With the current government incumbents making a pig's ear of the country's finances... I think that the time has come to scrap party politics and move the UK towards a country run by the best financial and economic brain's ... not those who think that a tax manifesto etc or following historic party trends is the answer!!!

But how do you decide who they are? Are they elected or chosen by a board of peers - in which case bribery and "old boys' networks" could actually exclude the best. A representative democracy may be flawed, but at least the people get some say when election time rolls around. What you are proposing sounds like a variation on dictatorship - and then what's best for the country may not be top of the agenda...
