The thing here is that it may be a law.
You know, how you pull a lever, and it causes an action

an equal and opposite reaction.

So, given that govern-cement is force.
When you use force to get something done, there is an opposite reaction.
and since we are dealing with a large system AND people, the reaction will be slow (not immediately apparent) and the system of levers are quite complex, so which way will the "opposite force" come out?

Thus, Monckton's Law may be a law.
And in order to get rid of its effects we need to abolish govern-cement by force.
Or, maybe it is the bureaucracy that is the problem?
As in, we really need the reaction to be soon enough after the force, that we can see it as one and deal with it.
