Ministers of state come and go, but civil servants are there forever. This is how the White House has functioned perfectly happily despite the President not being fully 'fit' for some time.
There is a 'Yes Minister' clip that helps to explain EU (or back then EEC) membership despite popular hatred of Europe (that ultimately led to Brexit when stupid ordinary people decided things rather than people who understood trade and diplomacy - like the civil service). Sorry to hear that your incoming new political regime is going to wipe out your independent civil service that knows things in favour of temporary political lunatics - your chances of surviving until the next century will likely nose-dive.
The complete Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister scripts were available in book form. Secondhand, surprisingly at a reasonable price!
This, and its predecessor "Yes Minister", was a favorite show of former UK PM Margaret Thatcher.

One of the best tv shows ever made.

So witty and funny but true!

You need to watch whole episodes the first time. You don't really get the full force from clips.
