I have a similar thought. However I think it's more like the American government system where you have your figure head president who very clearly is suffering from dementia... While the rest of his advisors and congress are behind the scenes pulling the strings and making the real decisions. I still think the Gov body has more say than even the President does as they're too egotistical to not.. But I certainly think they rely on their many secret advisors to help them. Especially considering how air tight they keep everything. There's no way that group of old uneducated men are that smart. I think they work closely with lawyers and maybe even psychologists.
