As it is down here in the USA, Civil Service sounded like a good idea in theory, but has only served to produce armies of ultraleftist, unaccountable bureaucrats that feather their nests and undermine non-leftist governments. A perpetual Derp State. We need to go back to straight-up patronage. Everyone goes out at the end of an administration, all the way down to janitor. Let them go get a job in the private sector where they have to produce real results. Serving in government should be a sacrifice, not the place you go to get rich.
Exactly. I 100% agree with that idea. It was sold as an anti-corruption measure, but it removed the ability of the president to govern. Before the civil service act, a failure of the administration could be laid 100% at the feet of the President.
Now, not so much.
