摘要

Generations of television audiences, reared on the BBC sitcom, "Yes, Minister", think they understand how Britain works. Politicians are elected. Some are made into ministers. Some of the ministers are put in charge of government departments. But the departments are actually run by career civil servants, the urbane Sir Humphreys, who in the gentlest possible way prevent over-excited politicians from doing too much damage. Governments come and go, but civil servants are forever, and the good old machine runs on as before. If this was a caricature when Margaret Thatcher won power, it is even less accurate now. Mrs Thatcher was determined to change Britain. She was not going to let chinless wonders in pinstripes, who had not even been elected, stop her. As for Tony Blair, his party won power after having none for 18 years. It assumed that civil servants who had served Conservatives civilly for so long would be conservative themselves. In order to control the machine, he therefore multiplied the number of "special advisers" working in Whitehall. A breakdown in the relationship between politicians, civil servants and special advisers caused the calamity that befell Stephen Byers's "dysfunctional" (Downing Street's word) transport department this week.
