government stroke

government stroke
The deliberately slow pace of work supposed to be typical of government workers.

Why not just leave things as they are and say, "We are going to run this government organisation efficiently; we are going to make sure that the government stroke has disappeared, that the managers are on the ball and that the customers get good service".
