Oh yes. We could do without politicians, but imagine a life without
sanitary engineers and bin men!

Trouble is if you do away with the former, you'll soon lack the latter.

Many people believe that. And yet its really not true. Political

I think Belgium had no government for a year,.


It still had local government though, which are the people who
keep local services going.

We manage without a 'government' for 6 months of every year. That is
