Sometimes I wonder how the system protects its own. There is always someone who is holding out for them.  Years ago, I believe is was 2003, Eduard Bomhof fired a top-level civil servant for refusing to implement policies he did not like, only to be enrolled at the same level at another department.  The question of who is running the show was eventually decided in favor of the " civil servants", through there is nothing civil or service to be expected of these ultra protected fine carreerists.    Since then, things have turned from reasonable to bad. Healthcare is fucked up, 50% of the available housing is reserved for immigrants, pushing home ownership prices through the roof, and my country has devolved into the best EU pet there is, fucking over it's own original population, with mass immigration, tax admin is in total shambles,  ruining the lives of many for all the "mistakes"  they make, can't even get their IT to work properly, and our military again is out of bullets and we have to order submarines from Spain because the idiots sold our capabilities.    It is time to end their special protected position.  Politicians and civil servants should be personally liable for what they do.  But then, no-one is gonna work in government!  Exactly. That's the idea. Hahaha
