I've worked in governance for two decades. Whether it's a sporting club, or a major organisation, or a parliament, you only have to spend a day in these places to know the real reason governing people is hard. People are just plain fucking crazy. And they don't compromise. And they're always sure they're right. And they're lazy. And they lie, they nearly always lie. And all of that is fine. What isn't is blaming politicians for it, or the boss, or the local club executive. But shifting blame is another thing people do, so there we have it.
