>>Do you have any concept of the SIZE of government here? I don't get paid to keep track of who runs what. I get paid to write code. I keep track of politics because I care, and to argue with people like you.
>
>The size of your government might be large because it is a large country. but lets compare it with a relatively larger government in holland.
>
>I truly do not know who runs what. I could not even list all ministers, but if something goes wrong the media will highlight the issue and who is responsible for it. So, I don't have to know from the top of my head. If there is an issue that information will be provided by the media.
>
>The media does not even has to be subjective or drawing conclusions. Persons in our government are politically responsible if something goes very wrong in their department. In order for the person to defend him/herself she must give clear explanations.
>
>In some cases the situation is so complex, there will be lauched what we call a parlementair investigation. That is intended to get every little piece of information available.

And you don't think that happens over here?
