Expert Government address three fundamental questions:

     Question 1: What makes a complex system run well?
     Answer: Have many experts each specialising on a small part of the system.

If government were composed of many experts rather than just administrators, the UK would be better governed. The current system of government has guaranteed government roles exclusively to members of two political parties for generations, regardless of their suitability.

     Question 2: Power corrupts... How can we minimise corruption?
     Answer: Narrow the influence of each member of government to just their specialisation in a non-hierarchical structure.

Hierarchical structures concentrate power at the top, probably nobody is able to use that much power wisely. With a flat structure everyone has the same level of narrow specialist influence. Even if a member of expert government became corrupt, they could do very little damage before they were removed.

     Question 3: What makes government inflexible to the changing needs and circumstances of the UK?
     Answer: Dogma. Any idea that needs no proof to use is dangerous.

Base all decisions on the best understanding at the time, and change decisions as soon as there is a better understanding. For situations where there is insufficient knowledge to make a reasonable decision, expert government issues guidance.

The current UK system of government is a form of representative democracy, where the populace vote for representatives who create policy.

Voting for representatives once every five years, where each vote is one in millions, is practically useless. Indeed, those votes not in the majority are useless, because second place gets nothing.

The vote is claimed as the means to control politicians if they are inept or corrupt. We have seen how inept and corrupt our politicians are. Yet the vote gave them power, and does not seem to worry them as they are already reneging on reforms promised when the media forced them to admit their mistakes and corruption.

Which party forms the government is irrelevant, because all politicians are very similar and all have a hand in creating and moulding policy based on any number of interests and prejudices, but crucially not on expertise.

Democracy is an ancient idea but very recent to the UK. A vote for all, other than those under 21, was only introduced in 1928, and extended to those over 17 in 1969. It would be myopic to assume this is the last system of government we will have.

If the UK has a tradition, it is one of favouring the safer and wiser incremental improvement approach, over the dangerous and damaging approach of revolution. Expert Government proposes an orderly transition to its advanced system of government.

Government does not need politicians and the vote, there is a better way. Expert Government was created by asking what the big problems with government are, and providing answers to those problems.

Politicians will change the current system as little as possible, because it is designed to be good for them, not for the majority. Politics is rooted in privilege for a few.

Expert Government advances the possibility of a better system of UK government, a government at national and local level of many experts. It has as its central principles: system adaptability, avoidance of corruption, and excellence of personnel.

System adaptability is provided by constantly seeking out, reassessing, and incorporating the best ideas. Avoidance of corruption is provided by ensuring power is widely distributed and strongly controlled in narrow roles that have limited tenure in a non-hierarchical structure. Appropriate people are selected based on expertise, experience, commitment, intelligence, knowledge, maturity and honesty.

Most systems of government are based on dogmas, which necessarily make them inflexible. Instead, by selecting the best ideas, then honing and adapting them for changing circumstances, government may constantly tune itself to provide the best possible policy for its time and circumstances.

Corruption is the most insidious cause of failed and degenerate systems. Government must strive to deny any chance for corruption and treat it harshly where it is discovered. Denying corruption is not only important because corruption is unfair, but also because it leads to poor decisions as individuals and groups are prioritised.

Even a well designed government can fall short of its potential if it is populated with inappropriate people. Government should be an aspiration for people who pursue excellence, rather than a home for the indolent, corrupt and inept.

1  A complete new system of expert government is being designed
2  A vector party will be created to take power using the incumbent system to avoid destabilising the UK
3  The vector party takes power and progressively migrates government to the new system, replacing the old system as it does so

Expert Government is totally inclusive. Although politics is notionally available to all, in practise it mostly selects very privileged people via an arcane process. Positions in Expert Government will be advertised like any other job, the best will get the job and hold it for a finite time. This makes the opportunity to be in Expert Government available to more people and brings in fresh ideas. People not in government are encouraged to submit their ideas to improve policy, and experts may offer to act a temporary special advisors on matters of detail.

You can support and influence this new system of government; see how to get involved at the foot of each page. There is much to do and perhaps no more important work that can be done in this generation. This system of government strives to encourage its people to do their best for their country.
