Tell you a true story. A friend of mine ran the Accounts Department at one of the councils in Essex. She regularly went to the Treasury to help with the Budget.

She asked the officials at the Treasury what they thought of Cameron. She got the following reply:-

Blair was respected by the civil service. He knew what he wanted and how to get it. He knew when and to whom to delegate.

Brown was a control freak and had to make every decision possible. From closing departments to signing off a £20 expense claim. He had to go through the minutae of every policy decision. So much so that he could make a decision.

Cameron likes being PM but never does much work. He does not bother making trying to make allies whether in his own party or in Europe. Ministers are left to their own devices so strong ministers like Gove can do what they want otherwise policy is dictated by civil servants inside that department.
