RobU Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Very normal in american politics, and no one blinks an eye . Quite reasonable really. Family are usually people you can trust so employing your wife as your personal secretary is a good idea. Putting family in positions of authority in your organisation is also a good idea. Seems now that It is not allowed anymore in UK politics, but i suspect it still goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting this should be in the news on the day the UK newspapers carry the story of Bunter trying to appoint his dippy girlfriend/mistress to a 100k job in the FO.......and then trying to suppress the story from coming out.....what a PM!! A mafia government........... and people still think he is the right person to lead a nation.....WT...? .. what do you expect, at least you can commit a crime, serve time, and come to Thailand and become an official.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are qualified, or can learn the job, task at hand quickly, why not hire someone you know & trust. 1. Elected officials and civil servants are supposed to serve the public good. In order to do that they should hire the best qualified, not a family member who needs a job and who might meet minimum qualifications if given time and training. 2. Family members working in the same government offices are more likely to look the other way, cover up, or participate in incompetence and corruption. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with integrity in government service are expected to put service before family, at least on a professional level.
