The Economy Drive(节约运动)
- The civil Service merely exists to implement legislation that is enacted by Parliament. So long as Parliament continues to legislate for more and more control over people's lives, the Civil Service must grow.【文官系统只是为了贯彻议会颁布的法律而存在。只要议会未来越来越多地控制人民的生活还在不断立法,那么文官就必须要增加。】
- There has to be some way to measure success in the Service. However, the Civil Service does not make profits or losses. Ergo, we measure success by the size of our staff and our budget.【总得有一个办法来衡量行政工作的成就。然而,文官系统不能计算盈利或亏损,因而以职员人数和预算的多少来衡量成就。】
- Politics is the art of the possible.【政治就是玩弄可能性的艺术。】
Jobs For The Boys(任人唯亲)
- The Official Secret Act is not to protect secrets but to protect officials.【官方秘密法案不是用来保护秘密而是用来保护官方的。】
Party Game(党内博弈)
- The first rule of politics is Never Believe Anything Until It's Been Officially Denied.【政治上的第一条原则是: “不要相信任何事,除非它被官方否定。”】
