"Finally I would rather have a government that see's a problem, admits it's a problem then fixes that problem than the snakes we currently have."

Exactly. In the UK Sir Humphry would spend six months obscuring the problem. Questions would be asked in the House by the Opposition who would be jeered by the government side. Then there would be a major data breach - say Boris Johnson being stopped from entering the country because a wanted terrorist had cloned his details. Then there would be a working party. Several years later a new ID card system would be trialled in a low population area and promptly fall over.

Also, Equifax shows the US government is equally useless.
