Yes there will be less jobs for code moneys, however there will always be a need for advanced developers that can translate business requirements into a workable system.

Yeah, they've got that one spot on, gives me fuill confidence in their abilities to oversee a)Large scale IT projects and b) the country.
Just my 2p.

As you didn't mention what this project is, one can't be much more specific. But if it is the ID card scheme (which the Tories have always said they will scrap), or some "joined up" mega database, then cancelling it is the right thing to do even if this happens on the day before it's due to go live.

Anything related to payments should be as simple as possible and as easy as possible to minimise drop off ratio.
