management. In contrast, where the public
sector has achieved, this has been attained through the dedication and
skills of the front-line professionals in spite of the limitations being
imposed by excessive administrative red tape.
