Ah, in which case I agree with the thrust of what you're saying.
In an ideal world politicians would be more able to specialise. There's certainly some mileage in having different ministerial posts specialising in different issues and disciplines, but the problem is really that a specialised politician is less likely to get elected. I wonder if there's an effective way of providing sufficient incentives to politicans to become experts in another field, because that would certainly help.
