Unfortunatly thats not going to happen. Politicians need to be seen to be doing something. it doesnt matter what or the impact, they just need that soundbite, that manipulation of the facts to show how wonderful they have done etc


I know sad isn't it :roll:

Ministers like to be seen doing something, so they interfere. While they only create policy and civil servants actually administer the changes the whole system ends up in a mess.

So were in agreement. Robust management in the civil service coupled with the extermination of all politicians. :twisted:
