Haven't you seen 'Yes, Minister'?

But in all seriousness I can't imagine all the layers of un-elected, unaccountable bureaucratic petty power centres a mere elected official would have to navigate to get anything done in London.

It's the same in all westminster democracies - I'm from New Zealand and it's projected to take 10 years to make a 3.5km/2.2mi underground rail tunnel in our largest city. Let's be optimistic and say it's only 4 years late - that'd be a bit over half a yard/metre of tunnel per day.
