I have held for some time the views that the REAL government is conducted by 'the professionals' in the departments and that Ministers have very little imput. Ministers have very little option but to accept the advice of 'the professionals', especially when confronted with 'proof' from surveys and studies. <br />We should be electing 'the professionals' as much as the politicians, as do many American States.junican41noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-69202937864079254272013-05-20T10:24:21.578+01:002013-05-20T10:24:21.578+01:00Politicians, we really should stop voting for them...Politicians, we really should stop voting for them, it just encourages them on.RooBeeDoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-27529051381478682432013-05-20T00:52:44.961+01:002013-05-20T00:52:44.961+01:00I don't see how democracy can work if unaccoun...I don't see how democracy can work if unaccountable people are given unfettered control over the information given to whoever we elect. If they are poisonous extremist then their weasel words will infect any government that we vote in and their tenure means that here is nothing that we can do about it.Ivan_Denisovichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-15479085447369679902013-05-19T23:39:34.363+01:002013-05-19T23:39:34.363+01:00There is, indeed, a good argument for Whitehall st...There is, indeed, a good argument for Whitehall staff to re-apply for their jobs after every general election for precisely the reasons you have given. I expect employment law prevents it though, despite natural resistance to change in direction of long worked-upon policies being an obstacle to democracy. <br /><br /><br />If they were in fear of unemployment or re-assignment, they might be more receptive to doing what the minister demands rather than just carrying on regardless. We might even then see parties being more distinguishable as they were in the past rather than there being barely a fag paper between the three major parties' policy as is currently the case.Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-60831380666205553082013-05-19T20:50:12.024+01:002013-05-19T20:50:12.024+01:00Perhaps it is current job Dick?

Unfortunately, we do not get the opportunity to elect or to fire the likes of Andrew Black so it doesn't matter who we vote for, they all eventually fall under the evil spell of the unaccountable. <br /><br /><br /><br />Having said that, Norm does have previous as an advocate of illiberal policies.Ivan_Denisovichnoreply@blogger.com
