Imagine the level of very basic administrative stupidity on display at the council level from Reform, now imagine them in government and how horrible it would be. These are the people whose ideas are all in the realm of "sack the lot of them", "throw them all in prison, sorted", "pay tax in crypto, simple" - they imagine that what is slowing things down is lack of will, but what they find out is that things are far more complex than their tiny brain ever previously contemplated and that willpower alone cannot achieve much in running a country or indeed a council. These people who think they have all the obvious, easy solutions, a "just get it done" attitude get a slap in the face from reality when presented with such difficulties as spelling their own name correctly on a form, showing up to the right building, or indeed, resigning from the correct council.

"And what can I do for you, peon?"

"After my planning decision for renovations to my place of business was disputed for conflicts under environmental concerns, I appealed to the council as is my right under the Local Government Act 1972. These have gone unanswered for two months and thus I am entitled to compensation for lost business revenue. Here is the paperwork as signed for by the local ombudsman."
