do-nothing

Doing nothing, not taking any action.

It became clear that a chronic do-nothing approach to the problem's management would no longer suffice.

Manchester needs more railway capacity. Just how that is provided until the new platforms are built for HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, I will leave for the experts, but a do-nothing approach is not going to be helpful and quite justifiably will create more arguments that the North is being ignored.

A lazy person.
