Ways in which the civil service operates:
Civil servants filter information that is presented to ministers - we should know what advice is being given to ministers.
In their efforts to avoid crisis they have created an unofficial corporatist system of political consensus - this is antithetical to democracy.
They operate a system of patronage, particularly through the appointments to public bodies and committees.
Also we need to know a lot more about the secretive Legislation Committee.
