A successful company is usually measured by profit, don't you think? But that doesn't mean having great people management isn't a good thing. It's just hard to quantify that on a balance sheet.
Quote:I was thinking of things like waiting lists for housing, operations, acc claims etc whenever national get in Budgets get cut in the interest of 'efficiency', services reduced and people end up no longer qualifying to be on the waiting list, ACC suddenly start rejecting more claims etc... those sort of things, happens every time Nats get in... 
Yes they bring financial management to the table, arguably with better experience than labour,  but I feel like Nats are too extreme in the 'efficiency' dept to the detriment of the above...  Like I said, there needs to be a balance... king1
The tightening of the belt by National usually comes about to pay off the debt Labour has racked up.
They both bloody useless at the end of the day, and the quality of life many New Zealanders have to endure is living proof.
