In politics, like programming, all problems can be solved by introducing another level of indirection.

Crime commissioner system 'designed by politicians for politicians'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9696000/9696474.stm

Forty-one Police and Crime Commissioners will be elected later this year in areas outside London. Commissioners in the biggest force areas will receive salaries of more than £100,000. Their job includes setting priorities for their police force, overseeing its budget and hiring the chief constable.

The former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who is seeking to become Labour candidate for Police and Crime Commissioner in Humberside, said that the role would bring more accountability to strategic planning.

You want "Content Addressable Parallel Processors".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Addressable_Parallel_Processor

STARAN was one such beast. It had a PDP-11 as the control unit and ran queries in parallel for instance for air traffic control. Load the memory up with your planes (that's whatthe PDP is for). And then perform operations in parallel on all memory units at once. And query for anything you need to know.

Very interesting devices.
