Government Rules OK

The structure of the UK government is a fantastic achievement of politics, with the constitution a strong, yet decentralised, idea of the politically talented. It is important, however, that these people know what the evils of politics are, and so identify with them, otherwise it is not actually understanding the subject matter. With this in mind modern politicians have to know necessary evils as well, but sometimes succumb to these temptations, like Boris Johnson, who abused his position of power to get the garden bridge design of a certain individual to be passed, even showcasing this design before the competition had started, breaching rules.
Thank god for the traditions of Parliament and also the House of Lords, since they train people to either accept or reject an emotional basis of politics, where the winning minister goes further in their career. This means that a person who can acclimatise their values with their political power and their emotions will succeed.
The next part of government that is no good, particularly in the modern age, is the mantra that you do what has to be done, the idea that you try for a goal and don't think of the consequences, such as what financial cost will this incur. You cant just decide to make a huge sacrifice to get an important decision made, especially when there are greater forces out there than yourself.
There is also a social engineering part of government, partly in that the way of creating brands where there is none. This is so that the government can make public opinion believe a specific idea when it is trying to cover something up. An example being the "northern powerhouse", after the economic destruction of the north. It seems much of government is trying to make a 'transparent' brand for itself, to show the world that Britain is great to get the general public onside that we are going down a ditch, because the government is very shady. There is also a facet of politics where the current story of events, particularly the emotional connections between stories, dictates what those loyal to the media do in their everyday lives.
It is a good idea for politics to be subtle if there is a necessity for subversion of power. Take for instance the Bibles' new testament, at the time it was used for the subversion of the Roman empire. This is highly useful for many who want to both understand how power works or use it for their own goals, good or bad. These religions are often used for teaching people what to do with their time, but they hold key pieces of information about the power structures they seek to heal or consume. Often they inspire a kind of social evenness, taking people away from the classic alpa/omega structure used in most industries, but they also inspire great power of the sufferer of injustice, something that makes a slight postive impact.
This is part of the government and will be for as long as can be managed, as this is the long lasting way of guarantying a functional government.
Ideally they would like to make opposition states more peaceful by matching their bad with bad, ie for every computer hack, we send something equally easy for our small nation to do, like a release of sensitive information to the public. Unfortunately a small nation cannot indefinitely keep this up as it would exhaust us, and if it didn't it would lead to issues such as huge political tension for the smaller nation. This would mean that the smaller nation would have its hand forced, and would have to do something like Brexit, where the deal to remain in the single market would make us have more leverage with the powers seeking to undermine us. Leaving, however, would put huge pressure on us by that the globalisation front, which would likely mean they try and turn us to fascism. This order, trying to guarantee a unified world, will have some downsides, but will not function well at first if it has to be sneaky about how it gets in to power, such as through TTIP. As is the way with power, the change will only come when it is necessary, so it would take a large amount of effort or a minor catastrophy to change that power. This would have to be an immediate, threat. Globalisation, in my opinion, since trade is already global, is a force of the richest to return us to feudalistic money makers, where Pharamasuiticals are fed to us to keep us both happy and trapped within the confines of our lives, and smartphones track our movements so the government can assess any person that is a threat, or congregating in groups too big for their liking.
