# adding to the collective wisdom
the party in power comes in with ideas that are then turned into plans with schedules. there may even be targets. they will bring in a few cronies from industry or university dorm-room days to put a bit of stick about. but the same civil servants then get told they have to implement the vision and come up with feasibility studies, budgets, review periods and success criteria.

it's a little bit like NCOs and other ranks in the forces - the bedrock of the executive - vs. commissioned officers, the temporary direction-givers.

oh and I just made all that up out of whole cloth.
