A government with the right expertise

and where are we going to get that from?

pay peanuts, get monkeys (or in this case, people with a long term
aim
to convert their parliamentary "fame" to someone with a snout in the
trough")

You want honourable "qualified" people in Government you have to pay
the going rate for their expertise, and every time the idea of paying
MPs more is raised it is quickly stamped on

The government has rafts of "advisors". They tend to have scientists
rather than engineers.

who pay no price for their screwups.

They can do, they dont get to advise in future.

but they do.

Not always.

Government simply refuses, for whatever reason, to get & follow good
advice.

It isnt always available, most obviously with BRexit.

If only it were different.
