Starting with health and education seems pretty reasonable to me...

You don't see the correlation between more staff as well as staff retention, and better service? Gee if i have more hospital staff then maybe i won't sit here bleeding out because they can get to me faster.
Yes if school numbers are doing well then are numbers a factor? But with health care we've all heard of the waiting lists and waiting room times, that's directly related to staff numbers.
I see a correlation just fine. If the Chinese were waging a ground war against the US, they could get the job done by simply sending more troops over the hill. However if you added an air and sea element and all of a sudden you need less troops to do a more effective job. It's not as simple as throwing more nurses over the hill. If it were that easy the Tories would have already solved it because they've already thrown money at the problem with reckless abandon. It's getting more out of their time with the application of innovations and motivations. Maybe if they had a better administrative services, better diagnostic machines, etc. then triage would run smoother without throwing more expensive variable costs (ie labor/nurses) at the problem. My issue with the Liberal Party is that their solutions seem to only stem from hiring more and paying more which is direct result of the types of people who traditionally have supported them the past 15 years. By measuring themselves primarily on the basis of how many people they have hired and how much they pay them shows who's behind their platform.
