In the UK at this joke is almost always aimed at bean counters and high powered management consultants rather than politicians. They fit the bill a lot more closely. It dates from the launch of the Blackberry.

For instance our regional fire service spends roughly 30x more on its "Corporate and Democratic Core" (whatever that is - an English language definition is not available only more management speak) than it does on Emergency planning. C&DC must be really important because it costs 10% more than "Management and Support". To be fair though 97% of their budget *is* spent on fighting fires, fire safety and emergency rescue.

C&DC is an invention of the management consultants.
