Proposal for an Eventual Civil Service
Post Body

Preface

This is an eventual proposal, one that I envisioned in a post-devolution MHOC, it is entirely possible that you think it is totally unnecessary and not useful.

For some people here administrative efforts are boring and tedious, you need someone who will do them without interference. Personally, I have grown bored of the Debate on MHOC(probably because of the reddit format) thus I have decided to propose something that I would love to do. Work with any Government to help organise itself and it's policies.

Creation

In order to start the entire process the Head of The Civil Service(who would also act as the Cabinet Secretary, and Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet Office) would be appointed by the Triumvirate with advice from the Prime Minister.

The Head of the Civil Service may appoint and create additional Positions, such as permanent secretaries, for Crown Ministers upon the request of a Minister.

Responsibilities

Initially the only Civil Servant would be the Cabinet Secretary, whose job would be to set the Cabinet Agenda and act as the chief(non-political) adviser to the Prime Minister.

How would such a job work? Simply put it would require the Cabinet to start functioning as an actual council rather than a senior government officials club. During my time as FSoS I started something like this, but I barley scratched the surface of what could be done.

Additionally, the Cabinet Secretary could be tasked with helping to write Government Legislation, especially something like the budget which requires lots of coordinated individuals.

Removal of Civil Servants

The Head of the Civil Service could dismiss any Civil Servant, whom they have deemed unsuited for their responsibilities.

The Prime Minister could dismiss the Head of the Civil Service for any non-political reason(what constitutes this? I will let the Triumvirate decide).

These are some preliminary thoughts, I am curious what everyone else thinks, especially those who have been in government awhile.
