Our governments are at this weird intersection of incompetence, lobby influence and cowardice. This gets multiplied in the EU offices and various bodies.

I am not even sure what could be done to change this. We have democratic elections, people managing the country are at least formally qualified but they sit in the central Venn diagram intersection above.

One of the reasons for the technical dependence is that huge gap between the ones who understand how to architecture the country or EU information systems, and the ones who make the decision.

Cut out the unnecessary layers separating them so far. Cut out the middle management fat layers. Become leaner.

There is no sensible way to do that, it is quiet deeply ingrained in our culture. Short of a revolution, I guess we are doomed.
