With that last quote I left for you all I think you should definitely be able to see that while a little bureaucracy in government can be effective, a correct balance is needed with the elected officials making up the most significant part of the leadership positions in order to achieve an efficient government! Stephenson explains that it all starts with the leader and how he or she reacts to the majority preferences. And as evidenced many times in the book, when Fudge makes decisions he basically never has the majority of his public in mind, but merely himself only!
