What would be different if there was no police

[a completely inoffensive name]

At University, there was a null vote which meant a call for all new candidates. That allowed the voters to have real claws. We don't. Even if 1 vote is cast, we get an MP. Do you see that form of democracy making its way into UK politics?
Running a campaign even at local level requires money, so you need backing, or to be very rich. There are limits on spending, but the abuse of the system is rife. Who is going to reform it? The people abusing it? Fat chance.

More accountability? Don't make me laugh. If they say on their manifesto they'll publish everything that goes on, even if they wanted to they'd be stopped by central government. Even if central government wanted to the Civil Service would probably delay it for years. There is so much embedded self-interest in the current system that only radical ways to in essence bypass it will achieve anything. Get the Civil Service to reform and come back in a decade - and it's bigger. Their internal audit found they were massively understaffed...

Government should be there for overarching strategic matters and oversight. It plays to their strengths.

Most other matters should have as little to do with government as humanly possible - except the aforesaid oversight.

Ok, so this post is basically just one big circular logic post. Government is too corrupt. It resists my efforts to put in place people that legitimately want to improve it. So I'm not going to bother to attempt to make it better and instead attempt to dismantle it and put in place organizations that don't pretend like they care about my input in the first place. Oh look, now government is even more corrupt and broken down since I changed my philosophy to ignore and deconstruct instead of awareness and progress. I guess my philosophy is justified. More privatization for me please.

Why do you think that private security guards would suddenly be employed from miles away? In the UK, police chase targets. So whatever the new targets are is the area that gets targeted. Set by central government with no interest on what the locals want. Certain crimes are also branded misdemeanours to reduce the levels of certain crimes in areas. Same with medicine. But somehow this is much better than what the nasty private sector would do...

Why do you think that any sort of problem you have just described about government police would not also apply to private? Every company wants to present themselves as the best. If somehow certain crimes are looked over and instead criminals are arrested for less offensives crime, then the felony rate would go down in their region which makes them seem more competant.
