U.S. President Donald Trump was right about the deep state controlling the federal government; the same problem exists in the United Kingdom, and “profoundly deep structural change to the system” is required to make democracy democratic, Reform UK has said. Nothing works properly in the United Kingdom because decades of government action taken against the will of the British people, not with it, and what might be termed a permanent deep state of the Civil Service means the elected government aren’t properly in charge. The fundamentals are that any given elected government of the day is not truly in charge of the levers of state, because the Civil Service and arms-length government bodies have accrued vast power over the past 30 years and aren’t, in practice, answerable to elected politicians representing the will of the people.
