The real problem with all this: There is a world of politics: policies and slogans and opinion polls. There is a world of government: actions of the bureaucracy, occasional legislation passed. They don't actually have very much to do with each other.

Giving the politics side of the equation much more detailed expression will just expose much more that it's all fundamentally irrelevant. And I don't mean that "politicians are corrupt" or anything like that, just that the problems of government have little to do with politics.

Take the "windrush" episode. The issue is that the Home Office doesn't know who has been here for 60 years and two generations, and who arrived last Tuesday. The politics is all "be nice to people" or "clamp down on immigration", but none of that translates to action.
