A non-partisan public service doesn't exist anywhere, both managers and union members of all western governments are in it for the compensation, reduction of work, more time off and monetary gain year after year. They vote in parties that are pro government thus increasing voting advantage in hiring more public servants. Waste is not an issue, generating revenue to support the albatross by increasing debt or taxes isn't their problem. This is what is taught to our children and a majority expect the same when entering adulthood.
