There is a huge amount of obfuscation about how the civil service works and the informal networks they operate.
I do not wish to be called a loon (swivel-eyed or otherwise), but there are enough unsettling anecdotes to indicate that the Cabinet Office operates like a government within the government.
Which is possibly why all governments (except for the period 1979 to 1990) drift away from their party programmes and start doing things their supporters do not understand.
Who exactly decides which civil servants work in the Cabinet Office? (they are all high-flyers).
And in this context Jon Trickett's statistic is of concern: http://twitter.yfrog.com/mo79ewjj?sa=0
