This doesn't mean they can't be criticised for wasting 'public' money.
It's like putting someone in charge of a holiday club, and instead of them carefully looking after the other people's money, and sharing it out when the holiday starts, they decide to spend it all on stupid designer sun hats for everyone.
If you don't want a daft hat, and would rather eat ice cream, and ride a donkey all day, you'd have every right to complain.  |
And what do you do if the majority in a group of, say 50 people, like the sun hats but you still think it is a waste, but because of economics, the others couldn't have a sun hat if you got your ice cream... say for example they could only afford a bulk buy of 50 and if you got an ice cream, there wouldn't be enough.
Would you compromise? Or would you stamp your feet and whine until you got your own way?
