: why miight "quangos" contribute to the debate about democracy? ( What is a quango's function?)
QUANGO stands for 'Quasi Autonomous Non Governmental Organisation'. Perhaps this helps explain the phrase. In Britain there are many such organisations, technically independent of Govt, but often influenced by it!
