Three articles of Civil Service: it takes longer to do things quickly; it is more expensive to do them cheaply; it is more democratic to do them in secret
Civil servants are grown like oak trees, not mustard and cress.
A: tell him the unions won't wear it.
B: but they like it!
A: that's beside the point.
A: well, if I might suggest...that we be realistic about this.
B: by realistic, you mean drop the whole scheme?
A: oh, dear me, no! but perhaps, a pause to re-group, allow us to reassess the situation and discuss alternative strategies? a space of time for mature reflection and deliberation?
B: ...yes you mean drop the whole scheme.
A: you are not saying that government the Britain is important?
B: no! it is very important! it's just that I haven't met anyone who's doing it!
看别的集的时候忍俊不禁,到第六集只觉得悲哀,没有继续看下一集而是来回三遍。
Humphrey在任职30年内服务了十一届政府,态度不断变化,对共同市场先反对后支持,从支持国营到私营,从支持死刑到支持废除死刑,认同凯恩斯主义和弗里德曼主义。不是因为他得出了道理,年纪越大,认为的越是对的,而是因为他通过公务员体系成为了既得利益者。正如素质教育的最大支持者是教师群体,废除死刑的最大得益者是律师。
“道德只有对与错,没有小错与大错。政府追求的并非是道德
The three articles of civil service faith: it takes longer to do things quickly; it's more expensive to do them cheaply; it's more democratic to do them in secret.
今天聊聊英剧《是,大臣第3季》。
片名Yes Minister Season 3 (1982),别名遵命,部长 / 部长大人(台)。
《是,大臣》第三季中詹姆斯·乔治·哈克大臣(James George Hacker)继续和汉弗莱·阿普尔比爵士(Sir Humphrey Appleby)斗智斗勇,顺带着可爱的伯纳(Bernard)在旁边冷冷吐槽。
哈克大臣代表的是职业政客,阿普尔比和伯纳代表的是职业公务员,两方根本利益不同,但也因为身处同一个部门而在宏观上处于利益共同体。双方除了较劲外,更多还是以把自己的蛋糕做大为根本。
在编导的带领下

——Backbench (backbenchers)后座议员——
Backbenchers are MPs or members of the House of Lords that are neither government ministers nor opposition Shadow spokespeople. They are so called because, in the Chamber, they sit in the rows of benches behind their parties' spokespeople who are known as frontbenchers.
[img=2:C]House of Commons[/img]
Traditionally, backbenchers were called 'private members'; when a bill is introduced by a backbencher it is still described as a Private Member's Bill.
How effective are Backbenchers in the House of Commons?
While backbenchers are having more of an influence in recent years, they are rarely effective at forming a resistance to the power of the executive, and thus they are really limited in their effectiveness in shaping world events.
