Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every. Single. Word.
Never, ever trust a conservative.

Nooo, can we just actually put someone useful in the position and see how that will help and improve things?

It’s probably a selection issue. Those who are useful are weeded out in politics games due to the bureaucracy and useless nonsense.
Then it’s a (d)evolution issue for the useful ones who got in. The politics games either slowly turn them useless or corrupt them enough that also renders them useless.

It's true, but also quite damning of our whole political system. I just think we're well past the point of party politics with this issue, it all needs putting aside and we need to see real change.
