I love what UK Gov is doing, they actually sound like the kind of business that I'd love to work with (I'm totally surprised because it's a Government) and I'm learning a lot just with these articles.

I'd also love to see other governments to take a similar approach, but that seems highly unlikely for most countries including Spain (where I am from).

NHS is also very good in my opinion. http://alpha.nhs.uk comes in at 100KB with fonts
We’re hiring back-end developers and web-ops currently, maybe you should apply?
Thanks, it looks great and I'd consider it in 8-10 months, but I am committed to doing some contracting/projects right now.
How is this relevant to the conversation?
Because they are working on UK Government projects, check the profile :)
It has worked because they've done what goes against normal government behaviour and that is, "keep it simple". They are also learning to share resources so that multiple government sites can share postal and payment engines - something which is so obvious but so lacking!
