Political parties outline their budget plans in their manifesto, the public votes in the election, spending is then further outlined in the budget. I assume you voted?
I have no problem in seeing money spent where it should be spent, but when it comes to things like spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on 'consultancy' (where projects are never realised), then I'm sure you'd agree there's a right to be heard.
Also, why isn't there any refund when that kind of sick end-result occurs ? - it seems private companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

You do have a right to be heard. Write to your MP or councillors. Don't vote for them next time round. Run for office yourself or join a political party. There are lots of ways to make your opinions listened to.
Implementing some sort of do you want to spend this £10 on a) healthcare or b) education system would be somewhat unworkable.

Only reasonable. What would Dave like to do about setting next year's local services support grant?

It would all go on Haribo, and they'd be no toilet paper.
In my neck of the woods, £33,000 of taxpayers' money was wasted on plans for a health centre. That figure didn't include any staff costs.
I'd say that's pretty disgusting. Even moreso when nothing was claimed back.
This is highly subjective.
We would need a referendum every week.
