Joined up government or tied up government?

Sounds to me like it is more tied up in red tape than joined up.

A Government agency has refused to relax rules restricting lorry drivers' hours in order to allow stocks to reach snow-hit parts of the country.

Of course, as most of us realise, the more interested parties there are in any decision the harder it is to reach a decision at all and almost impossible to get the right decision. That is why we need less government - not more. Fewer government departments, fewer quangos, fewer agencies and fewer public sector staff protecting their own little kingdoms.
