That puts the cart before the horse. People voted for them, so they are provided - and the people required to run them removed from the private sector.

To invert that, what exactly are you planning on doing with the people currently in the public service, which the people voted for, that is so much more important than providing the services the people voted for?

It is for the private sector to justify its use of resources, not the public sector. The public sector has a democratic mandate.
