It is inherent in administrations that the bureaucracy is a state within a state. They are difficult to control and the existing controls, including the media, uncover the boondoggles, scandals, and waste of money only after the facts. This causes lots of noise for a few days - until next time.

Actually, the TD system creates another bureaucracy running parallel to the administrative bureaucracy but it is very different. As entrepreneurs the TD MPs run their offices efficiently and without any frills because these cut into the profits. F. i., when calling the office of a TD MP one will not get a voice on a machine which says to push buttons and when doing so, one still gets another voice saying - I am not at my desk, please hold.

A citizen will not encounter this kind of frustration when contacting the offices of the TD MPs because any incoming call will be treated as an opportunity to secure a vote for the next election. Thus the nature of the TD MP's bureaucracy lends itself to be the control mechanism of the administrative bureaucracy. Finally citizens can now fight city hall.

The control mechanism of the TD system will work because:
  • Citizens are the first ones who experience difficulty with the bureaucracy.
  • Whistle blowers can stay anonymous and avoid ostracism
Therefore, if TD MPs have the power to interfere and reach - given a cause - into every level of the bureaucracy, the nation's administration will be efficient. In most cases a telephone call, even by an assistant, will suffice and serious bureaucratic infraction will not be swept under the carpet.

This control mechanism of the TD e-parliament solves two other problems:

  • The threat of terrorism necessitates new rules which infringe on civil rights. Of course, this is a windfall for the bureaucracy. The citizens' control, through the TD e-parliament, will keep this in check and will remove these rules as soon as possible.
  • The question to privatize or not to privatize essential public services like health care, transportation, etc. can be answered. In case of privatization, ‘Enronism', i.e. exploiting the public, is unavoidable because of the ever present human greed. Although the control mechanism of the TD system could be applied effectively as well, it would practically negate the advantages of free enterprise. Therefore, public service must be in public hands and it will be the TD e-parliament, i.e the people themselves who will control any bureaucratic mistakes and excesses.
