In the 2010 Conservative Party Manifesto it stated that they were going to "Curb the explosion of unaccountable Quangos and ensure the surviving quangos are responsible and accountable to Government." This is the party that the majority of the English Electorate voted for. You gave them the right to do this. Then you complain that they are now doing it. Natural England are very independent to Government and so are not accountable to Government. As the old saying goes be careful what you wish for. You were in such a hurry to get rid of a Labour Government you forgot what a Tory one would do.
