Abstract
Checks and balances in government are always difficult to resolve, and as both societal and governmental complexity have increased, the degree to which expertise and policy reside within government has declined. The rise of evidence-based approaches to policy in most areas of government has raised the bar for those wishing to gain access and influence with government, in that technically sound and fact-based materials now form an essential component of approaches to government.
