It's weird you know, I had a mate who worked in policy in Whitehall. At the end of the day, they just kinda frame and look into what the government want but always seemed to me spent all the time asking one question: "how will people try to get around this?". He quit in the end because he got frastrated that they'd spend years figure out intricate regulation and people would find a workaround within a couple of days. Never ever seemed to occur to ask the question of whether people actually wanted it! Bloody odd if you try to square that with the concept of representation
