thats a higher opinion than most of us have of them

The exercise of power is rarely perfect. But this crisis has pushed governments everywhere to their limits.

The emergency here has demanded that the state extend its tentacles almost everywhere - managing the health crisis, propping up multiple industries, supporting the wages of nearly half of the working population and issuing instructions to us all on the way to live our lives.

The irony?

Despite the longer and longer list of tasks the government is carrying out, the number of people calling the shots is tiny.

One cabinet member told me: "Morale is difficult - there are a lot of people just not involved in making decisions."

Another admitted some feel "excluded" - the prime minister, and only a handful of others calling the shots. A senior official even suggested "more than half the Cabinet have no clue what's going on".





bad decisions are costing lives
