@hypolite @mullvadnet One of the big problems is the 4 year election cycle, knowledge and real world experience don’t have much of a say when each successive government has its own ideas and wants to make a name for themselves. That and shuffling politicians between posts, one month you’re head of transport for the whole country, the next you’re supposed to be responsible for the health service. Like you’re so competent you can manage such diverse areas with aplomb. Also, a head in the sand approach to what works the best. An other country may have solved a particular problem but we can’t be seen to be adopting their great idea because we have to come up with it ourselves and ignore the received wisdom, spend years implementing it and finding out it doesn’t work when the work has already been done.
