    Honestly. Public accounts need to be way more open to the public.

    There is no excuse to keep the numbers secret at all. Even the total of military spending needs to be open.

    No future government should be able to claim the finances are a surprise. If voters cannot make chilies based on reality. Democracy ain’t really a thing.

    Lets face it. We watched 2 parties argue about how well funded the manifestos were. Then in both 2010 and 2024 whe parties change. They clai the reality is nothing li,e what they predicted.

    Why the hell not. And what is the point of fiscal policies if this is the claim. This should not be allowed. Anyone running for government should have a clear idea of what money is or isn’t there. As should the voters when governments are making choices.
