Whatever the case, many here think it's real simple - and if there were only some people with an IQ over 50 and weren't corrupt, and used my ideas it would all just fall into place.
If any of you guys eventually get jobs for a municipality in a technical or decision-making capacity, you're gonna get your eyes opened real wide.

I have lived in London all my life, and I want to see the city succeed. When the city succeeds, we all succeed.
I am 25 years old and as a junior marketing consultant/graduate student I feel I bring a critical eye to how organizations are run. You have to have criticism in order for anything to be its best. Companies and municipalities don't like to hear criticism, but if they are going to be the best they can be, they have to at least listen to what consultants and other outsiders are saying. I've dealt with it in consulting - organizations like doing things the way they're familiar with, and they don't want to change. People like the status quo.
I do come across as a pessimist here. But we need to focus on where things could be improved in order for the City of London to be the best it can be.
