I'm a fellow geek so it's all good and I am also very interested in the make up and size of cabinet given its somewhat bloated form in recent years.

One hopes this more transparent "management by objectives" approach will survive and outlive the labrinthine and dysfuntional system in place. At last a Government with a long term plan, and attention to policy: strategy and delivery.

We live in hope, that short term reaction to managment by media can be the way forward

He's agreed to 18billion in cuts.

He's agreed not to raise big 4 taxes.

He's agreed not to borrow more.

Hes agreed to what seems to me to maintain 1% economic growth PA and 3% spending growth PA.

Where's the 2% coming from?
