On what grounds is the judgment made on who is good and who is bad?

I put this to you for consideration: the grounds to judge the worth of a bureaucracy is it’s leadership, Politicians are them.

If a bureaucracy is to have credibility it needs to have credible leadership.

As for the question of the citizens worth, Multiculturalism has been remarkable at dumbing down and isolation of communities from within the whole.

diver dan,
I don't know where you live but in Australia it's the other way round. We have good people in all parties but the few corrupt or incompetent or both in their in midst have the backing of the majority of voters who only consider their own situation.
Look at the lefties for example. They perpetually waffle on & argue their catch-cry "Democracy" yet when the majority makes a vote the Lefties object to the democratic outcome & sabotage & criticise ad infinitum.

The incompetent bureaucrats have struck again.

My lady has been put on stand by for jury duty for 3 weeks. OK it is fair enough to do your bit for law & order. However there is no reason for how disorganised this administration handles the thing.

For various reasons one of us has to be here at all times. My lady does the grandmother duty of picking up the youngest grand daughter taking her to & from school. As her mother lives 40 Kilometers away she usually comes home for the day, but spends 4 nights at the daughters.

Our brilliant bureaucrats can not, or is it can't be bothered advising if she is required for duty until 5.00 PM the evening before required. Neither of us can make any appointments through the whole period. I am supposed to have a hearing aid fitting, & a doctors appointment, & my lady some scans done, all of which require appointments. None of this can happen thanks to our court bureaucrat's slack system.

Hasbeen,
If Labor gets in that scenario will be the norm in anything official !
They're doing that now with Coalition bosses, just imagine when their bosses are Labor also ?
