A Quango – quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation.
Depending on one’s viewpoint, and perhaps political leaning, quangos either perform a useful function to the area of local or national Government that they serve, or they are a complete waste of taxpayers money.
Human nature too, plays a part, in that people whose lives are affected by a quango are often more polarized as to its existence (or not).
Should they exist at all?
The current Government in the UK is looking at cutting or culling several of them.
Some would appear to be more useful than others.
